That sounds great fun! My hands use a keyboard most of the working day. I wish I could use them for woodwork!

Whoops! :man_facepalming:

Iā€™ll rephrase, I wish I wasnā€™t spending my days on the computer constantlyā€¦

For which platform if I may ask? Can the average Joe have access?

243

HTC, Oculus and Pico. Most are not accessible to the general public. Some work can be found on Steam, but thatā€™s rare.

Generally software is made for a client who are diversifying their staff training process.

Area Sales / Account manager - Bit of a pita but nice to have a breather from the corporate merry go round. Fortunate never to been made redundant in 30 years of working, all my ā€˜jobsā€™ have been stepping stones to other things on my terms as a progression. I now have a Ā£1.5k 15 year old motor instead of the Ā£30k company steed and I love it! When I think of the ā€˜perkā€™ BIK Iā€™ve paid over the years grrrrrrr!

I wanted to be a submariner, but as I love sailing, anything above the water wouldā€™ve be fine too! :sailboat:

BIK can be very overrated as often you donā€™t get a choice. At least if you were to decide you desire a drag race with the neighbour, you canā€™t get called into the bosses office for misuse of company property :joy:

Go get those driving gloves @HTR !!

You should document your progress regularly and string it up as a cool ā€˜how I went from 1p to Xā€¦ and eventually a houseā€™. That would be the best ever marketing campaign for FT.

I went from 1p to no rent for a house. I wonder if you could actually trade with 1p, probably some of the FX/taxes would round up and vanish your investment.

This subreddit kind of gave me the idea, it sounds rad. Trade $1,000 up to $1m: $1k to $1 million

Before FT imposed the Ā£2 limit you could definitely have done this, I used to throw my spare pennies into stocks. Unfortunately mostly Sirius Minerals :cry:.
