My husband is a tradie and runs his own business. He makes excellent money, we are buying our home, run 2 cars, I don't have to work but am studying - we are only on baby 2 but thought I'd comment about the possibilities once he has his trade.

It's great being able to work for yourself - and Plumbers are probably in the top 5 trades regarding pay.

We love it and have managed to grow the business hoping my husband can take a step back in a couple of years while I go back to Teaching and he can be home for the kids for a while.
