Advice

Hi all,

I appreciate that most if not all will perhaps not want to talk explicitly about this - finance is always a very private subject. However, should anyone feel able to...

So i'm sure like many of you I have been working at this for years, most of my life actually and in the last 12 months I have been able to identify an edge and finally practice the necessary patience, faith and discipline to make consistent money from it - so much so that I went full time last September. At the time there was lots of talk about affordability checks and that was a potential concern with money moving to the black market etc however I have found the most difficult thing is how to make my work legitimate in the eyes of others. Although I'm in no need of recognition on a personal level from a banking one a legitimate source of income does make life a little more straightforward. At the moment I find that I am constantly drawing down on large amounts of capital (which naturally has an impact on potential earnings) when one might otherwise take out a credit agreement. It's not an urgent issue I just wondered whether anyone had any similar experience when it came to moving house etc.

The scepticism is mostly helpful actually as it allows for anonymity but I do sometimes tire of being spoken to like I am some kind of drug lord laundering bundles of wrinkled fivers!

Thanks in advance.
