How It Is Possible To Live In The Uk For 30 Years And Have Zero In Savings. by HEAVEN4444: 11:14am On Feb 21, 2022 |
brother the UK is not a place that pays high wages. even medical doctors there are struggling and they japa to america for more money. and so the average salary in uk is like 25,000 pounds. thats average meaning half the population is earning less than that. so as a black person lets say your average is 20,000 a year Tax will take a quarter of that. yoU cant avoid it. thats 15,000 left unless you choose to live on the street, but if you live in a house you pay council tax of 1000 a year 14000 left light and water bill and gas is like 3000 a year. thats 11.000 left if you have car MOT and TAX and gas is like 3000 a year. and if you dont have car, public transport is like 3000. thats 8000 left TV license is 200 pounds if you have mobile phone lets says 1000 a year. you are left with 7000 you clothe yoUrself and children if you have children. lets say 500 a year. you have 6000 left you feed yourself and children. lets say 3000 a year you have 3000 left rent is 6000 pounds a year so now all yoUr money has finished and your account is NEGATIVE 3000. miscellaneous like sending money home or unexpected things to buy is 1000 a year so now your account is in the red for 4000 pounds SO ON THE AVERAGE BRITISH SALARY YOU END UP OWING THE BANK 4000 POUNDS IN THE RED. NO SAVINGS. YOU GET IT ? SO NOW YOU UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE CAN LIVE IN UK 30 YEARS AND HAVE ZERO IN SAVINGS AND BE OWING BANK MONEY ? 6 Likes |

If it is as bad as this, everybody would have run out of UK for long. In America that you used as example, you don't have access to free medicare like in UK and other European countries. The welfare benefits in UK and other European countries far outweigh that of America. Nigerians who visit from UK to Nigeria don't even spend more than three weeks before they run back, if it was as bad as that, why them dey run comot like that? 17 Likes 1 Share |

What exactly is wrong with what OP put forward?... if we disagree we should say why. I agree that this is very much possible.... if the person chooses to have just that one job as his only source of income. It is the very reason we hear of soo many Regular Joe abroad having two jobs and a side hustle. |

Originalsly: You're right bro. Must people travel to work their life out? He may just be happy even with little or no savings. I always discourage anyone from working 2 jobs. Even if one should work multiple jobs, it should be for a short time. Live life. 1 Like |

You guys always say that people who go abroad are suffering and have no savings because of bills! Lol That’s what they tell people back in Nigeria, that they are struggling and have no savings because they don’t want the burden of sending money home to family. Instead they want to save and ENJOY their money. And when you guys say they’re stuck abroad and can’t afford a ticket home, the real reason they don’t go home is because they bought a ticket to vacation in the Caribbean or somewhere else. 4 Likes 1 Share |

oz4real83: You are wrong regarding the reasons Nigerians don‘t stay more than three weeks before running back. For a very large proportion (more than 95%), Its no other reason than the fact that they need to pay bills so they need to rush back to work. In the west, You are paid per number of hours you have worked. Another reason is because they cant stay longer than the holiday/leave given to them by their employer. Otherwise, they risk losing their jobs. 1 Like |
