Using flour look at recipe on youtube aswel using flour ive cut out all frozen foods cost and junk food cost this way. And having poradge is great tummy filler too. I jave 1 kid a partner and 4 dogs my weekly shop is 70 top price.

In Thailand, it cost only 2 GBP to buy a nice meal in foodcourt shopping mall. Street food is even cheaper 1-1.50 GBP per meal.

No it’s depression in every area. If you can leave then absolutely go for it!

Be careful about content insureance. Coffeezilla was paying into that insurance and they didnt pay out. Gotta vet and thoroughly analyze the fine print on what they cover and what they don't. Evil shit insurance is. Edit: build wealth or find anyway to get a online only job and move to southeast Asia. Indo, Philippines, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, etc. Taking a trip there opened my eyes how fucked westerners get with prices. $1.20 usd for a 15 min grab (Uber) ride in Indonesia, fresh produce for a couple thousand pesos for groceries a month in Philippines. 70-100 USD/month for a nice condo near manila. Get the life you deserve 🙏

The UK just gets worse and worse every year, nothing gets better. I'm trying to gain some better qualifications to help me possibly move to a better country, but the cost of living is going up all over Europe isn't it. Am going to start looking at Vietnam as I'm studying for my TEFL certificate, and there's work for English teachers out there.

Nice video. There is no doubt that there is a cost of living crisis in the UK. Unfortunately wages have not kept up with inflation for the last 10-15 years at least. It's a serious problem. Just a shame you started the video with a mini-rant about immigrants., The cost of living crisis is nothing to do with the high levels of immigration. Immigration is probably too high at the moment but most studies show that on average they are net contributors to tax since most are net contributors of tax. That is probably not true for the small proportion of illegal immigrants ('the boats') but the vast majority of immigrants are legally let into the country by the government and are coming here to work.

As an American who dearly loves the UK and the many trips I've taken to all the Emerald Isles it breaks my heart to see the British give up their culture in the name of political correctness to the dark religious forces from the Middle East. As another Englishman, Thomas Pain, once wrote in my country; "These are the times that try men's souls, and so they are. Take back Britain for the British. You have nothing to lose that you're not losing and a beautiful nation and culture to win and save...Cheers.

It’s all down to earning capacity. Starting your own business in the service industry is the best and cheapest option. Decide what line you interested in, self educate or either spend 12 months working in what you’ve decided. Get a van some tools and operate. Whilst doing this sacrifice setup sacrifice all pleasures and comforts . 1st and 2nd year will be tough but there will be light at the end of the tunnel.

How are you spending £600 on food each month ? Bit high.

Rental is underestimate by quite a bit for most of the more expensive southern cities (Bristol, Oxford, Brighton, Cambridge etc.) lowest 1 be apartment I've seen is over a grand, with council tax and bills you're usually looking at another 300-400 on top. So minimum in these places is ~1.4k at best if you want your own actual space.

England is a terrible place to live

Issue is is most people can't earn money abroad, so people are stuck, unless you do some scammy online business.

£500 a month for rental in Thailand is a huge expense relative to the salaries of someone working there. It would be interesting if you can do all these comparisons to all the countries you been to using both the lowest pay and average salaries and see how the results are.

You are really spending alot in the UK though. I have managed spending less although I live in quite a deprived city called Liverpool, Merseyside!

Oh no, I'm leaving the UK. Too many potholes 😂.

No I really what get

Fx if I never had my own cancer flat, I would just leave. I’m just worried if I don’t make it abroad and I give up my property here. I want to get enough fucking flat from the council.

UK wages are too low to live anywhere in the first world.

roads are good? not any more!

Come on..., the food is awesome here!? be serious! quality here is an absolute joke!

Just found your channel, would it be possible to give tips to working remotely please & some ideas?

Dude seriously needs to invest in a Crockpot. £630 a month on food??? What are you eating, Champaign and caviar!? M and S finest range? Batch cooking in my Crockpot costs about £35 per week. And I pad them out with excess veg that would otherwise get thrown away. Soups, broths, stews, nothing goes to waste.

