I love the A-Team and I watch it a lot, but there's something that has confused me.

"In 1972 a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire the A-Team."

I don't understand it, if they survive by getting money from jobs that people ask them for, how do they do so many for free? The A-Team constantly takes free jobs, many that cost loads of money.

In one episode, they decide to take down a random cult, for free.

Even if the A-Team had enough stockpiled money to pay for these, it still wouldn't make sense because the entire livelyhood of the A-Team relies on the money they recieve. Also, along with having to do costly jobs for free, they also have to constantly escape from the US government, which would cost them loads of money on it's own.

In one of the episodes, it is shown that the A-Team owns thier own private jet, and within hours of showing the audience this, they crash it.

I just doesn't make sense how the A-Team stays finically stable for all this time after escaping prison.
