Sorry to say this , but you will find that both of your jobs are largely carried out by people who will accept incomes of a lot less that you would.

Most building/construction work is carried out by chaps from the Indian subcontinent and the girls in the nail bars are largely from the Phillipines. You would have to be (senior) management level to receive the sort of salaries you could live on.

There have been many comment regarding rent - do a search or read the sticky threads.
