I am in my late 30s, with a very niche and specialist skill set. It's also becoming increasingly apparent to me that I am temperamentally not a 'job person' - I'm very good at what I do, love problem-solving and fixing things, but I have a short attention span and am not terribly terrific with people, so short/mid-term contracts seem to be my thing.
I was briefly self-employed in my late 20s/early 30s, but made a bit of an arse of it by dint of not really knowing how to do the business side.
Does anybody have any practical advice about how to make this work (pensions, savings, umbrella companies etc) and how to convince my very risk-averse OH that contracting is feasible?
