Cost of Living Crisis UK | Should you move to UK in 2023?
I moved from India to the UK a year 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!

Hi Ashika,
Thank you so much for this informative video and the efforts put into collecting this information. However is it a typing error that I saw in your video? In the second row, the cost of living for 4 person family in London is shown as 3196 GBP. However the header says as Single Person per month. So as per the video, it’s an expense of 3196 GBP for a single person. Is that so? Or else the header should be changed to “4 person family (except rent)”
Anish
Very helpful! Thank you !!
Glad it was helpful Aldsea.
Ashika... Are these costs applicable in Scotland and other cities around the uk too?
I was expecting you to tell me this is how it cost during that crisis, I compare to my income myself and decide for myself. Thank you anyway for the content it might be beneficial to others.
Beside the financial matters , is it safe to move to England now ? Please explain why in both cases. Thanks 🙏
Hi Ashika! You know? The information which you are providing us free of cost through this channel is so valuable that many youtubers and consultants would never want us to know without payment! Ashika after watching you I realized that humanity has not been died completely 😪 ashika please excuse me for getting emotional....
Yes she is really doing a noble work.... 😍 😍. Mashallah.. I am UAE based but getting loads of help through her videos. May Allah shower His blessings on her always..Ameen
Thank you for the kind words guys. Hope 2023 is your year and you move to the UK!
Free of charge, not free of cost. You could also write cost free. But you do not in English say 'free of cost'.
Has not been died is also incorrect. Simply write 'has not died'.
No matter what the "reported inflation" is, the real prices are twice that as you explained in prices of food and fuel.
Really appreciate the efforts put in for this video !!!
Thank you for the kind words Markwin
Quality of life you decide its intrinsic not decided by how many times canyou eat outside
The Telegraph says "In fact, the opposite is the case: Britain is turning into a relatively poor country, and fast. In terms of GDP per capita, the UK is soon expected to fall behind Mississippi, traditionally the worst off state in the US. According to some projections, in less than 15 years we are even set to be overtaken by Poland, the country that used to supply us with an endless army of cheap workers." and The Guardian says "Two in three police force areas in England and Wales are experiencing rising gun crime, with one force facing levels six times higher than a decade ago, Guardian analysis of Home Office data has found." Any suggestions where we can emigrate to from UK? Many thanks.
Very informative video. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful Tejasvi.
Plz paste the links of the websites u mentioned in the description. U still can
Do you think in the future it will still increase?
Excellent video, mam. Seeing your videos for the last five months and finally next week I am landing there. Finding a pet-friendly house is still a nightmare with inflation rising so much!!!
Keep creating fantastic content like this.
Thank you.
Thank you for the kind words Neilmani. Wish you luck with your move.
Very helpful for new students
Glad you think so Vipul!
its so helpful for me thanks mem thanku so much😘😇😇
Thank you for watching Manish!
Accommodation prices are just sky touching at the moment.
The heating bills too :(
I was wondering when someone would do this. Thank you
Thanks for watching
I'll be returning back to the UK after 4 years overseas... not sure if it's a good or bad decision. There seems to be no positive news that comes out of UK, and it always sounds like people are unhappy and always feel they are not paid enough. Really hope there's something positive to look forward to, and that i'll be able to financially cope.
A bad decision...it's not good here
You forgot to mention that GBP has also weakened as a currency - so purchasing power has gone down and making remittances back to India even more unattractive.
It seems a family of four needs a family income of GBP 85000 (in London) and GBP 65000 (in other cities) just to get by. Factoring in high taxes in UK, that means not much savings (the very reason for going to UK).
The only hope is that it picks up. There is talk that the UK may barely escape the recession. Fingers crossed
@@AbsolutelyAshika Do you think UK will be Europe's Sri Lanka. GBP has collapsed and now double-digit inflation is inevitable. All the ingredients of economic collapse that Sri Lanka faced seem to be coming true for UK as well.
@@AbsolutelyAshika sorry to say, we are already in recession, living in the UK now is insane. Heating or eating type of lifestyle!!