We are fortunate in that we have a 3 bed semi and we are mortgage free. We're not wealthy just quite frugal. Worked hard, saved our money. But l am noticing it more now, cost wise. Especially on utility bills. Probably one of 5 most expensive countries to live in. We have a house but when we had a flat, there was this ever increasing estate/management charge to pay. And council tax now, costs a lot more. Its almost the price of what it costs to rent a one bed flat, or and it seems it. Motoring very expensive. If it was my choice l would sell up and live in France or Spain. But l know my other half wouldnt entertain that.

Don't know your living situation but £600 p.m. just on groceries is rediculous. I never spend more than £100 p.w. with two children.

All the time our sheeple society pay up, the fat cats will keep laughing all the way to their bank! Pathetic roll over country, at this rate and time, it's almost as if people deserve this.

£630pm on FOOD for a single man? Mate, what the hell are you eating? I spend less than £100 on food PerMonth. You can buy flats & even houses in the UK for under $120K. If you put down £20K or £30K you are looking at monthly payments of between £450 & £500 per month. That's insanely affordable. Living in the centre of a major city is a luxury that most people can't afford.

Tobacco is nearly more expensive than Silver weight by weight.

Great video! I agree with you for sure. I have a family and we have a young daughter 3yrs old, I feel having a family changes the game even harder now, and it was hard enough already. I love my daughter and family, but it's put a financial strain on us that we never thought would be so damming. My wife became unwell after giving birth and struggles a lot with the day to day life, there is no help for her as her conditions do not warrant any help. I was working full time in an IT job, barley making rent each month. She was able to work part time, but after childcare fees and high rent costs we were almost in a £1k deficit each month, totally unsustainable. Out of desperation I took a gamble and stepped away from my IT work to start a business 2 years ago, which I have been fortunate has done well enough to sustain our family, making us digital nomads if we choose, freeing up the location of our lives totally. We left the UK for the past 3 months on a quest to try and solve our financial woes, traveling in our campervan around Spain and Portugal in search of another way of life. We found especially in Portugal beautiful affordable places, warm friendly people, and a very affordable way of life. Houses outside of the cities going for £40k, basically no council tax, energy bills 1/5th of the UK prices, wine and beers only 1EUR - 1.5EUR each in the bars. However the culture barrier and language barrier proved too much for us, as a family we were not ready to take the big step, pushing our daughter into a school in another language, and then being away from family who won't leave the UK added up to a leap too far for us in our case. We are back in the UK now and struggling to even find somewhere to rent. Everyone is unwell, winter colds all around us and our family are struggling to make ends meet. Feeling the financial struggle despite earning well in business, since such a huge percentage of business income is taxed away, leaving us with a medium income for the average family, and still not enough to be accepted for a mortgage on the averages houses around now. The best plan now is to try and find a house and start multiple jobs in order to make the ends meet on top of running the business. Perhaps starting a veg garden of our own to help with food costs. Considering multiple side hustles in order to get the outgoings covered. This isn't the lives our parents and grandparents had, they could sustain the family with just 1 income like the Simpsons show modeled as normal back in the day, how far society has fallen since then, it's a sad state of a situation seemingly effecting most of the developed world at the moment. Out of interest I looked at the old house I grew up in, my parents in 1995 bought the house for £105,000. 30 years later, the same house is on the market for £1.2M that's over a 10x increase for the same house, a total impossibility for us these days

U need to be on at least 80k now

Your numbers are barmy. £630 a month on food. Are you dining at the Ritz? £150 on leccy? Gas is cheaper. £150 council tax? Are you claiming single person allowance? £40 a month for water? Have you got a swimming pool? Mine is £20. My home and contents insurance is £100 a year. £40 for a phone!! I pay £6 a month with a Smarty card. Cancel Amazon prime, Spotify, Audible and RUclips Premium. Completely unnecessary. Complete waste of money on gym membership. Go jogging and work out at home. Your van is a luxury. £140 a month on fuel? WTF? Work in the town you live in. £2 bus fare each way or cycle. It's your lifestyle choices that are making you broke.

