Wow that's some expenses.
Am on my first years insurance and only pay £65 per week . One answer insurance.
And they said it will go down 40% with 1 years NCD .
Car payment £35 per week ( put a big deposit down ) 13 plate insignia estate SE 16k miles
£95 radio/PDA settle and £100-£120 diesel.
Total £300-£320 .
Hopefully on my 2nd year I ll get it down to £280 weekly outlay .

If you are referring to wannabees expenses, I think you will find that his expenses are met by his school run on a Saturday, not all his work.

So you need to take £500 to earn £180.

Only in the taxi/PH trade.

No I take between £750 and £1100 per week so left with £450 to £800 depending on hours worked .
Very easy money if you put the hours in . As I have said Delta keep us really busy .
All I ever see hacks do is stand around talking.
