    The car expenses look like they should be annual figures rather than monthly, is this correct? If so it would bring you within your monthly budget.

    Is the value of your car really £35,000 or should this be £3.500?

    My Finances area mess. £15k in debt. Message deleted


    With no mortgage or rent? you own your own house or flat? but it is only worth £40k ( no rent or mortgage but equity?) and a car worth £35k maybe it is time to start downsizing? ( possibly you could raise £15k from the sale of your car and still buy another car?) :)
    Fred - Where's your get up and go?

    Barney - It just got up and went.

    I may have misunderstood but as you mention a hackney and have high insurance I am guessing you must be a black cab driver so am guessing you can't really cut back on that ?

    Apolgisr if I am totally wrong :)
