I earn 50k in London and can barely afford to rent a 1 bedroom apartment.

How are people supposed to make it in this country? Wtf.

I was making that up north 5 years ago, it isn't a lot for London. Can you get a raise?

My parents are Jehovah's Witnesses. I stopped believing in their nonsense and according to Jdub rules I have to be shunned by Jdubs. So my parents shunned me. I don't have that option.

>>55542819
That was my rise.

>>55542819
How was rent then? Now it's a shit show. Zone 6 is now charging £1.5k pm for a small 1 bed apartment. My parents were renting a 3 bed for £1.2k before the bought their house in 2014. This is an absolute shit show.

>>55543037
If it was that easy anon. I'm learning Rust so I can work from home 24/7 for £80k.

Why don't you WFH somewhere that isn't an overpriced shithole?

Share a flat with people for a few years, retard
I lived in a 450 quid room in Hackney for a few years, it was worth it. I made much less than you. Stop whining

Because everywhere is overpriced, even kust outside London. Reading is cheaper but the journey will kill me. I also don't own a car because I thought of losing more money to it hurts. I want to clear my debts before I purchase one. I had to borrow a lot of money to survive the first year after being kicked out of my parent's house for being an unbeliever. I have £5k to go and should clear it in 2 years.

I did that already and I am not doing it again. Even if I save what will happen then? House prices are rising faster than I am able to earn. I would have lived in a shit hole for 2 years only to find out I still can't afford a house.

You already know what you need to do. Earn more, or move somewhere cheaper. Shrimple as.

Nice, I'm a software engineer. I like Rust but don't typically get to use it for work.

They are not. They are supposed to leave so that expats of all the former colonies move in expecting a Great Britain. They have been sold a lie.

I make $100k in America Midwest and barely can afford all of my bills. Medical bills, student loans, had to get a new washer and dryer so credit card debts. Food is fucking ridiculous. I don’t even know why I work anymore.
