I was a commercial pilot in the UK- making 100k a year, but living in a big house, with big mortgage and 100k on my credit cards. Divine intervention occurred, and I went off to work in India, then Kazakhstan making twice or three times the money for the same job. I've ended up in Bulgaria, debt free after repaying everything. Only 'heart' thinking or family would support remaining in Scotland for me. Head thinking supports life in Bulgaria. Weather here compares very well with Scotland. I was on 270 GBP/ month for Council tax (10 years ago!)- it's 60 Euro a year here. We paid 50,000 Euro for our lovely, refurbished house in BG- it would be half a million where I used to live.
Same as myself, apart from in 2007 I was an aircraft engineer on £45-50k per year. I left it all behind at 47 moved to SE Asia, I was fortunate enough to have some rental properties and I traded the stock market. I am still here 18 years later with two wonderful teenage children, living a very good, safe and satisfying life on £2500-3k per month.
Of course, Britain is going to be up one day, I mean financially. There's always ups and downs with ecomony. As a Bulgarian having witnessed the transition from communism to capitalism I have seen many difficult days - enormous inflation: me and my mum went the shop one morning and the only thing we could buy with her whole salary was a small pack of butter. In dollars, her slaty was 3 USD. My parents had some savings before that inflation, and my dad had wisely decided to turn his savings into USD dollar. So we ended up with 800 USD. How did we survive? Well, we had a village near our town, there were fruit and vegetables, pigs, and chickens. We had plenty to eat. For the used to install the pechka /wood burner heating thing/ in the apartment. This is how the whole nation survived actually, because 85 % of the population before the Communism was doing farming and agriculture, and they all had homesteads in the villages. I still can't believe that anyone can die of hunger in the Western world. So we have seen better and worse days - the Americans have seen the Great Depression and it was a hopeless situation, but thrived afterward. But Britain is not gonna be the same in other respect - ethnically and culturally, and religiously. This is the worrying thing. So I shall stop here even though I dont care what I am called - far-right, racist or whatever.
The guy is right and so are you. The UK is knackered now unless you're a generational wealther. Two tier society of haves and have nots. Private landlords leeching off peasants. There is no hope for the hopeless.
Before the petrol "strikes", I always thought that collapse would take about 3 days, it took until the afternoon...like you said, sooo many people. The roads choked up instantly with petrol queues. On that first day I just left my car parked in a side street and ran to work who told us to turn up for as long as we could. By the time I had finished the 2 until 10pm shift, millions of people had emptied supermakets within hours. Racial lines started forming and NOT by the natives as petrol station owners put up signs saying only their people could purchase fuel, and this was BEFORE the horrifying process of mass immigrations had really started to take effect. As a life long studier of dystopian situations the petrol "strikes" were quite an eye opener.
I think the best thing for the UK would be for the government to go bankrupt. Then, whichever party is in charge, they would finally have to slash the bloated public sector and welfare state. Replace the horrendous NHS with a proper mixed system like the French have. But British politicians aren't quite as incompetent as the basket case countries, so it looks like the UK is doomed to suffer a slow and painful stagnation.
I’ve lived in Thailand, Iceland, and China, but each time I ended up returning to the UK. Since coming back in 2014, I’ve watched things deteriorate here, and now I feel like many other countries are catching up. It seems like the right time to move again. Financially, I’m in a much better position now, but I’m feeling burnt out from renovating my house. I keep pushing through because I want to leave next year. I hope to find somewhere that feels right. My heart is set on Europe, as I found it hard to adapt to the long-term cultural differences in Asia, even though it was fine for a while. Not having to work is a big plus, and I’m just looking for a place I can truly call home.
We are out...in our Mercedes Sprinter 100% off-grid 'Escape Pod' Campervan...The perfect freedom life for us...In Albania right now 'Schengen busting'. Leave on ferry to Bari, drive to Palermo, then winter in Tunisia...Then?...Who knows?...and in that lays the shear joy of this Campervan life...Currently building an online biz...Best wishes to all. :)
