I moved from UK to Bulgaria just before Brexit. I bought a house in a rural village for £8000.
I can live on about £400 per month all bills in. It's tight... but i eat well, i stay warm in winter and its safe. I wouldn't want to go back to UK now. My life is humble... but i'm happy.
I love to go anywhere off grid maybe I hate this government
@@tinawainwright7319 I'm not quitting the UK because of a crappy one term government. Britain for the British! |🇬🇧
How's your Bulgarian and what are the people like?
How do you even have £8000??? I'm 43 and don't even have £1000, married and having to live with flatmates
Good luck!
Now your life is exciting. x
It does not pay to work in the UK, once upon a time a 30K salary meant a comfortable life, affordable mortgage repayments etc. That ship has long since sailed. Generations of failed policies have led to this, Tory, Labour - two sides of the same corrupt, incompetent, self serving political system, The streets are strewn with rubbish, the housing/renting situation is scandalous for a so called 1st world economy, and forget about getting on the housing ladder. There is nothing for a young person to aspire towards, you're better off rolling the dice and taking your chances in a country where you at least stand an even chance of succeeding based on your merits and hard work.
You summed up a lot of what I’ve been feeling. I agree, at this point, taking a chance elsewhere feels like a better bet than staying stuck in a system that seems broken.
So where is that country worth emigrating to?
@@-owatts3589 I don't think there are many great options
Albania is great. We live in London, but we loved Tirana. It’s very affordable, and so many new apartments being created. A lot of global investment visible. Cafes are plentiful everywhere serving amazing patisseries and coffees. Young people working in them on laptops. The people are kind, friendly welcoming. It’s such a happening city truly on the up. There’s amazing mountains and coastline, and room to breathe. Great opportunity for you. I think you’d make a real good go of it. Since Brexit the UK is clearly suffering opportunity. Young people losing their freedom of movement, it has been catastrophic for so many. The UK is in turmoil, councils are going bankrupt. It’s not changing anytime soon. And inequality is only going to worsen. Many will never afford a home. What have you got to lose. No risk no gain.
Good luck with your move. You're definitely doing the right thing. Even the filthy rich are/have been leaving the UK by the droves. There is literally nothing worth staying in the UK for.
You are not alone! Thousands are leaving the UK because of the following ...
1) weather
2) cost of living
3) crime
4) poor health service
5) job security
6) housing
7) tax
8) labour government
9) work
10) opportunities
Britain has become a third world country! Good luck with your move!

No one cares about normal immigration that benefits the UK. What people care about is mass immigration that has fundamentally changed the UK demographicly. 1961 London was 97% English today it's 36%, the cockney slang language has been completely eradicated. No one voted for their children to be brought up in a totally different country to what it once was, in fact they voted for less immigration. It's akin to ethic cleansing and would still be true if it was happening to any other country.
I grew up in the 80's and 90's living in the Bournemouth area. It used to be fun. Pubs and clubs and parties. People meeting up. Fairs and carnivals and rallies. Then in the 2000's everything started going slowly downhill. I was earning a decent wage working in a factory. Then came mass immigration from Eastern Europe. Wages never went up, after that, and then the "money printing" started. I have travelled in Australia, Central America, and parts of Europe. I would live in any one of those places now, if I was able to. The England I grew up in no longer exists. It is now just a miserable decaying ruin of what it once was. All planned.
Yeah 2000 when all the poor newly joined eastern Europe countries joined the EU,pushed up rent's, house prices, doctors, dentist's etc put so much demand on everything jobs you name it,as well as regular migation,every single year.
900k Brit's in 27 Europe countries,6 million from there in 1 tiny island,then they reproduced adding another million more at least.
Most people that went to Europe from the UK were self-sufficient and already completed having their families like retirement people.
Then Brexit happened, nothing much changed everyone from Europe stayed here in the UK and naturalised and got more rights.
Then pandemic,conflict in UKrne, inflation, record migation numbers for the last few years and now free movement for under 30s from Europe is back on the cards,free education here paid by us,jobs etc free NHS, that's what the EU wants from us, eventually I think Starmer will agree 😢
Bournemouth is the deadest place I've ever been to in the UK. Depressing

@@moosky7344 I don't blame Europeans for coming here. They didn't ruin our country.
I was in Bournemouth too , late 90s. It was buzzing -fantastic club scene , great student life. Now it’s just dead. And grotty.
My son left 10 years ago. I'm so happy and proud he had the guts to go. The first in 7 generations who didn't join the Armed Forces. Nothing left to fight for now.

