he`s correct, I am 44 years old and have 15 years running my own IT recruitment company - its sickenng seeing qualified men declined and very junior inexperienced women promoted into the most senior roles. The UK was OK when you could move to London, get a flat and a job and work your way up - but thats over now and everything is a rip off. I managed to move to Cornwall and work online so I half escaped, but now I have kids growing up in Cornwall with no jobs and no futures - I am trying to get my family out to any growing economy maybe APAC, we have EU passports already - we have family in Slovakia where they have a booming tech and manufacturing industry - in the UK every job is closed down by the government. Listen to Olly he`s not wrong.
As someone who left England at 25, did the whole travelling thing for a few years and ended up becoming an Australian citizen, I'm telling you now, leaving the country isnt always the answer. When you are young, its easy to get sucked into the idea of just floating about abroad being a digital nomad / influencer type. However, in reality, that lifestyle is never truly sustainable. See what happens when you get to 30 and beyond. You will want a stable career, a house of your own and maybe even a family.

This does not fully account for it. As the video says, South East Asia is poor and yet they look after their own. There are restrictions in most countries which don't despise their own people on the rights of foreigners to purchase property , especially as investment where they can treat the natives - ie us - as rental cattle. In the UK there seems to be a virulent elite hatred of ordinary men
I want to leave uk because it’s getting so dangerous for me and my children, people stabbing children like they are killing a fly. Prisons are releasing prisoners earlier and provoking chaos. Cost of living is getting crazy in the winter time… weather is horrible, there is no summer like in Spain, Italy, Portugal or other European countries.
If you stop reading the daily mail and limit your time on social media, you'll realise that in reality, the UK isnt quite as bad as you think. Theres a reason why people who do move abroad, end up wanting to return eventually. Many of the problems you describe are present elsewhere. They are global.
I left in 1988. I travelled and worked all over the world. I have lived in Hong Kong for most of that time. Hong Kong gave me a base, a career and continues to provide me with a good life. I occasionally go back to the UK for trips but do not want to live there.
Not only young British men should leave but also young British women should do so. Since in the Uk is so dangerous for women now. Grape rates, assaults, aggressive behaviours towards women are also on the rise.

Having lived in Spain for 30 yrs, it's a country I wouldn't recommend moving to unless you have money. Poorly paid jobs and no oportunities for youth. In fact UK is way superior in that respect. My friends that stayed are all doing very well indeed
Tech jobs still pay quite well in Spain. I would argue that its a better quality of life there - spending more time outdoors and with much better food, more natural light, having stronger family & social connections are essential for health. In the UK you may earn more but a load of that goes on heating so that you don't freeze to death in the winter, on your car as the public transport is crap in many places, and really expensive, sub-standard restuarant meals, and the general higher costs of living. Tell me, if you spend 6 months a year stuck indoors with the heating on, are you really living life?

@@larkatmic purely anecdotal. I noticed comments about emigration always starts with a post of someone who left or wanting to leave the UK, followed by a question of where to, if OP replies, most often ends with negative comments of the country he/she is currently living in so I’m not whether the where to question is just inquisitive or a coping mechanism.
I’m glad someone is finally pointing out the sexism that exists against men in the Uk! Ive been here two years and I am planning my return to America once I’m done with my masters.

If you’re not inclined to the digital/entrepreneurial lifestyle then a good approach is to think about moving to other countries in the anglosphere. I travelled extensively in Australia, New Zealand and the US and found Aus was the one for me. In Australia specifically they have medium and long-term skill shortage lists to focus their immigration program. While the list does change over time, there are many skills that are always there which you can plan your education or retraining. Whatever you do, work and strive like your life depends on it - because it does. You only get one crack at this life.
This is good advice for anyone working in the medical field, police, etc. My partner is a nurse and Australia, New Zealand etc. are constantly recruiting in these fields.

I've heard about people moving to Thailand, but it might be too far a cultural shift for many who are used to European society. Personally, I wouldn’t consider moving there due to the significant cultural differences. Even though flats and food might be cheaper in Thailand, the overall cost of living can be similar to Eastern European countries like Bulgaria. In Bulgaria, you can also benefit from lower living costs, reduced taxes, and potentially better business opportunities.

I'm just going to throw this out there. I'm in the USA. There is opportunity in the skilled trades. If you can establish character and work ethic, perhaps you could find a sponsor in the US in an apprentiship program. Think: electrician, plumber, HVAC, masonry, building, general construction or construction management. Reasonable intelligence and a British accent will get you a long way in getting started here. All you need is that first job and ambition. These are decent paying jobs that will allow you to develop the skills to start your own business, and in the USA, business ownership is the common way to wealth. We don't have the same class system you are saddled with.
I’m an older man who wants to leave Los Angeles. I’m too old to deal with the ‘woke’ sh@t show taking over here and the rest of the country. There is no place for me here. It’s extreme views and ideas that are ruining my home here. There are no middle ground areas anymore and ignorance is being allowed to reign. Speaking freely is frowned upon. Cray times
Woke is western society. It's equality, rights, equitable economy, respect, tolerance. If you're not on board with your own society and against everyone else in it, it's you that's singling yourself out, and contributing to the detriments and collapse of society. Basically you just need to grow up, man up, and stop being such an ignorant, intolerant prick. Everything would turn around for you and for society if YOU would be a real man and grow tf up. Want everything handed to you by women. Want the right to punch gays and Muslims or whatever. Stand for something greater than yourself, protect the weak, grow a spine, especially a moral spine. Then you'll finally have the courage to face yourself and realize you're the problem.
Having lived in Orange County for a while .... you have it way better there.

