            Yes, that is because 200K is the number of calories you earn from eating pies in a year.

              First class travel ain't cheap you know.
              i assume some of it is from BTL?

                No, but he gets a lot from extra ad revenue he generates CUK from posting his "Is this the right time...?" threads...

                      If I had to pay for anything beyond that, like private schools and what not , that would have to come from investments or passive income , otherwise "I can't afford"

                      This country need finances education.
                      So what are you planning to do with all that money?
                      It seems from the experience of most of the contractors on this board, at some point that cash is going to go up in flames on your ex wife and a divorce or to HMRC in an IR35 raid.

                      Thats a lot of hard work to see walk out the door with anyone