There is something to fight for and that is Ukraine and Isreal because it seems like your white supremacy racist government is more interested in sending billions to those two countries
You are 100% right my friend, red or blue or something else doesn’t matter, this has been decades in the making and sadly I think it’s gone past the point of correction!
When I was your age, I left the UK for good. This was 30 years ago when the UK was still a great place to live. Good luck and Godspeed.
where ? ...just curious
@@jeanvernesse8873 To the United States. It was a difficult decision and hard to leave. I have maintained close contact. I visit most years, in recent years for months at a time. The late 90s through to the recession of 2008 seemed to be a fantastic time to be around in the UK. I thought of coming back several times. Since that time it seems there has been a decline that is now in free fall. An entire generation has not seen what the UK used to be or could be. After a recent trip I was stunned at what has happened in the last 18 months. Of course, the United States has had problems too. Such cycles are common and no doubt there will be a resurgence of the UK in the future. With a shift in demographics, culture, regional trends, politics, etc., this will probably look radically different than anything gone before. This is really the story of the British Isles - ask any Beaker person, Celt, Romano-Briton, Anglo-Saxon, Norman, etc., all the way up to those new Britons whose parents only recently arrived.

It's very difficult abroad. Myself am an immigrant here in the UK, came from north Africa and lived in many European countries and compared to the UK, I really struggled. I came to the UK when Tony Blair was in power and studied and got my degree in IT and got a job as a software engineer and I have really done well. I am so grateful to the UK that helped me enormously. True now economically is not doing well, so as other countries. The whole world is in turmoil economically and the UK is not an exception. Some countries may look nice, nice weather, nice beaches, but when it comes to every day living, it's not easy. Things will definitely change in the UK and it's definitely worth resisting, life is not always perfect I am afraid. But I wish you luck in the future 👍
I really appreciate your perspective and your story-it’s great to hear that the UK has worked out for you. I agree that no place is perfect, and every country has its challenges, especially in the current economic climate. Wishing you all the best as well, and thanks for sharing your experience!
I agree sometimes the grass looks greener on the other side, personally if I believe in my country then I take the good times with the bad times and never jump ship
You came from Africa to the UK (maybe for a better life) and it worked for you. He is merely doing the same thing as you, so it also works for him. He's young and countries like Thailand have a more affordable way of life.
Depends on what you consider to be high quality life. In many african countries, job opportunities are rare but you don't see homeless and food isn't difficult to have either. Many are living comfortably, that same comfort will cost a person in the UK 35-50 hours a week of work and little to no life. So, it all depends on what you seek in life. The ratio is what matters. 500 dollars a month in many country is good, in the UK you need £3-5k a month to afford the basic Or join a council flat or anti social behaviour area to live. By this logic, if you compare 500 to 3k in Europe, you will see western countries better but that's not reality for many people and the ratio is what truly matters.
And not everyone wants to work in IT. If you didn't do IT, the likelihood of a brown person to get a job in other high paying job is rare. They rarely get hired, there's a reason everytime a brown or black person is financially stable, it's tech or operational job. This alone means many africans will fail to succeed in western countries.
Don't blame you fella, the uk is broken.
It can be fixed though, that's the annoying part! However the powers that be aren't fixing the UK. 🫤
@@joecashinothe power that be is more worried about the Ukraine and Isreal

My eldest son and family moved to Japan, my daughter in law is Japanese. He can apply for citizenship in a few years. My middle son is going to Australia on a work Visa to see what its like. The youngest just wants out of the UK. None of them want to stay here and never want to come back. Its sad for us but there's nothing here for them.
Interesting. Very sad indeed! Thanks for sharing 👍
I was brought up in the UK. Loved my time in the 70s & 80s, up in Manchester. Very middle class upbringing.
Went to college in the US & stayed. Been here 40 years. Love going back to the UK but the weather & the negativity definitely get to you.

