Today we are going to talk about burn rate, or cash burn rate to be more specific. Your burn rate is the speed at which your cash balance is going down. If you had $1mm in cash on January 1st, and now it is October 1st and you have $250,000 left, your burn rate is $750,000/9, or $83,333/month.
Money $aving Tip: If contractors in your area are able to haul the concrete to a recycler, you can save a significant amount of money by no longer having to pay per ton dump fees at the landfill. A modest patio or sidewalk (200 sq ft) costs $400 - $600 in some parts of the country.
1 Demolishing and removing the concrete from a typical two car driveway will likely cost $1500 to $2500 and up. 2  The size of the driveway is the major determining factor in the cost.3  Also, if the driveway was completed with reinforced concrete, then it's more difficult to remove and the cost to remove may go up. A modest patio or sidewalk (i.e. 200 sq. ft.) may be removed by a contractor with heavy equipment in some parts of the country for $400 - $600, though the cost can be significantly more if the concrete cannot be recycled.
