Speaking as someone that has lived in London, I am quite impressed with the rent of your entire property and overal costs, especially for where you flat is located. I would have thought being so close to Wimbledon would be an expense. Could I suggest that you do a video on how shopping in different places will impact that £20 weekly spend on shopping e.g. Aldi vs Tesco vs M&S vs Waitrose... I also think a video on the more social free activities you can do would be nice, e.g. go to the park and picnic with mates or walk the streets and experience the upcoming talented musicians that play great music for free. Also the bus option for transportation if you use it at any point would be a nice fit for people who wanna save even more or see local areas. I am enjoying your videos even as someone who isn't in the field of accounts or finance.🇿🇲
Yeah!! Really excited to see it. I actually meant Wembley. I am looking to move back this summer, would love to meet and connect, will DM on insta. Love your content, keep soaring sis!!
You're paying a lot for rent, are you in the North. My biggest mistake when I moved to London was to pick an expensive area coz I wasn't familiar with the neighborhoods, I ended up living in hampstead. I have a friend in Wimbledon who pays about 500 he lives in a 3 bed commune. Im back in SA but built myself a lovely community of expats in London. Hit me up if you're keen and ill connect you.
Thank you so much Ntwanie, im at your previous firm, part of the cyber security (TA) division and im definitely planning move from South Africa any chance i get.
Its brilliant that you have a comfortable flat for your share of expenses. My son pays almost as much for a bedroom in someone's house! You can imagine his lack of freedom in the owners private home so good on you .
Very helpful video. There's a lot of extra costs you added that I haven't really seen in related cost videos. I'm actually thinking of renting place in the area you're living in so I was a little surprised when I saw that the cost for a two bedroom in a QL building is 1880 pounds, I usually see those valued at 2000 and above. How were you able to get such an offer, or does it have something to do with the apartment you chose?
Thank you for video, very informative. I’m also looking for a job in the IT space. My question, so do you know pay for things like funeral cover and maybe medical aid?
Another question is it possible to be in the UK but still be able to use your SA bank? For instance I have a bond with FNB would i still be able to pay for my bond while I’m that side?
Hey! I am hoping to emigrate from the Caribbean to the UK soon. On a work visa, are we allowed to run a small business or side hustle? Can I also run a business (remotely) whilst working in the UK?
Sorry please clarify this part for me. When you said if you get a job offer with a salary of 2500, did you mean for trainees or Newly qualified ca sa or a people on general🤣🤣
You pay SO much for data! I pay 14 pounds for 150G, still unlimited calls and texts. This is the norm from what I hear. 10 pounds for only 10G is horrible!
Converting these costs to Rand will give you a higher amount, rather try to deduct from the UK Market related salary.
Being able to spend less than 60% of your salary on essentials is a blessing! Glad you can live that life.
So grateful ❤️

the rental expense you incur gives me chest pains, but I have seen the apartment so I understand why.
Thank you for sharing the video!! I can see now that living in London is quite expensive.
Thanks for sharing. Love love you and your content

I live in north west London, Wembley so it is a bit pricey
@@NtwanieNgomane Wembley is one of the cheapest areas because there isnt much there! If wembley cost that now, you can move somewhere nicer for sure!!
Hey Ntwanie thank you so much for this video 😊
Hi Ntwanie😌😌I just have one request...could you please try tell us converted amounts (to the Rs obvs😂) next time you do "costs" videos!!!🙏🙏 Thanks😌
GBP 1 = ZAR 20, try and work with this exchange rate, it should give you a reasonable conversation.
Thank you so much Ntwanie, im at your previous firm, part of the cyber security (TA) division and im definitely planning move from South Africa any chance i get.

Hello
I just wanted to ask
What are the salaries for those doing their articles at the big four in the UK?
Thank you for video, very informative. I’m also looking for a job in the IT space. My question, so do you know pay for things like funeral cover and maybe medical aid?
This video was so informative! Thank you so much❤ Do you know the salaries of those doing articles in the UK?
Another question is it possible to be in the UK but still be able to use your SA bank? For instance I have a bond with FNB would i still be able to pay for my bond while I’m that side?
That’s why I am moving out of London, I can’t my even enjoy my money.
Hey! I am hoping to emigrate from the Caribbean to the UK soon. On a work visa, are we allowed to run a small business or side hustle? Can I also run a business (remotely) whilst working in the UK?
I paid £80 a week in High Wycombe for a ROOM in 2002!!! 😳
No ways!!! 😭😭😭😭😭 it 10 times that now
Oh but it sounded less from your calculations! Will need to listen again.
Great video very informative!! Do you go to the client’s premises ?
No.. only been once since i started
Why are you paying banking fees? Some current accounts charge but most don’t.
On investec you do
Sorry please clarify this part for me. When you said if you get a job offer with a salary of 2500, did you mean for trainees or Newly qualified ca sa or a people on general🤣🤣
Newly Qualifieds
How is the tax there…. What’s the range or percentage that South africans are taxed
Wow, it's expensive 😲
Hey Ntwanie, quick question, are you on secondment or is this like a permanent job?
Permanent Job
Wow data is so cheap🙌🏿
You pay SO much for data! I pay 14 pounds for 150G, still unlimited calls and texts. This is the norm from what I hear. 10 pounds for only 10G is horrible!
Shuuu 50% towards rent😾
💔💔
Do you think it would be possible for you to buy a car that side? The cost of living appears to be very high.
It is possible, but i dont need it, especially coz i live in the city and the public transport system is great.
Please convert the amounts in the next video right
