You know fine well I can't give you the figures for this ..thats why you keep asking. Just you can't tell me what the situation in the UK will be in a couple of years time. Now I really hope you are going to be mature about this and not jump up and down like a schoolboy and say I've won I've won. What I can say with certainty and please be grown up about this and address you're response to this bit.
Scotland has a very rich and diverse economy Yes or No
Scotland’s economy includes £21.4 billion in construction which employs 170,000 people, £11.6 billion in tourism which supports 292,000 jobs, £39 billion yearly turnover in manufacturing with a value added of £12.7 billion and 127,000 people employed. Scotland also has world leading expertise in life science, world class universities (5 in the world’s top 200), a multi-billion pound creative sector and vast energy (oil, gas, tidal, wave, wind and solar), fishing and agricultural resources. Do you agree with these figures ?

ther is also the things we wouldn't be paying for far to numerous to mention. We would also be entitled to our fair share of UK assets.
We have the resources and people to be a very very successful Country you just need to get out of your comfort zone and find this out for yourself. And try to resist being spoon fed all the negative failure propaganda that we've been getting fed all these years.
Now I've tried to be as honest as I can with you maybe its time for you to give us a Detailed account of why we would fail as an Independent Country.