Good luck Joe, you are doing the right thing. I'm selling up and moving out next year. I look forward to seeing your adventures.
Thanks, you too!
I left the UK just after Brexit (I am a Pole, but I have lived here since I was 16), took some time off, and returned. Going outside and living somewhere else is always good for seeing how things are. Brits have been doing this for a long time, moving abroad and coming back with experiences, fresh ideas, etc.
Good luck. I hope you learn a few things outside and decide what to do next. Finding your path is never easy, but sometimes, it is good to step away from things to appreciate things later.
The UK services, living/housing standards, and employment portability have been challenging for many who are not born into wealth, and the wealth divide is getting worse. Yet, I am sticking to the UK for now while working and investing in myself.
And go to Poland and get your teeth done, fantastic price and quality 😃👍
Is Poland also too expensive ? I heard they do not allow immigration there ?
Thank you! I've noticed that many Polish passport holders are heading back to Poland, as the future economy there is starting to look brighter than in the UK. It's interesting how things have changed-you wouldn't have thought this was possible until recently! 😆
Do it while you are young my friend.

When you go to other countries you don't get any benefits at all. So yes, this is a big problem for Brits, who are paying taxes so these people can be put up in hotels etc.
Brits going overseas must be self sufficent.

I`m up North, Paid my house of years ago, just work 24 hours a week. I come out with £1270. After direct debits I have about the same left over as you. It a bit hard to get by. I`m lucky to get free wood for heating, solar for powering the Gaming PC as I`m old. My dad has a garage so I can repair my own car. I changed clutch last week for £120 parts. I grow my own tobacco but tastes crap lol. I used to brew my own beer to save money. You was just born at the wrong time. Us old boomers tried to warn everyone what was going to happen. Now we get the blame for some reason.
Hmmm. Maybe we need to learn to how to be more self sufficient like yourself going forward, not a bad idea that. Who is really to blame?
@@joecashino I blame the government for putting hurdles in the way of fitting solar panel. I fitted my own which is illegal. I bought a few every month off Ebay when I could afford them. You use mini grid tied inverters to connect them to the grid. I just put them on sheds. A lot cheaper than paying someone to do it for you.
No, some boomers are critised for not acknowledging that the opportunities they had are no longer available to the young. Instead they mock and blame them for poor lifestyle choices like Netflix, avocados on toast etc.
@WonderfulQuill-nq3fq I would never do that as I wasted loads of money. Hell that`s what being young is about. You should be able to blow money when your young being happy and still be able to save up for a deposit. The last 3 governments have ruined it for young people.
@damianbutterworth2434 I agree 😔
I did the same in 1997 and emigrated permanently at the age of 24. The last straw was the ideologically insane incoming Blair Regime, although the writing had been on the wall for years before that. Basically, the 20th century witnessed the decline of Britain from world superpower to complete basket case.
I too have reached this stage....about 5 years ago....but something always seems to hold me back. I'm ambitious so for me I've always wanted to leave this country it's not in my heart to stay here and my wife and daughter see what I've been trying to tell them because it's ridiculous how expensive and dangerous it's becoming.
I earn £2600 a month after tax, my rent has climbed from £1200 to £1650 in 4 years council taxes at £230. Then your other bills car etc.....wtf this is driving my mind up the wall now you need to be earning 4k a month to be comfortable which I can do but I'll run myself to the ground working non which I'd rather do now with a goal in mind. I'd say 2-3 years I see more and more that people want to leave the UK and I salute you for doing so, I won't wish you the best of luck because that's probability, you will do well my friend with the sun in the morning the ocean at the view and just a different perspective and less planes contaminating the sky, you will thrive brother God bless you and your misses.
Thanks for sharing! Yeah man it’s not easy. I wish you and your family all the very best 👍
I wish to tell you to not sleep on Romania, in fact I am almost certain that if you and your girlfriend give it a chance, there is a high chance you will move in it. It also meets your criteria with rent, being safe, and having good weather (4-5 months of sunny weather). Make sure you do research upon what city you wish to live in. If you love the sea, Constanța is for you, literally going to the beach for months. If you think work wise the capital is the best option. If you wish scenery, very nice people and nature, Cluj is amazing. After 12 years of UK as an immigrant myself I am going home in literally 2 months, had enough of the crime, useless police, homeless everywhere, antisocial "kids" etc. Good luck mate with whatever you choose
Good for you darling, my grandchildren are also preparing to move out of uk. I would encourage any young person to start a new life somewhere else. Uk is definitely finished. Just subscribed and look forward to your future videos 😀🙏