The most depressing thing ever reading so many people talking they got out and left England. Gentlemen this is our country and for 1000 years all we have done is fight to keep it ours.
It's questionable whether indigenous Brits are even the majority any more. All our major cities are stuffed full of immigrants, many of whom are of questionable immigration status, in illegal sublets and working cash in hand jobs, so don't appear on the census. There were 50 million people living in the UK when WW2 ended, do you really think there are only 66 million now? Back in 2007 our real population was already approaching 80 million based on food consumption data. It's probably 90 million or more by now. Go into any of our major cities and see how packed with foreigners they are. Even the white people you see mostly speak Eastern European languages when they talk. The sad truth is we're probably already in the minority.
Sri Lanka is affordable. Rents are low and palm trees grow A month by the sea can be as little as 100Euro a month, eating out for less than 2 euro if you stay away from touristy places.
There are places in Thailand (and elsewhere) like that. I was staying in an apartment in Rayong, with own swimming pool, private beach (always clean) on the doorstep, gym, mini-mart, 24-hour security, cleaner, and 40 Mbps wifi for $150/month. Yes, I had an electricity bill on top of that (typically $20!), but try getting that, (and the great weather and warm sea) in UK for $150/month!! :)
@@Mindsmith96 Thanks for your question. In brief, when I first moved to Thailand in 2003, I was working remotely for my employer, although they limited my time abroad to 6 months. Eventually I picked up local contracting work that I put though my own business, or which was, let's say, an ad-hoc arrangement. I was mostly doing IT-type work, electronics training, English teaching for companies and private clients, and picking up remote contracts. I built the occasional website too. These days, this is called being a "digital nomad". What you end up doing depends on your skills and interests - but having some sort of online business, remote working skill, or being able to pick up high-end work locally is key. I've met people in Thailand who took a different approach though. One guy I knew took two jobs for five years to pay off his mortgage in UK. He then rented it out, and it easily funds his lifestyle in Thailand. It does help to talk with others who've done what you want to do. Be careful though - there are a lot of shysters out there. Good luck!
@@Mindsmith96 It helps if you own a property or more in the UK which you could possibly rent out and live on the proceeds somewhere cheap like Sri Lanka?
A significant thing to consider when you live abroad is not to pay foreigner prices for accomodation or services. This will cancel out any cost savings as well as increase prices for the locals and everyone else.
It helps to have a decent Honours STEM Degree. An appropriate higher Degree will also be very useful, since even in the current pretty dismal times, a UK University education is still well-regarded in very many overseas countries, especially Commonwealth members (Canada, Australia, NZ). Interestingly Russia is offering significantly streamlined residency applications. Russia is also by far the most rapidly expanding economy in the Eurozone, and the people are surprisingly friendly and very approachable. The reality is rather different to the Western miasma of disinformation, and a visit will really open your eyes. The language IS difficult, but there are a lot of people there willing to help a LOT.
I'm pretty old now (65), and I left the UK some 22 years ago to live in south-east Asia. I teach many young students and I previously started successful IT businesses in the UK. I advice anyone who wants to leave the UK and work or run a business in another country to carefully check on the visa rules, work permit rules and restricted profession rules of your destination country. In other words, most countries require you to have a visa to live in that country. Many visa types prohibit your working (including online work). In some countries, there is a list of professions that are forbidden to foreigners. You might have some great online business, but doing that business in certain countries will see you arrested, fined and deported! So check very carefully what are the employment rules in your destination country!
Teaching English is also a viable option for those who are interested in working with kids or teens although most Asian countries require degrees. Cambodia is the exception. You can also teach English online and live nomadically. I have several Vietnamese and Chinese clients even though I'm based in the Philippines.
@@Answersonapostcard Yes but with that sort of job, there will always be a ceiling for how much you can earn. For the average person, its just not enough to meaningfully invest, save for retirement or buy a home of your own. You might be able to exist abroad but thats pretty much it. You are essentially living day to day. Can't see that being much fun when you get older and have responsibilities other than yourself. Besides, our prioitires change as we get older and seek different lifestyles. Would you really want to be an "iTalki" teacher forever? I doubt it.
@@zd12101 How much do you need? Life isn't about earning tons of money all the time. Its about enjoying life. In a developing country you can get by with a lot less money than in the UK, which is too expensive now and the weather and food is crap.
A huge part of the problem is men living lives that feel meaningless and men not having a masculine mentor to help them develop actual skills. Running to thailand wont do that.
Utter crud. 'Masculine mentors', i.e old men, are the one's who have created the situation as they've got the moolah and don't want to lose their crown. Men compete with each other for status. Fathers often feel threatened by sons and don't really want to help them. Read Oedipus. Most of this comes down to cash and young men working a McJob just to pay someone else's mortgage. Gals aren't impressed by that
Meaning is meaningless. That's a boys game. Mentors won't help when they're worse than the younger men. Men just need to read books and talk to people and keep on keeping on. Nothing is going to be handed to them.
Get a working holiday visa for Australia, then once you are there you can get another year. All English people under 30 should do it. Don’t let worrying about leaving your friends and family behind, they’ll all still be there if you decide to come back.