Hello mate , good advice again my friend & yeah i`ve thought of nearly everything of how to get out of UK & what to do , UK IS GOING DOWN DOWN DOWN mate , cheers ..
Not necessarily "anywhere else is better", yes Brits have become poorer, downgraded standards of living, more towards the Eastern Europe level, people have becoming desperate. When it comes to purchasing power for an average person, the gap between Western and Eastern Europe isn't big anymore, but Eastern Europe isn't ahead still (although as they say, London is mainly driving the figures up for the UK). Don't just jump ship too quickly. Do your research first. I'm Polish, thinking about what to do, but I'm not jumping on the hype of how great it is in Poland for example. You can't rent a place and have a great life from one wage there. Although, yes, the situation in the UK is becoming desperate. More and more 30-50 yo living in HMOs, that becoming the standard of accommodation is shocking. It's not getting better, the opposite, that's for sure. It's not the case now of which country is great to live in anymore, but which country isn't terrible to live in, unless you've got plenty of money, can afford to buy a house cash, earn well above the average, nowhere is great.
A friend of mine bought a very cheap house in Spain many years ago. He used to spend the majority of the year in Spain, and come to England and work for 3 to 4 months. Apparently he earned enough to live on in that time, although he was working a fair few 6 and 7 day weeks! Might be the ideal compromise though?
@@klawlor3659 housing costs are the biggest issue, yes, if you can afford a house abroad cash and you can earn really good money while you're in the UK (£400/d sparky, bricklayer) that's doable.
@@user-Wojciech it does. But not very well enforced in many countries, especially if it doesn't affect a national of that country. I know a few women who have had children with men who have subsequently fled to elsewhere in Europe (and sometimes beyond). Getting the men tracked down, then getting them before a court is usually impossible.
Countries like Mauritiaus dont just allow anyone to enter, informal migrants to come and work cash in hand. I ve lived in several countries in Asia and this just isnt possible, legally. Also you earn about £7-10 per DAY if youre lucky, thats barely enough to survive. Thailand, the Phillipines the DAILY min wage is £8 and £6 respectively.
Where I live is like a posh part of the UK near Windsor but its crap even here why ? Because we keep getting very dangerous young migrant men coming here for work from other countries like Sudan , Albania , Nigeria , Syria , Iraq etc , this is why i dont go out at night , When i was in my teenage years like 20 years ago it was way safer to go to clubs and pubs etc but now i dont do that , I rarely even go to the local restaurants now but thats more down to cost as who is going to spend £50 for a meal and a drink ? Its insane. Best place in the UK is when you see the exit sign lol
I did a miserable winter in Ireland, living in a mobile home. -14°c on some nights and barely above freezing during the day. Wouldn't be in a rush to do that again!
You’re dead right Nick, fortunately we were the lucky ones & got out when we did. We had years of good work & a decent way of life. It can be a bit difficult here sometimes but it’s ok just silly beaurockracy.
There are unclaimed patches of land around Uk . It is an option to sit on them actively and within a few years claim it as your own. That’s a one brave option if you have nothing else.
Where can you earn good money now, excluding jobs where you need 4+ years of training and experience like a sparky or similar? They've killed the economy with CvD19 measures, wages are rubbish.

This is sad what is happening to UK and their people . West is dying to be honest.

Living in a caravan in 30°C in summer (Bulgaria/Europe) would be the least of my worries, - 5 - 0°C in winter would be more of my concern.
I did a miserable winter in Ireland, living in a mobile home. -14°c on some nights and barely above freezing during the day. Wouldn't be in a rush to do that again!

uk is good to earn money but not to live, and its gona get way way worse ✈️
is it good to earn money
Less and less jobs that pay well in the UK, it's a race to the bottom, problems in the economy piling up. Capitalism is a zero sum game.
Where can you earn good money now, excluding jobs where you need 4+ years of training and experience like a sparky or similar? They've killed the economy with CvD19 measures, wages are rubbish.
the money is lost on rents. so a waste of time.
Paraguay?
