Being better off on wages,just means that you couldnt hide the way you were living off the business. Many people say "oh my employee earns more than me" reality check for you.they dont drive exspensive cars and spend 1k a week on groceries and all that. The truth is that many people use the business to offset tax and live by putting it all down to the business. You cant tell me any different,I have seen many farmers,share milkers,workshop owners do it. Many of them are no-longer in business now because of it.

One last thing, could you please tell me where I hid all that money. I have no recollection of it and I would enjoy spending it now because I went so many years being careful about spending. Please tell me where to dig.

$25-60 depending on where you live and how desperate the outfit is to get business off you.Also how do you know your car won't need any work!Age has nothing to do with whether anything passes straight off.

They would have to be homemade surely. According to his figures he works less than 20 hours per week.

There-in lies part of the problem. Why would you put your rate up just because someone else charges more than you. go for what works for you,dont be greedy,keep rates down,and SHOUT OUT LOUD ABOUT IT and get more of the work. If you are a good mechanic,it must work. what someone else charges shouldn't even be part of the equation. Let your concience be the guide and be a savvy,honest businessman surely must work. All sounds a bit gooey squishy but the hourly rate/wage differencial is getting a bit out of hand.

Lets work from the important part. How much should a mechanic/tradesperson earn annually! Police & teachers get over 70K, so surely a tradesman should be on parity. But we aren't - so be a mean arsewipe and give us 60K. (which we aren't getting) That insult equates to $30/hr (that's 60K / 2000annual hrs, near enough) and working on the 33.3% x 3 formula, it works out to a simple hourly charge-out rate of $90. (or $105 @ 70K) Stop bloody grizzling.