@@Heaven-dy9lj Congratulations on making the move. There are good days and bad days everywhere. YOLO and all that. At least you will have LIVED and won't be plagued by WHAT-IFs 👏. There's always "going back with your tail between your legs" until you get over the HUMP and are better off in the system where you are rather than "back home". In my 30s I was amazed how everything seemed possible and positive where we were in France 🇫🇷 and how depressing everything was where I grew up 🇬🇧. "Abroad" is a clean slate and each individual will make of it what they can.
Same story here. Moved to Thailand in 2003 and no regrets. I do think that most of the people who think UK is great, are confusing quality of life with house prices. Many who think UK is wonderful have never been anywhere else, so have no idea how low the quality of life has fallen...
Better advice. Pick the hardest subject that you can do which is in demand (to reduce the number of competitors). Get the needed entry qualifications, work hard, be mobile and get ahead by changing your job rather than expecting to get ahead in the same company. If you do this then you can save yourself, nobody else can or wants to. Alternatively you could spend your time saying how unfair everything is which is a lot easier but solves nothing. Working overseas if the pay is good works too but may be in an unhospitable area.
@@Answersonapostcard I dont think its people lacking the nerve to do it that is the problem, its the people who do it but don't have a solid plan in place. I witnessed so many people come out here to australia but they were completley winging it. A majority of them soon discovered that their qualifications and experience were not enough to get the sponsorship they wanted for a local role or couldnt earn enough to sustain themselves with an "online" position either. I guess my point is that while working abroad can be great, there are far too many impressionable kids out there who get sucked in by influencers and think the process is a piece of piss.
As economic decline in Germany goes on more and more Germans share the fate of young Brits. Germans too have elected bad politicians and have got bad governments.

If I were a young man in UK or the Republic of Ireland, I would be leaving ASAP. The only way a young man will be able to help himself and his family is to move somewhere much larger than either island. Continental Europe is not much better. Being a Brit going to Australia or Canada would be doable for many Brits.
But the UK's economy is almost as big as Australia's and Canada's combined, and will be larger in the next decade. So how is the UK not "big enough" when it's bigger than either?
If you try to stop it by force you will lose all of your income and/or go to prison. This is not a simple war, it is a complex one, and left-wingers hold all the power through their control of the institutions.

Once you get your PR Visa, you should immediately embark on the full citizenship programme, which is now 10 years even for Commonwealth citizens. Citizenship allows employment in many additional areas (Police, Defence Forces, many Civil Research Programmes), and is well worth the effort.

There are tens of millions people who already doing digital "job" all across the world. If you want to immigrate (move) to other country, you need to have somebody there to help you in the first five months, otherwise you will end up in tent completely broke.

I get it, moving overseas and getting out of the ratrace in England is an exciting propsect but its a much harder process than this video makes it out to be.
So you moved to Kenya but only converse with those of British decent. 😂 but when ppl move to the UK and stay in their communities its a problem. Its the same mentality
And in the case of Spain? Is Spain in the same situation as the United Kingdom, that young people need to leave their country to have a better life? I say this because I live in Spain.
Also the Spanish people that I know are generally planning on returning to Spain in a few years, to be closer to their families, for the better food, weather and culture that Spain has to offer. The Spanish people who stay in the UK are generally married in to a British family living here. Sure, UK wages can be higher but so is the cost of living and Winters can be long and miserable here, with days or weeks spent without any sunlight. I would rather have less money but be living in Spain as you can't put a price on health. Having said this, do come over to the UK, spend a couple of years here and experience it for yourself.
As a straight wight Brit - if I was "pRiViLeGeD" growing up in the UK, I wouldn't have moved to Thailand a decade ago (and never returned). Not that I'm privileged here either, citizenship is near impossible to get. At least I don't have to deal with the BBC propaganda and the NPCs that repeat it all day.
The fact you were able to move to Thailand is proof that you're privileged. A Thai could not easily move to the UK. There aren't many countries they could move to that are poorer. Being born in a rich western country is a massive stroke of luck that puts you far ahead with far more opportunities than literally billions and billions of other human beings.
I disagree with this escapism mentality. Running away will never fix things. Especially the younger generation leaving. The best course of action is to get young people to aspire to positions of power where they can influence things and move them to the right direction. This is not the easy solution but it's the only way to really change things. Running away isn't the brave thing to do.
Meaningful change takes decades. Sure you might not get considered "brave" but you might end up with a better quality of life elsewhere. Doesnt always work out for some but it does for others.
Definitley best to travel when you are younger if you can. If you have at least a few years work experience in a decent industry, you should be able to get a temporary work visa, to give you a taster of life overseas. Could be worth exploring?

@@DGDDice The online study sounds great but you are going to need some work experience sooner rather than later. Have you considered getting in touch with recruiters?