I can only apologise for the negative nanny’s in here saying you should “fight” and “make a change in the uk”. Unfortunately those people are most likely boomers or don’t understand that Keir Starmer will lock anyone up who tries to make a change. I have recently moved to Cyprus, own a nice house and live virtually tax free. Don’t listen to these people
Moving to Cyprus has recently come under my radar.................is it difficult to do??
@ it was slightly easier for me because I have a Swiss passport. If you have a job you can do remotely then that’s even easier. A solicitor just deals with everything for you: immigration, setting up a business etc

Good luck mate. I hope it all works out for you. The Uk Has become an absolute hell hole. You are doing the right thing.
The basic problem with UK is not economic. No matter how poor a society is it can survive even thrive if people believe in it ie World War 2 generation. Problem is Britons no longer believe in the country. With good reason.
And they are so depressing 😊👍
That's because we pay into a system that's supposed to look after us but it's going elsewhere. It's going elsewhere & it's for something horrific. And just surviving is not a good enough reason for staying, if you have better options elsewhere. I'm so sick of this WW2 rationing, stiff upper lip mentality. WW2 finished in 1945.

It’s not home anymore, it’s a dump. I left 18 years ago, never looked back and the best thing I ever did. Good luck, not many have the bottle to do what you’re doing. They just love to be sheep. Be different 😊
The amount of people that either are leaving the U.K. or want to I cannot remember folk being so depressed ever .
London has wealthy places and is first world unfortunately the rest of the U.K. isn’t, anyhow enjoy you’re life the truth is England is finished
Greece has a lot of job opportunities, specially for English speakers, many American companies are located here like taskus or Tele performance, in your field. Then the season starts at April 1st. The citizens of both Albanian's and vardarshka, the countries you are thinking of moving to both go to work in Greece so this is something to consider. You do not have EU citizenship tho and this is a big problem as work permits may take some time.
This country was built on back breaking hard work and misery, it has to be in your DNA to survive here, it’s in mine and I’ll never betray my ancestors who lay in this soil 🤷, I’ll never leave them for my own gratification, those who want to leave please go, when the pendulum swings don’t come back.
it will be a very long time that swing . The fool who persists in his folly will eventually become wise.

I ain't down with being taxed to death an getting nothing back as quality of life goes so we're off till it gets better,I will be back when things get better cuz that's what winners do 😂
@ you’re no patriots, you’re a fair weather Brit, don’t come back.
Wow, that's great amazing news, live life, there's so much out there.😊 There is so much that you can do in life. Looking forward to the updates..
Couldn’t agree with you more! Stay tuned 😁
The UK is finished, no way back from this.
I'm English, my wife is Russian. I live in Krasnagorsk, Moscow.
Two grown up sons, ones at uni here in Moscow.
Family commitments brought us here.
What l miss about Britain is the architecture and the countryside. There's no woke shit here, no recycling family values are important, children are nurtured.
Contrary to what our government tells you about Russia there is actually more freedoms here. There's work here if you can speak Russian.
I think people need to be careful if they decide to leave Britain because running away from Britain might not be the right reasons to leave. But Britain is most definitely in a shit state.
What woke shit is in uk but not in there in russia?
Family values? Like what ? Thats same is in uk .

