The thing with starting a self employed business is you need some business sense.....which it turns out I don't lol. I've struggled with the business side of my latest venture (the stickers and clothing), design and fabrication is the easy bit! But I was hoping I could get it to a point where I'm earning enough to move out, as I'm determined not to go on benefits, despite not being able to work through illness. If you can deal with the business side of it though, self employed has a lot of plus points.
I don't know how people can live off benefits long term though, money they've got for free, I'd feel like I'd stolen it! I did a short time on JSA a few years ago and hated it, took the first job that I was offered - less money than the dole and not at all suited to me, but I couldn't stand going to the job centre every week!