I’m 100% with you. Anyone who’s young with aspirations for life is better off elsewhere. I’m not that young anymore. Moved back to the UK in 2017. We have no children or pets, just 2 working adults. Our combine income is 90k living in south west and own our house. We need careful budgeting each month in order for us to save. We are grateful for the life we have here in the UK considering the median household income is just about 33-34k. But all the hard work is just not worth it. What’s the point of moving up taking more responsibilities while paying 40% tax. The city we live in used to be a part city quite hipster has turned into a junkie shithole: stabbing, anti social behaviour, London cost of living without the London wage. Also the general vibe is miserable with pessimistic outlook on life. Relocation is easier if we don’t have children or own a house. I’ve always want to get out since 2018. It’s until there’s lots of redundancies in my company and I walked on the street and saw at least 2 human turds on the street (with tissues stick on it) one day I had enough. We are moving to either Malaysia, Singapore or Hong Kong. I’m in Thailand on holiday now and the standard of living is so much better than the turd town we live in. At least the streets are very clean and people look after public facilities. Explore the world when you are young. It’s easier and totally worth it.
Where in the UK are you? Its true that wages have been flat for the last 15 years which is frustrating. I also dont find the the negativity and self deprication thats almost encouraged in British society to be helpful either. That said, its easier to asume that moving abroad will solve all your problems when you are on holiday haha. Can you easily secure work in Malaysia, Singapore or Hong Kong? Do you have family there?
@@zd12101 there’s a second home visa in Malaysia we are fortune to be able to apply for it. My partner has a Singapore passport and getting a work sponsorship in Hong Kong is fairly easy once you have the skills they need - IT/ finance. I had a job offer in HK last year that offered work visa but I wasn’t ready for relocation but it’s good to know such option is available. I’ve lived in HK and Singapore in the past and my parents have retired in Malaysia. Stabbing is very very rare in HK or Singapore. The crime rate in those places are much lower compared to the UK but much higher HDI ( human development index), GNI and GDP per capita are significantly higher. Singapore and HK both are the top 5 countries in terms of HDI. While UK is 19th or 20th.
@@zd12101 also the crab bucket mentality is just unbearable. Britons don’t really see the point of progressing which is understandable but there’s a level of envious or hatred towards people who are willing to put in the hardwork to advance their career. Such a weird mentality.
As an older man in my sixties, I wish young men would stop whinging about everything. Look you’ve been brought up in the best of times with your holidays abroad and your every little need attended to. Me and my brothers and sisters never even had fish and chips from a chip shop. It’s pathetic to listen to you. Put up and shut up. You do however have my complete sympathies where the affordability of living is concerned in the UK. Clearly wages are pathetically mismatched with the affordability of Life, and for that reason alone, I’d get out if you can. If you have a trade, go to Oz, NZ or America but not to the big cities where life is also unaffordable. Not everyone can become a digital nomad as this guy urges.
Ive never heard of that. But Thais come to uk for a number of reasons: 1) they cannot afford private healthcare and want NHS 2) quality universities 3) more advanced experience in labour market 3) they appreciate cooler weather
@@FreedomPhilosophyTV Yes people like this guy who made the video go to Thailand because it's cheap and they can live like a king, and they bash the UK for being so awful. Yet the reality is, almost any random Thai person you ask would rather live in the UK because they would be wealthier, healthier, and happier. Being born British is one of the biggest wins you can have in life. If you were born Thai, there aren't really any poorer tropical countries you can move to. You have less options. Being born in the UK gives people options and I wish they would appreciate that more. While hating on the UK, just stop and think for a moment how you're even in such a privileged position that getting a digital job and moving abroad is even a POSSIBILITY. Because for billions of people it's not.
Every country is bad if you are poor. Thai people don't have a lot of purchasing power in thailand, hence they move to the uk. If they had money they would never step foot in the uk
@@FreedomPhilosophyTV is it what YOU think or have you spoken to a Thai person? I’m in Thailand right now and one of my relatives is married to a local in Chiang Rai. Trust me they don’t want the miserable UK weather. They got free healthcare as a Thai local. Don’t believe in the UK propaganda that Uk is the only country that offers free healthcare. Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Korea, Thailand, Taiwan all got free healthcare and their healthcare is a lot more accessible and better quality healthcare than UK. Getting a GP appointment is almost impossible unless someone’s life is at risk in the uk. EDIT- The wages in east asia countries such as Singapore and Hong Kong are a lot higher with much lower income tax than UK so Thai people might as well move to those countries than the UK. Britons still think they are cash cow. So bizarre.
Some decent advice. But truth to tell, there's no easy way for young Brits with no particular skills to emigrate from the British Isles. Also, the digital nomad gig will only last as long as the grid and the internet are up and running and it seems the days for this are numbered. Still, good video, and people have to start somewhere. Another thing is that as Britain descends ever further into third world status and the efflux of young Brits increases, then expect to be treated like third-worlders -- i.e., visa and residence permit restrictions. The British passport will lose its lustre. Correction -- it is losing its lustre.
Agree with this. In reality, you still need an education, skills and experience in a decent career to make it work. Being a digital nomad / tiktoker / influencer type will only last so long...
I once thought Canada was the perfect place to move to but from the perspective of a then young backpacker. Now I'm older, I'm not so convinced. Still better than England? Or just different problems?
I am planning to leave this country as well after I am able to buy a property abroad and at the start of my early 30s as then I won't have any more responsibility here left.
If you are going to take the plunge and leave for say a country like Thailand, bring plenty of savings as things are not as cheap here as it used to be. I've been here since 2016 started out teaching like most people. Bring your degree with you, you may need it.
This is hilarious I want to make the same video about helping people to leave the state of New York... which strives to copy England at every opportunity
Americans, and I am one, don't differentiate between accents because we don't hear enough of them, and see enough Brits, to learn the distinctions. And we don't suffer most of the Brit class distinctions. I hear some of those accents, but I don't associate them with class differences.
I live in the USA--midwest and from your looks I would guess I'm at least twice your age. 61. Things are shit here too and the worst is that things were much better in the 1990s for me. I have an English degree--writing--and I was a CNC machinist. Back then, I could trip on the sidewalk and fall into a decent job. I worked at Boeing until 9/11 and the world hasn't been the same since. Infrastructure is going to hell. Me and my younger son (27) want to go elsewhere also.
Being a GenX man who moved from the UK a fair few years ago I would say learn a trade or physical skill alomg with a second language. The whole of the western world is short of builders, plumbers, electricians, truck drivers and so on. If the market is saturated with digital workers it will become badly paid and very difficult to have any success in. Also the higher the decline in the skills based markets, the higher the demand and the wage rises. Also there will not be products, buildings industrial or domestic or transport for the products. You can't have a world that is full of people trying to make a living in the internet.
its not the rise of people having internet based jobs thats the issue, its the rise of people who make it their job to tell others to get an internet job, under the guise of a "life coach".
@@JimP-tc7gg So the average age of truck drivers across Europe is 47 with over a 3rd being over 55 and less than 5% being under 25.

I've heard about people moving to Thailand, but it might be too far a cultural shift for many who are used to European society. Personally, I wouldn’t consider moving there due to the significant cultural differences. Even though flats and food might be cheaper in Thailand, the overall cost of living can be similar to Eastern European countries like Bulgaria. In Bulgaria, you can also benefit from lower living costs, reduced taxes, and potentially better business opportunities.
Things are cheaper for a reason.Thailands government is shit!