@@A_Sen_0what woke shit is not in Russia that’s in the UK? Are you serious? There’s probably endless things. I bet on Russia TV they don’t have an actor from every race to check the boxes. One gay, one trans, pronouns thrown in for good measure. I bet they don’t pretend to love Women’s football, spend billions and billions on clean energy, worry themselves sick over climate change, pay reparations to enslaved people from centuries ago.
There’s “progression” and there’s insulting people’s intelligence every day of the week.
I wish you and your girlfriend all the luck and love in the world for the future.
The UK in it's current form offers absolutely zero prospects for it's citizens and you would both be very wise to leave for a happier, healthier country.
The faster you swim here in the UK the deeper you sink......no point.
Good luck to you both 💖
It feels like it's defiantly getting tougher by the day for sure. Appreciate the support, it means a lot! 😊
@@joecashino 💝Good luck sunshine x
It’s sad but I understand, the money seems to be gone for good and people seem to be living pay check to pay check , I dread to think of the millions that don’t work and are off on universal credit, people are broken financially and mentally
Yeah, it’s really sad to see how the UK has gone downhill. So many people are struggling, and it just feels like there’s no way forward. That’s a big part of why I had to make this decision to leave. I totally get where you’re coming from.
@joecashino born and bred in Lancashire; my hometown is now an immigrant waste land where people get extra dole to drink themselves to death. Grew up in the 90s, have a BA and an MA in the literary arts field and there was never any work outside of teaching for me (which I chose to do abroad in Asia, for a while). Now have a part-time cleaning job in Somerset. The country is utterly broken but I respect those who want to stay and tough it out AND those who leave. Unfortunately for the native population it is really only those with inherited wealth and very good (for the moment!?) pensions. For younger people with business aspirations, or those who want to live off the land and have a family schooled independently of institutions, we are simply priced out of it...
I'll still have(very bottom-of-the-ladder) property in the U.K which will give me an income until I find an investment abroad... but I have always been a musician/painter and poet... and in those areas - in the Britain of 2025 - attempting activities that don't have the immediate remuneration factor built into them is simply an exercise in starvation. I'll be in far north-eastern Italy by the end of the year... with hopefully some forays up into the places you mention, so I see where your head's at. Best of luck!
Omg I thought I recognised the background, I used to live in Canford Heath. Now in Ringwood but like yourself, thinking of getting out of here asap!
It's relatively easy to get residency in Albania & was only looking recently, although I have a friend who's gifted me some land to live on if I want - in the Philipenes.
Looking forward to following your adventures!
Haha small world! I'll do some more research while I'm there. Philippines seems like a great option, to start with we don't want to be too far from the UK as the GF has businesses here to sort out time to time but maybe in the future we'll go further afield. Thanks for the support!
Yes, I thought it was Canford Heath too! My Dad lives on Thorne Rd. ;0)
I honestly don't blame you - country's finished and it's not going to get any better any time soon, sadly. Best wishes to you
I moved to Bulgaria in 2007 cost me around £ 150 per week to live , car and bills and all , i get free wood from our forest for heating and cooking , and 4 seasons .
Well done. I am in the process of selling my house and I will be moving to the far east. More oppertunities, better weather, better quality of life.
Which part?
Cheers! Sounds great, I wish you all the very best for the future 👍
Run for your life this place has a bad carma.
😂😂
Same here moving back to Poland next week 🙌🙌🙌
Great video.
I left the UK for SE Asia 2 weeks ago, same reasons with a very similar plan.
Looking forward to seeing your Journey, I wish you all the best.
Good luck, I would never desert my home country but wish you all the best..
Cheers from Germany... same depressing weather and vibes here too
bless you, Go for it! Get out and enjoy the world. There are so many beautiful place's to see. I have seen so many and there is just so much out there. Good luck my lovely ❤
Well said! Thank you 🙏
I hate to break it to you pal. But winners emigrate. Because it’s even harder to make it overseas than back home. Those people who emigrated into the UK years ago were hard workers and they made it. You have lost in the UK and you are running away from your losses. A loser is a loser wherever he goes. I’ve seen Brits in Australia who didn’t make it there either and after a couple of decades they go home and resumes losing. You’ve got it all in the UK. Fix your problems there and then emigrate as a winner.
The problem Paul is the uk has changed. If you try to make a change or fight you will get LOCKED up!
You’re right in general… I might be in a loss at the moment, but I’m no loser. I hope you don’t mind proving you wrong when the time comes. 😉
Don't be such a Job's comforter! The guy is young and intelligent. He'll be at no loss!
@@joecashino then why are you going to countries people are emigrating OUT of? I know many of those nationals around here.
You don't hardly see anyone smiling here anymore nothing is happening and the future looks bleak, I'm wanting out of this place as well
I hope the best for you and your girlfriend. I'm hoping things get better in the UK. It is a great country full of great people.
I’m feeling a bit angry, not because of you, but what you said in this video, reflecting how all the political parties have let down young folk in the UK-like yourself. You are the pillars of the future.
bro is in debt, hard to be a pillar of the future like that tbh
Another story of someone leaving the UK or Australia.
Go for it young lad 👦 ❤
Cheers! 😁
Good luck, it's great that you guys are doing this together. One advice: sooner or later try to find a place with good airport links, and buy a property. Something you can call home. After then you can travel for 3/6/9 months, doesn't matter, but you will have a place you own. It will give you the sense of stability. Now you are young, just travel, but in the future you will feel the need of it. And summer time pop in to Budapest, Poland, Check Republic. You will enjoy it. (I had clients from North-Macedonia, lovely people. Very friendly.)One more thing: you are choosing a very safe part of the world.
Well done for doing what you want to do. All the best and I am sure you will make a success of it.
