To be depressed about how expensive but shyt the UK is

[OptimismvsRealism]

God it's expensive God it's shit

Please regale me with examples of how other places are also shit and it's not just here

I meant to ask but can’t edit my last post, where did you visit @Albaamy121?

Now to me the Cotswolds is paradise, I rent a lovely holiday cottage every year in a beautiful village that looks like a picture book, hoping to move there once I retire. It’s clear you dislike absolutely everything about this country you really should make every effort to leave, thousands do it each year so even though it’s harder now it’s certainly not impossible, it can’t be healthy living somewhere you despise.

we're all paying for the baby boomers mistakes in life

WTF does this even mean?

I'm a boomer, still renting, single mother, blah blah. We were the ones who were told we could retire at 60 before the rug was pulled out from under us.
I had a Saturday job at the age of 14.

We all started out in bedsits. None of this buying a house in your 20's. There wasn't even minimum wages in those days.

Life is change. Every generation has their own troubles. So does every country.

I'm blessed I don't live in a war zone. --I have though - in UK!!
My parents went through WW2. Their generation also rebuilt the whole shebang. Giving YOU a better life now.

I asked that question hours ago - answer came there none.

^

But a lot of people did??

I do sometimes think my parents personify the whole 'boomer' mentality, but instead of having a holiday they bought a terraced house. Then they saved up (by stopping smoking!) and bought a detached house.

I do realise that it is simpler if you are double income though

Off you go then

Where to?

Ireland?

Are you Irish?

And yet it was the Uk that offered them a haven in a time of war, gave them a home and offered safety. If it’s really that shite they can always pop off home and dodge the bombs.

There is negativity for a reason- dreadful health system with eye watering wait times, sewage in our rivers and seas, horrendous unaffordable housing, shite education system, struggling unprotected youth, dreadful cost of living ….. the list is endless. You can’t even leave now thanks to Brexit.

Albaamy said they liked Bath, do you allow them to live there?

Yet another "avocado toast". No one in our family ever smoked but we will never be able to buy a house 😂

I’m a fully grown adult thanks, so you can quit with your silly remarks and it works the other way as well, posters are allowed to praise the country they live in, their experience is just as valid as the negative posters.

Well if the colour of the stone meets their approval …..but then again there are quite a lot of terraced houses, it’s a difficult conundrum for sure.

They want to go back ASAP as it's miserable here - crap houses, horrendously expensive heating etc.
They can't go right now only because men will be sent to die which they are not very keen on.
I find it rather amusing that war refugees pity the Brits.
Their area has never been bombed as it's "Polish part" of the country.

Whereabouts is this? It's not that amusing tbf

Someone has taken them into their home after all

You didn't answer my question - are you Irish?

I have another question - are you the same poster as Albaamy121?

They are renting, not living in someone else's home.
"Amusing" is sarcasm.

Do you feel you have the ability to make a life work well in a new country? Look at the skills you could acquire and go for it