I'm just going to throw this out there. I'm in the USA. There is opportunity in the skilled trades. If you can establish character and work ethic, perhaps you could find a sponsor in the US in an apprentiship program. Think: electrician, plumber, HVAC, masonry, building, general construction or construction management. Reasonable intelligence and a British accent will get you a long way in getting started here. All you need is that first job and ambition. These are decent paying jobs that will allow you to develop the skills to start your own business, and in the USA, business ownership is the common way to wealth. We don't have the same class system you are saddled with.
I’m an older man who wants to leave Los Angeles. I’m too old to deal with the ‘woke’ sh@t show taking over here and the rest of the country. There is no place for me here. It’s extreme views and ideas that are ruining my home here. There are no middle ground areas anymore and ignorance is being allowed to reign. Speaking freely is frowned upon. Cray times
Just leave LA. LA and the UK are kinda the same actually in terms of crime and drug addicts
Well please don't come to the UK because we have a diverse and tolerant society, and don't want to import yank bigotry.
Woke is western society. It's equality, rights, equitable economy, respect, tolerance. If you're not on board with your own society and against everyone else in it, it's you that's singling yourself out, and contributing to the detriments and collapse of society. Basically you just need to grow up, man up, and stop being such an ignorant, intolerant prick. Everything would turn around for you and for society if YOU would be a real man and grow tf up. Want everything handed to you by women. Want the right to punch gays and Muslims or whatever. Stand for something greater than yourself, protect the weak, grow a spine, especially a moral spine. Then you'll finally have the courage to face yourself and realize you're the problem.
Having lived in Orange County for a while .... you have it way better there. Better weather, professionals can literally earn big money etc. People in the UK and Europe get thrown in jail for making facebook posts so it's worse for freedom of speech.

The most depressing thing ever reading so many people talking they got out and left England. Gentlemen this is our country and for 1000 years all we have done is fight to keep it ours.
its amusing that you still think its ours when our capital city is mostly foreign owned.
@@zd12101 I like diversity, But when you are the minority in your own capital you know that people in charge have really screwed up.
@@MrPerryUK It happens a lot in many capital cities. Overseas investors are the only ones who can afford the higher price tags.
It's questionable whether indigenous Brits are even the majority any more. All our major cities are stuffed full of immigrants, many of whom are of questionable immigration status, in illegal sublets and working cash in hand jobs, so don't appear on the census. There were 50 million people living in the UK when WW2 ended, do you really think there are only 66 million now? Back in 2007 our real population was already approaching 80 million based on food consumption data. It's probably 90 million or more by now. Go into any of our major cities and see how packed with foreigners they are. Even the white people you see mostly speak Eastern European languages when they talk. The sad truth is we're probably already in the minority.
@@zd12101 It's not over yet. We can still fix things. Don't run away.
Sri Lanka is affordable. Rents are low and palm trees grow A month by the sea can be as little as 100Euro a month, eating out for less than 2 euro if you stay away from touristy places.
There are places in Thailand (and elsewhere) like that. I was staying in an apartment in Rayong, with own swimming pool, private beach (always clean) on the doorstep, gym, mini-mart, 24-hour security, cleaner, and 40 Mbps wifi for $150/month. Yes, I had an electricity bill on top of that (typically $20!), but try getting that, (and the great weather and warm sea) in UK for $150/month!! :)
@@CaldonianDude how do earn a living there as jobs are lower paying there
@@Mindsmith96 Thanks for your question. In brief, when I first moved to Thailand in 2003, I was working remotely for my employer, although they limited my time abroad to 6 months. Eventually I picked up local contracting work that I put though my own business, or which was, let's say, an ad-hoc arrangement. I was mostly doing IT-type work, electronics training, English teaching for companies and private clients, and picking up remote contracts. I built the occasional website too. These days, this is called being a "digital nomad". What you end up doing depends on your skills and interests - but having some sort of online business, remote working skill, or being able to pick up high-end work locally is key. I've met people in Thailand who took a different approach though. One guy I knew took two jobs for five years to pay off his mortgage in UK. He then rented it out, and it easily funds his lifestyle in Thailand. It does help to talk with others who've done what you want to do. Be careful though - there are a lot of shysters out there. Good luck!
@@Mindsmith96 It helps if you own a property or more in the UK which you could possibly rent out and live on the proceeds somewhere cheap like Sri Lanka?
A significant thing to consider when you live abroad is not to pay foreigner prices for accomodation or services. This will cancel out any cost savings as well as increase prices for the locals and everyone else.
It helps to have a decent Honours STEM Degree. An appropriate higher Degree will also be very useful, since even in the current pretty dismal times, a UK University education is still well-regarded in very many overseas countries, especially Commonwealth members (Canada, Australia, NZ).
Interestingly Russia is offering significantly streamlined residency applications. Russia is also by far the most rapidly expanding economy in the Eurozone, and the people are surprisingly friendly and very approachable. The reality is rather different to the Western miasma of disinformation, and a visit will really open your eyes. The language IS difficult, but there are a lot of people there willing to help a LOT.
I'm pretty old now (65), and I left the UK some 22 years ago to live in south-east Asia. I teach many young students and I previously started successful IT businesses in the UK. I advice anyone who wants to leave the UK and work or run a business in another country to carefully check on the visa rules, work permit rules and restricted profession rules of your destination country. In other words, most countries require you to have a visa to live in that country. Many visa types prohibit your working (including online work). In some countries, there is a list of professions that are forbidden to foreigners. You might have some great online business, but doing that business in certain countries will see you arrested, fined and deported! So check very carefully what are the employment rules in your destination country!
Teaching English is also a viable option for those who are interested in working with kids or teens although most Asian countries require degrees. Cambodia is the exception.
You can also teach English online and live nomadically. I have several Vietnamese and Chinese clients even though I'm based in the Philippines.
Its an option yes and great when you are young but in reality, its not sustainable.
@@zd12101 Define "Young" and there are plenty of older iTalki teachers who are sustaining themselves abroad.
@@Answersonapostcard Yes but with that sort of job, there will always be a ceiling for how much you can earn. For the average person, its just not enough to meaningfully invest, save for retirement or buy a home of your own.
You might be able to exist abroad but thats pretty much it. You are essentially living day to day. Can't see that being much fun when you get older and have responsibilities other than yourself.
Besides, our prioitires change as we get older and seek different lifestyles. Would you really want to be an "iTalki" teacher forever? I doubt it.
@@zd12101 How much do you need? Life isn't about earning tons of money all the time. Its about enjoying life. In a developing country you can get by with a lot less money than in the UK, which is too expensive now and the weather and food is crap.
@@Answersonapostcard Very valid. Also many move on to international schools, starting their own businesses or working online like with iTalki
A huge part of the problem is men living lives that feel meaningless and men not having a masculine mentor to help them develop actual skills. Running to thailand wont do that.
stop being negative. it's about getting out in the world and becoming a man.
@@Gold.Circle.The West is part of the world. If you can't be a man here, you won't magically turn into a man anywhere else.
@@LalaDepala_00 well said.
Utter crud. 'Masculine mentors', i.e old men, are the one's who have created the situation as they've got the moolah and don't want to lose their crown. Men compete with each other for status. Fathers often feel threatened by sons and don't really want to help them. Read Oedipus. Most of this comes down to cash and young men working a McJob just to pay someone else's mortgage. Gals aren't impressed by that
Meaning is meaningless. That's a boys game. Mentors won't help when they're worse than the younger men. Men just need to read books and talk to people and keep on keeping on. Nothing is going to be handed to them.
Get a working holiday visa for Australia, then once you are there you can get another year. All English people under 30 should do it. Don’t let worrying about leaving your friends and family behind, they’ll all still be there if you decide to come back.

