    Then I pity the people who only have £40 left over every month after working hard every morning.

    In the OPs case, the father would have £160 a month...

    And there's plenty of people in the DFW forum on here who graft their nuts off all the hours god sends and don't have £40 a month left over, let alone £40 a week.

    Whilst maybe not ideal at his age is there any reason why he can't live in a house share?


    There are also bedsits in HMO houses and he could watch out for people looking for lodgers to rent their spare room - that can be a low cost option.
    Trying to keep it simple...;)