If you think that it’s expensive to live in the UK this will only get far worse. Check out the new car tax rates this year this will make your eyes pop out.

I have sold my house back in August. Still waiting for the paperwork to finalize. Then, back to Spain. Maybe Barcelona or Palma de Majorca. I have been here in Cambridge since 2001. Enough of the mess this country has become.

If you are debt free and own your house outright it's not too bad.

I always wanted to visit the U.K. but nowadays I feel uncomfortable visiting a 3rd world muslim country.

It’s how expensive it is to run a car as well

I got payed 2 day . Me and my wife . We are left with 200 pound after we have paid everything out . Times are really hard at moment .

It does worth it. Im romanian and just got the passport. I wont leave. 😂

I sow were it going and left early in 2022 .

🇬🇧 the rigged game don't play 👑✡33.

If you have any job paying less than £ 40k for a single person NO.

I'm shipping out this year

If you are on a bad salary in any country it's always going to be difficult. Australia has gotten a lot worse in the last 10 years. Since the 1980s the population has literally doubled - and cost of living/quality of life is also in significant decline.

I am from the UK, and have been living abroad for 5 years now. I am in my early 30s. What you are saying is correct, however I do not think the UK is as doomed as all these videos on youtube state. I am typing this while visiting my parents over the xmas/NYE period in the UK. I think people need to realize (1) life in general is becoming more difficult overall in almost most countries. living expensives are increasing so much, quality of services are decreasing and the government is still at times incompetent, and (2) the real reason people are complaining is not that the UK is finished per say, but rather people can save less money for personal expenses. I cannot comment on your work per say, but provided someones salary is not enough, there are potential remidies which may be called more necessary now. Living with parents can save rent, working from home or remote work, cutting down on costs, £630 on food for a single person per month? bit too much. I remember I paid £400 and that was generous, a key is to cook more. From Sainsburys I can get frozen vegetables, two steaks for around £7-8 which covers two dinners. A key important for this generation more so, and also for future generations is the importance of saving. Saving now, and benefitting later such as money that can be used on a house, pension, or investments/stocks/family. Despite me saying this, I am fully aware the UK is expensive, but small changes can have big effects. The UK is still a fantastic place to be, some of the nicest people, no extreme weather conditions, great educational schools and universities, still a functioning NHS, selection of international food, its english speaking, and best of all great alcohol selection :) Note I am a little biased as I am from the sticks, so cost of living is much cheaper here. Hope it all works out for you Rixan! On a side note, moving abroad has a lure which can blind reality. Meeting new people, settling into a new country, going to a country which has worse services and more corruption is not great. Yes you may be able to buy a cheap nasi lemak and pad thai in SEA (while having access to beaches), but when push comes to shove and you need to see a doctor, or get a legal document sorted, or require assistance from the police (in a foreign country) you will realize the level of corruption and bureaucracy is much worse ompared to the UK. Have a great day! :) Happy NY!

GBP 1000/m is not so bad. There are places that are more expensive. btw UK left EU and still the migration increases XD

Renationalising the UK's complete railway system will make tickets more affordable. That's the highlight of the Labour government so far.

I left the UK because of Thatcher in 1989. Destination south of France 🇫🇷🇪🇺.

Great vid, Mush

Britain is a dystopia, but a lot of the G7 countries economies are going down ( Britain is at the top of the list going down ).

I watch the planes criss crossing and spraying every day that there is a rare occasion of cloud break

I’m an Australian. Lived there in 2034-2024. End of 2023 there was a recession, the job market was poor with low wages (especially outside London), high rents for poorly maintained property and the weather was extremely bad. Most people I spoke to weren’t optimistic about economic growth even with a new government coming. Some of the customer service was the worst I had anywhere. Given the economic circumstances I don’t blame people for not having the best work ethic. Public services were run down and public transport was ridiculously expensive especially outside London. It felt like the government was too London-centric to care about anything outside of London. I came back to Australia and noticed an improvement in people’s morale straight away. Things aren’t perfect here but it’s a better economy and lighter mood. Especially in our much longer summer.