"Abroad" is a clean slate and each individual will make of it what they can.
Same story here. Moved to Thailand in 2003 and no regrets. I do think that most of the people who think UK is great, are confusing quality of life with house prices. Many who think UK is wonderful have never been anywhere else, so have no idea how low the quality of life has fallen...

Better advice. Pick the hardest subject that you can do which is in demand (to reduce the number of competitors). Get the needed entry qualifications, work hard, be mobile and get ahead by changing your job rather than expecting to get ahead in the same company. If you do this then you can save yourself, nobody else can or wants to. Alternatively you could spend your time saying how unfair everything is which is a lot easier but solves nothing. Working overseas if the pay is good works too but may be in an unhospitable area.
Solid advice. Much better than believing that moving abroad in itself will solve all your problems.
@@zd12101 Its not claiming to, but its an option for those who have the bottle. Which is not many as most people are cowards.
@@Answersonapostcard I dont think its people lacking the nerve to do it that is the problem, its the people who do it but don't have a solid plan in place.
I witnessed so many people come out here to australia but they were completley winging it.
A majority of them soon discovered that their qualifications and experience were not enough to get the sponsorship they wanted for a local role or couldnt earn enough to sustain themselves with an "online" position either.
I guess my point is that while working abroad can be great, there are far too many impressionable kids out there who get sucked in by influencers and think the process is a piece of piss.
As economic decline in Germany goes on more and more Germans share the fate of young Brits. Germans too have elected bad politicians and have got bad governments.

@@zd12101 Yes, there is a housing crisis in Germany. Food prices have risen very much. Other prices for basic needs, too. Public traffic is less reliable. Public spaces and infrastructures are more and more neglected (more waste and vandalism).

Once you get your PR Visa, you should immediately embark on the full citizenship programme, which is now 10 years even for Commonwealth citizens. Citizenship allows employment in many additional areas (Police, Defence Forces, many Civil Research Programmes), and is well worth the effort.

the demand is there, just not the housing for workers to actualy live in.
There are tens of millions people who already doing digital "job" all across the world. If you want to immigrate (move) to other country, you need to have somebody there to help you in the first five months, otherwise you will end up in tent completely broke.

people move abroad for higher wages. But these people are usually doing unskilled jobs that don't pay much more in the UK than in Spain.
Also the Spanish people that I know are generally planning on returning to Spain in a few years, to be closer to their families, for the better food, weather and culture that Spain has to offer. The Spanish people who stay in the UK are generally married in to a British family living here. Sure, UK wages can be higher but so is the cost of living and Winters can be long and miserable here, with days or weeks spent without any sunlight. I would rather have less money but be living in Spain as you can't put a price on health. Having said this, do come over to the UK, spend a couple of years here and experience it for yourself.

