In not planning on moving to be murdered though ? 
 

it’s about as relevant as finding out what the time delay is like on the traffic lights , “oohhh the uk is quicker , you have 10 more seconds of your journey to work”

the facts you used are irrelevant  

So what are you planning on moving for, explain. And if you are moving, are you claiming that yours and your families safety isn't one of the leading priorities?

And yet it's still a better standard of life and with more disposable income than the places you are talking about in Europe.

Is it ? lol

I’d say just being able to live a life is most peoples priority…..that’s looks like different things to different people.

Well yeah, better health care, better infrastructure, better job prospects, more disposable income, greater life expectancy, etc.

[WILF 50,234]

Here’s a thing and I’m sure anyone who has run a business will tell you the same…..maybe 20% of your customers are 99% of your problems !

So, you get rid of those 20% and, yes, you are that 20% of clients poorer BUT…..you solved 99% of your stress and aggro and your life is better.

Same applies to moving, you may not be earning a few grand a week anymore but by f**k your living like an emperor….freedom and time to spend how you want with who you want…you may not have a brand new car on the drive but who the f**k needs one if things like that ain’t important to you ?

Agree, but let's look at Canada & New Zealand, the UK offers better housing affordability than both relative to wages, so great, that living means you have to work longer hours on average and take longer to pay off your house.

Better healthcare !, more disposable income, better job prospects (if you like earning £12 an hour 20 hours a week !), better infrastructure ! lol……have you thought about doing stand up full time ? lol

Then don’t go to those places, go somewhere else ? Easy innit!

I've said for a long while now that all i want from money is to buy more time.. 

I think i could have all the time in the world, if I cashed in here and moved, we have talked about it a lot... I think where we live in the country we are very lucky in many aspects, but it's changing pretty quickly and I've travelled around with work more than enough to know this bubble will eventually burst..

I dont know where we'd go, it was always Ireland years ago through my family ties etc, but I'm.not sure anymore about that..

Most places in central Europe you'd be living mortgage free on what you can pull out of your house here, od keep a place or 2 here rented out and live off that, would be a bit of security for the future as well...

Pillow talk is one thing, getting off your ass and doing something is another thing completely

A lot of this stuff is a frame of mind thing too. There’s people earning £40k a year and spending £45k a year and they feel like millionaires, everything on finance and credit card have all the pictures to prove they’ve really made it. Once something is 3/4 paid the bank will give them more and it’s probably all rosey until the day you can’t earn the £40k and the pension doesn’t cover it, no saving so then the banks game has really paid off they’ll take your house. It all depends how your reared I was in a house where once I had reached my mid 20s I had bought a house and was out making my own way for years didn’t really think about money I just always had abit there from one thing or another. My late father had built up quiet abit of property around NW London and would of died a well off man but he never lived that life I remember we stopped in a shop one time for a cup of tea and he was perplexed at us paying £2.50 for a cup of tea when we were going to be home in an hour.. he was up every day at 6am and didn’t come in until 9 right up until he died my point being he would of hit us a slap for buying a £350k house or a £50k jeep and as for a holiday ffs.. quality of life can only be paid for so much the rest is what your happy with and the people around you.. I own two houses just off Wembley high street they are worth far more than my current house and bit of ground is worth but would I live in them no f***ing way the place is a slum yet if I put them up for sale you’d read the add thinking you were headed straight for a lovely spot

Lovely story, now back to reality. If you think a lad in his 20's these days can go out and buy a house with no credit then you are living in cuckoo land, but then again that's no real surprise.
