  • SHOCKING Rising Cost of Living in the UK with Inflation 2022 | Still Worth Moving to the UK?
    With the cost of living in the UK rising, is it still worth moving to the UK? The cost of living in the UK drastically increased over the past few months due to inflation, increasing oil and power prices and other factors, making monthly expenses in the UK skyrocket.
    If you plan on moving to the UK as a student in the UK or a working professional or are already in the UK, the cost of living in the UK is something you should take very seriously because that will determine whether you are making the right decision to move to the UK based on what your income vs expenditure will be.

    I moved from India to the UK 8 months ago with my family and dogs and it’s been challenging to say the least. Since we moved to England, we’ve had our fair share of challenges. Some expected, some not.
    I put out a new video every week on moving to the UK including UK work visas and UK student visas and life in the UK once you get here so if you plan on moving to the UK, this is the channel for you!

But there are many people on this planet who are happy and content with three square meals a day. My observation was not about happiness, but about quality of life pertaining to costs. Think of it this way - you have moved from a "developing" country to a "developed" country and you still are "worried about" minor expenses like the cost of haircuts, car insurance, eating out or ordering food, etc. In an apparently "developed" country why should one bother about day-to-day survival issues?

      Whatever happens in the UK, WILL follow through to other Countries, because the markets are GLOBAL!
      The cost of living WILL rise EVERYWHERE! In most western countries, people rely heavily on credit, giving the ILLUSION of wealth, when in fact MOST are up to their eyeballs in debt, living beyond their means!
      The Banks are tightening their grip on who they give credit to, so even that safetynet is heavily restricted.
      The Bank of England raised Interest Rates yesterday by 0.5% and inflation is currently running at 9%!
      Immigration & Migration is also being tightened, with those who have been allowed in, having to demonstrate a SUBSTANTIAL amount resources to sustain themselves!