It's not any easier here in the U.S. it can be really expensive. I live in a HCOL area and rents can be from 1500-3500 a month around here. When you go to buy a home you will still pay that kind of rate monthly. I have been thinking about what else I can do for money as well, not sure working my healthcare job is enough anymore. The other option is you just work a lot more like my neighbors but then you are never around. They have like two jobs and a side hustle to pay for their 720k house that needs work.
Left the UK 20years ago didn’t like the way it was going….. best move ever! All the best 👍
UK rent prices compare to wages are ridiculous. I own a small flat in eastern europe and all bills with electric, central heating cost me £120/month no council tax there. My friend moved to germany, I visited him last year nice big comfortable flat rent for 500 euro
Germany is no better not the slightest trust me I live here. Not worth moving here remotely. Everything is getting worse..
Wow that’s so good! For 500€ in the UK you would only be able to rent a small room in a shared house which is likely to be in a rundown area where I leave in south of England. It’s crazy! 😂
@@luke54-b8n i lived in cellar germany as a kid its a much better country than this dump
I wouldn’t recommend doing this with no safety net at all, I agree with leaving the UK 🇬🇧 but do it in a smart way, not in a dumb way, prepare a financial plan etc
I hear you, thanks for you concern. You’ll understand my appetite for risk is quite high, always has been 😅
@@joecashino There is horror stories of people who get stuck abroad and are forced to smuggle drugs to get out of a tight situation, DON'T put yourself in a shitty situation like that, you think the UK is bad right now, you can't imagine the horrors of a Bangkok jail, Look up banged up abroad, the grass is always greener but its different when you are there
Council Tax UK average Home , £1500 to £2200 per year , Mortgage £12,000 per year , Food £6000 to £12.000 per year , Compared to Spain just across the River from the UK 50 to 70 percent Cheaper , our Health Services , Schools , Public Services overloaded , Migrant population increasing at record levels its only getting worse , The Rich getting richer with everything private , the Working class Poorer fully dependent on Public services, This is Neocon Keir Starmers Britain 😔🙏
That s why brexit was done to keep.poor here and only richer can leave..
Im from the north but lived in Bournemouth from 1986 -1992, loved the place
Wish you and your girl success, it's a very bold move.
GOOD for YOU !!!! It's exciting to take back control of one's LIFE !
Sorry you are leaving . I’m sure you will give it your best shot making a better life for yourself abroad .
You seem like a very intelligent lad . If all doesn’t work out for you , remember that you are the future of this country and will be welcome back to make it a better place for all.
As someone mentioned , the grass is not always greener on the other side but that is something you need to find out for yourself.
Good luck and a safe journey Joe.
I'm from Ireland, but I left in 2009 for financial reasons during the recession and moved to Asia. At the time I had a RUclips channel (doesn't exist any more) and I made a video EXACTLY like this one explaining why I was leaving, right down to the walk through the grey, slightly depressing, winter setting in rural Ireland! Anyway long story short at the time it was daunting, but as of now I've never moved back. Best decision I ever made considering the cost of living crisis and house prices in the west. It seems even worse now than it was then! And there are a world of opportunities out there.
I'm not gonna leave my house because I don't like the decor, I'll just redecorate it
I'd love to exit but can't. Fair play to those who can. I so called rulers know they are to blame.
It is crazy how the cost of living in the UK is so high. The average salary is barely enough to get by. The weather is lousy most of the time. No wonder people are leaving.
A l lot of people struggle with making a living ion the country they go to , I moved from UK to Cambodia . I could live on a few hundred dollars a month but a lot of small business here in Cambodia do not even make that because there is less money in the economy to begin with . I see lots of expats with retirement dreams come over and think they will start a business with a few thousand backs and have 1000 dollar month income and retirement lifestyle and it is a rude awakening to spend 60 hours a week to make 20 bucks . Get your ducks in a row . If you have a degree you can teach English to get a visa and make an income . p.s I am sure your girlfriend is lovely , but most blokes leaving the UK are not taking the women with them and you may find the UK/ western feminist woke religion if they indoctrinated falls very flat.
I hear you. That’s why I’m setting up an online business 😁👊
All the best with your move Joe, your channel just got recommended to me and I have subscribed immediately. Take us along with you.
I am selling up and going to the Philippines BAQUIO city high up in the mountains like British summer all year round, Have lived there before, but now it is time to get out thebUK ….
Nice, how will you make a living there?
Be honest - you are going for the girls........................
I don't live in the UK, but I've moved 3 times to 3 different countries in my 50+ year life, and I never regret a single move. It's always been a total upgrade for me.
Your fears are understandable, it's the same no matter where you live. Sometimes you just run out of options where you are and in that case it makes total sense to make the move. That said - without scaring you too much (or others who read this), it's pretty important you save up for that big move. If you move, always expect your well calculated cost in reality to be at least 2 times the cost you thought it would be, it will ALWAYS be bigger than you thought.
You can save money when you move to your new location by filling up your new home with second hand furniture, that has helped me tremendeously every time, even despite that - it's always been 2 times the cost. When you're new to an area - you will always learn so much, your first expenses will be based on inexperience of the area, the living costs and what you thought you'd need, you end up not having thought of it all. But thats okay.
The best part with moving is that other people will get to know a new person (every place I've moved to, loves fresh new people with stories to tell, experience to bring etc.)
it's rarely ever a loss. The first 2 years are usually the hardest, it takes time to socialize, get to know the locals, settle and feel at home. You need to take ANY job coming your way, network like crazy with the locals. One of the BEST ways to get to know the locals is to work for the local schools - then you remove every doubt they had about you when a stranger comes to town, plus you're helping out were no one usually wants to help out, and their parents are usually well established in that town, and they will discover you - and later you'll have job opportunities with them.
Good luck, adventurer! The world is yours.