Online fitness, health and coaching. Especially mental health coaching just being a motivator ect. Do online fitness classes too. A membership system would be good for you. 👍 then when your established you can continue that but also work in person too. Good luck bro.
I’m 100% with you. Anyone who’s young with aspirations for life is better off elsewhere. I’m not that young anymore. Moved back to the UK in 2017. We have no children or pets, just 2 working adults. Our combine income is 90k living in south west and own our house. We need careful budgeting each month in order for us to save. We are grateful for the life we have here in the UK considering the median household income is just about 33-34k. But all the hard work is just not worth it. What’s the point of moving up taking more responsibilities while paying 40% tax. The city we live in used to be a part city quite hipster has turned into a junkie shithole: stabbing, anti social behaviour, London cost of living without the London wage. Also the general vibe is miserable with pessimistic outlook on life. Relocation is easier if we don’t have children or own a house. I’ve always want to get out since 2018. It’s until there’s lots of redundancies in my company and I walked on the street and saw at least 2 human turds on the street (with tissues stick on it) one day I had enough. We are moving to either Malaysia, Singapore or Hong Kong. I’m in Thailand on holiday now and the standard of living is so much better than the turd town we live in. At least the streets are very clean and people look after public facilities. Explore the world when you are young. It’s easier and totally worth it.
Where in the UK are you? Its true that wages have been flat for the last 15 years which is frustrating. I also dont find the the negativity and self deprication thats almost encouraged in British society to be helpful either. That said, its easier to asume that moving abroad will solve all your problems when you are on holiday haha. Can you easily secure work in Malaysia, Singapore or Hong Kong? Do you have family there?
@@zd12101 there’s a second home visa in Malaysia we are fortune to be able to apply for it. My partner has a Singapore passport and getting a work sponsorship in Hong Kong is fairly easy once you have the skills they need - IT/ finance. I had a job offer in HK last year that offered work visa but I wasn’t ready for relocation but it’s good to know such option is available. I’ve lived in HK and Singapore in the past and my parents have retired in Malaysia. Stabbing is very very rare in HK or Singapore. The crime rate in those places are much lower compared to the UK but much higher HDI ( human development index), GNI and GDP per capita are significantly higher. Singapore and HK both are the top 5 countries in terms of HDI. While UK is 19th or 20th.
@@zd12101 also the crab bucket mentality is just unbearable. Britons don’t really see the point of progressing which is understandable but there’s a level of envious or hatred towards people who are willing to put in the hardwork to advance their career. Such a weird mentality.
As a woman I am also sick of the woke man bashing shit.
Of course. But notice that no one is encouraging white women to leave their home countries. Do you know why? You won’t like the answer.
As an older man in my sixties, I wish young men would stop whinging about everything. Look you’ve been brought up in the best of times with your holidays abroad and your every little need attended to. Me and my brothers and sisters never even had fish and chips from a chip shop. It’s pathetic to listen to you. Put up and shut up. You do however have my complete sympathies where the affordability of living is concerned in the UK. Clearly wages are pathetically mismatched with the affordability of Life, and for that reason alone, I’d get out if you can. If you have a trade, go to Oz, NZ or America but not to the big cities where life is also unaffordable. Not everyone can become a digital nomad as this guy urges.
I always tell them "Yes I am privileged to listen to your goddam lip!"
Literally hundreds of people from Thailand getting inside of lorries to come to the Uk
Ironically isn't it? They think that UK is a gold mine.
P.S. I know Thai people who left UK very disappointed.
Ive never heard of that. But Thais come to uk for a number of reasons:
1) they cannot afford private healthcare and want NHS
2) quality universities
3) more advanced experience in labour market
3) they appreciate cooler weather
@@FreedomPhilosophyTV Yes people like this guy who made the video go to Thailand because it's cheap and they can live like a king, and they bash the UK for being so awful. Yet the reality is, almost any random Thai person you ask would rather live in the UK because they would be wealthier, healthier, and happier. Being born British is one of the biggest wins you can have in life. If you were born Thai, there aren't really any poorer tropical countries you can move to. You have less options. Being born in the UK gives people options and I wish they would appreciate that more. While hating on the UK, just stop and think for a moment how you're even in such a privileged position that getting a digital job and moving abroad is even a POSSIBILITY. Because for billions of people it's not.
Every country is bad if you are poor. Thai people don't have a lot of purchasing power in thailand, hence they move to the uk. If they had money they would never step foot in the uk
@@FreedomPhilosophyTV is it what YOU think or have you spoken to a Thai person? I’m in Thailand right now and one of my relatives is married to a local in Chiang Rai. Trust me they don’t want the miserable UK weather. They got free healthcare as a Thai local. Don’t believe in the UK propaganda that Uk is the only country that offers free healthcare. Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Korea, Thailand, Taiwan all got free healthcare and their healthcare is a lot more accessible and better quality healthcare than UK. Getting a GP appointment is almost impossible unless someone’s life is at risk in the uk.
EDIT- The wages in east asia countries such as Singapore and Hong Kong are a lot higher with much lower income tax than UK so Thai people might as well move to those countries than the UK. Britons still think they are cash cow. So bizarre.
Solid advice - especially self-employment. I left the UK to live in Finland back in 2020. Stuff about it on my own YT channel
How about doing a video about saving the country from the government? We are watching our country being trashed.
Some decent advice. But truth to tell, there's no easy way for young Brits with no particular skills to emigrate from the British Isles. Also, the digital nomad gig will only last as long as the grid and the internet are up and running and it seems the days for this are numbered. Still, good video, and people have to start somewhere.
Another thing is that as Britain descends ever further into third world status and the efflux of young Brits increases, then expect to be treated like third-worlders -- i.e., visa and residence permit restrictions. The British passport will lose its lustre. Correction -- it is losing its lustre.
Agree with this. In reality, you still need an education, skills and experience in a decent career to make it work. Being a digital nomad / tiktoker / influencer type will only last so long...
@@zd12101 how long do you need?
It has lost its lustre in Europe. Thank Brexit for it...
The information we needed 🙏
left uk many years ago, now in canada; out of the frying pan, into the fire!
I once thought Canada was the perfect place to move to but from the perspective of a then young backpacker. Now I'm older, I'm not so convinced. Still better than England? Or just different problems?
Canada is the same or worse
How can you be a life coach when you have barely lived life yourself?
Telling people to just "get a digital job" isnt particuarly useful either. Certainly isnt sustainable over the long term as your primary income.
@@zd12101 A digital job allows you to work anywhere.
@@Answersonapostcard and your point is?
@@zd12101 you can work anywhere - i.e. you can leave the UK which is the whole point.
@@Answersonapostcard yes, but I said it wasn't sustainable over the long term as your primary income. Not for most people.
I am planning to leave this country as well after I am able to buy a property abroad and at the start of my early 30s as then I won't have any more responsibility here left.
If you can, definitley buy a property and have a job lined up before you leave. Makes life so much easier.
Imagine during WW2 if all the lads just ran away ....
Yh this isn't ww2. And ppl aren't being forced to fight for fear of being thrown in jail for deserting😂.
If you are going to take the plunge and leave for say a country like Thailand, bring plenty of savings as things are not as cheap here as it used to be. I've been here since 2016 started out teaching like most people.
Bring your degree with you, you may need it.
Out of interest, are you still in teaching? Were you able to level up your salary enough to the point where you can invest / save for a house etc?
No matter how hard it gets I will never leave my homeland!
That's bcs you're brainwashed
did you clap for the nhs at 8pm on thursdays? lol
@@Gold.Circle. the complete opposite you silly little sausage. You on the other hand…….
@@phased3941I’m brain washed? 😂😂😂😂 yeah you have no idea what you are even talking about.

