Thank you. It read like you were being patronising so if that was a genuine then I apologise for the assumption.
I am very stressed by this whole thing, as are a hell of a lot people in worse situations than I am. Plenty of people in my industry move between PAYE jobs and self employed jobs intermittently.
Please do realise that I audibly laughed when you put those figures. Even PAYE I’ve not earned close to the lowest figure you listed.