I’m 47. I left the UK when I was 23. At that time people talked about 30.000 per year in the same way you do.
30,000 per year is not good. The UK hasn’t progressed since I’ve left. Indeed, it’s gotten worse. The politicians have, for some strange reasons, turned the whole country into something third world. An unliveable place full of low wages, violence, and barber shops.
Good luck. I think you realize that you're going on a Helter-skelter ride. I did what you want to do 35 years ago and have survived abroad until now. You have to be strong, positive and most of all adaptable.
I am going too.
Where are you going?
I've lived in the UK all my life I couldn't afford to leave even if I wanted to, but lately the UK is less and less begining to feel like the country I grew up in honestly it's starting to slowly resemble something on Homefront the Revolution with all law and policies changes. I hope you both get on okay where you're going both of you stay safe and take care.
You must live by or in london ......33k to ring someone up , think yourself lucky , thats a good salary. Firefighters work anyday of the year 48 hr 12 hr shifts a week & after tax / pension dont get 2400 a month ! A retired ones lucky to get a min wage part timer.
Although i agree uks in the toilet
I live in Bournemouth (south coast) which is roughly 2 hours away and where the football team is absolutely smashing it in the premier league somehow😂
Yeah my telemarketing job was a good salary in comparison to most jobs and definitely easier then firefighting! More respect and pay is needed for public service workers.
Did you know the average salary in the UK is around £37k? So I was earning slightly less then the average wage but definitely more then minimum wage there. I think that goes to show how bad the cost of living truly is here…
In most countries you cannot legally operate an online business on just a tourist visa.
The UK is sinking, have a good one over seas, anyone that can leave is, it seems, I'm outta here too next year.