Move to the cheapest part of the country. Rent a room for 6 months and work at a grocery store. So easy.
When family or friends ask what you're doing just lie. Life is not complicated.
What would that achieve?
@@unusedsub3003 two months in Thailand. Rinse and repeat. I've done it delivering pizza.
So inspiring 🤣
@@thaireetired75 it's bold in a way.
This is hilarious I want to make the same video about helping people to leave the state of New York... which strives to copy England at every opportunity
What is a little strange is that Americans do not differentiate between types of British accents.
Americans, and I am one, don't differentiate between accents because we don't hear enough of them, and see enough Brits, to learn the distinctions. And we don't suffer most of the Brit class distinctions. I hear some of those accents, but I don't associate them with class differences.
I live in the USA--midwest and from your looks I would guess I'm at least twice your age. 61. Things are shit here too and the worst is that things were much better in the 1990s for me. I have an English degree--writing--and I was a CNC machinist. Back then, I could trip on the sidewalk and fall into a decent job. I worked at Boeing until 9/11 and the world hasn't been the same since. Infrastructure is going to hell. Me and my younger son (27) want to go elsewhere also.
Being a GenX man who moved from the UK a fair few years ago I would say learn a trade or physical skill alomg with a second language.
The whole of the western world is short of builders, plumbers, electricians, truck drivers and so on.
If the market is saturated with digital workers it will become badly paid and very difficult to have any success in.
Also the higher the decline in the skills based markets, the higher the demand and the wage rises.
Also there will not be products, buildings industrial or domestic or transport for the products.
You can't have a world that is full of people trying to make a living in the internet.
its not the rise of people having internet based jobs thats the issue, its the rise of people who make it their job to tell others to get an internet job, under the guise of a "life coach".
@@JimP-tc7gg So the average age of truck drivers across Europe is 47 with over a 3rd being over 55 and less than 5% being under 25.
If you can't see a very fast approaching economic issue with this then ........ Well.
And this is just one example where youngsters are not filling gaps in highly essential employment fields.
@@alexpervanoglu7420 Its simply not an appealing job and there are jobs out there that are less physically demanding with better pay.
If these industries you speak of, like truck drivers want to attract younger people...they need to seriously increase the pay.
@@JimP-tc7gg You're 100% correct, however without hauliers could you explain to me how an economy runs.
@@alexpervanoglu7420 We get A.I drones to deliver everything!
Digital nomads and working from home are being replaced by AI, as machine learning is taking so many tech jobs, so not sure aspiring to be a digital nomad is correct advice in 2024.
what jobs specifically are being taken by A.I?
@@zd12101 I have given several answers but YT keeps deleting every comment I am making, so there no point to me conversing on here, sorry.

@@zd12101 well if they’re anything like their forefathers they build more accommodation and enhance society.
@@stephengoldsbury4338 I'm referring to the housing crisis in Australia. With a roughly 0.3% vancacy rate in the rental market alone, Its going to be tough. Younger people from the UK are also very unlikley to have the funds to come over and buy straight away.
@@zd12101 I know it won’t be easy, but anyone with British heritage has a connection and I feel it’s our duty to help, after all the Brits started us off we owe them.
@@stephengoldsbury4338 Its nice of you to have a positive outlook but the reality is that they will always be at the mercy of visas and the immigration system, which is never kind. I know, it took me over 7 years to become a citizen here.
Excuse me, are you saying it’s honky dory for women??
It's where this always goes yeah. In the peterson middleclass 1950s fantasy mindset. Add andrew hate the preaching kickboxer and stir.
All this zero sum thinking is a total pain.

suicide rates in this country are at any all time high. this is an important video.
Olly, good video mate...now do one for boomers like me! Thanks!
The question is I have been feeling this way for so long where do I move to
depends on how your Education, Work experience and how much money you have.
And thousands of replacements are coming in. Terrible situation
They're not replacements cus they have no job skills to acc work and replace anybody.
I have advised my children to leave the UK after they've finished their education. We'll leave too.
where to?
The litter and grime does my head in
I’ve been saying I wanna get out of Uk for the last 5 years. Snapped my tibia in a motorcycle accident taken three years and four operations to get it fixed properly now looking at jobs and how much everything has gone up I really don’t see a point only problem is I’m total rubbish at computers and all I got a mobile phone no clue where to start properly without someone here to physically show me I’m fucked
Arrange physical interviews with multiple recruiters in your local area and they can help with your job search. Made a massive difference for me anyway.
when im not in brighton im in thailand and philippines. might explore italy and buy a house with land
Why am i watching this I'm American
I will forever grateful to you,you changed my entire life and I will continue to preach on your behalf for the whole world to hear you saved me from huge financial debt with just a small investment, thank you Sophia
i don’t blame them
All digital remote work is shipped to India, you need to go to the trades, and build some money assets in shitty jobs, then build a business with money earned, influencer culture is so saturated and doesn't pay your bills, all gen zs, want to become an influencer now.
Certainly the case in the UK and the USA. By contrast, Chinese kids all want to be astronauts or engineers!