Hey could you share a short video of impact if any of GBP going down from INR 104 to almost INR 91 presently as this is going to give more GBP in less INR to a person moving in present scenario from India to UK?
It will go down to 70
@@understanding.everything never lol 🤣🤣already back up.
Please look well forward before handing any savings over for investment. It may be beneficial but please be careful
That's a very good point Dawn
Hi Sarika,all your videos are so informative.I have two queries related to visa appointment.
1.Please let me know whether 3 year kid need finger print scan or not.
2.I have to go to bio metrics with my two kids(10 years and 3 years) at Hyderabad VFS, so can I take my niece as attendant to one of my child.Pls confirm.
Thank you in advance.
My name is Ashika and not Sarika. Now I dont know if you like my videos or hers :D. Anyway
1)Biometrics arent compulsory for a 3yr old
2) Your niece won't be allowed
You are the best
Can u please guide us if we can come to uk as teacher and what is the process and qualifications and work experience required
Hi Kalpana, you'll find the details here czcams.com/video/f0kzp1aCoZQ/video.html
Hi Ashika ji, My cousin got admission in Northumbria university, Newcastle and she wants to move there with family of 4. She has 2 school going children, is it a feasible place to do so?
I have lived in Newcastle for more than a year and am planning to move to Maidenhead/ Reading in the coming months. To answer your question and after doing analysis, Newcastle is way cheaper and a good place to live with family. Good schools, warm welcoming people and less cost of living as compared to other cities in the UK.
The answer is no. Don't come, the cost of living means crime has gone up, unemployment is up, prices are much higher than what is shown on this video and working people can barely heat homes. Disgraceful
Thank you for sharing your experience Alfonso.
I was thinking of moving to uk for a fresh start after the you know what and joining my second cousin in London but right looking like a pipe dream :/
Hang in there. It will get better
Nice haircut , you should have this 😊
Hi, Very Nice Video. Average in how much time student can get part time job in UK? I m planning to come to Birmingham fir Masters in January 23. Pls guide if possible.
Thanks Abhay. A student visa issued for full-time degree level studies allows you to work for a maximum of 20 hours per week during term-time.
@@AbsolutelyAshika Hi, thanks for your replying. I was asking that average in how many days student can get part time job in UK? Pls guide if possible.
Hi Ashika! I am moving to London soon and your videos have been a major lifesaver. Thank you so much for all your efforts. I definitely owe you a Jalebi if we ever bump into each other in the UK 😄
Congratulations, i have also promised her jalebi on her Southall video😄
Thank you for the kind words. Wish you luck with the move. Jalebi udhar rahega.
I"m still waiting
Hello mam. I don't understand. When the uk is not depended on Russia far any imports. Why will the price of energy bills isn uk should go up... Because of Russia war???
A lot of oil was imported from Russia which the UK is trying to avoid now. Gas bills will naturally go up because of that
Its called rampant profiteering and price gouging. Russia is just a useful scapegoat
I lost interest in your video when you didn't mention Brexit. Why are you not including it as a primary drag on the UK's economy? Or do you mention it later in the video?
B/c doesn't have nearly as much of an impact as the other reasons
@@Lando-kx6so What you're saying is nonsense. The EU was the UK's largest trading partner, and now they're gone. How can that not impact the UK's economy in a very serious and significant way?
@@mkoschara What do you mean they're gone? The UK still trades with EU countries, they haven't disappeared.
@@gg-ps1vz UK small and medium sized businesses are now choosing to no longer trade with the EU because it's no longer lucrative. Enjoy the pound when it achieves parity with the dollar/euro.
@@mkoschara Why are you being aggressive? I was just explaining. If Germany and Italy are also showing the same signs of entering a recession soon and in some regions their cost of living is worse than the UK, then I foresee this affecting all of Europe, not just the UK.
Its not the war but the sanctions which is now being backfired on europe,Where Eu has tried to put the intrest of ukraine first before its own citizen.Here I would say the Indian diplomats are really wise and have played safe 👏by not licking the US (excuse my language).Also the worst part is US has dragged Uk into it while having its own backup [ No Doubt the war has hurt many lives but It would affect even more in future If u are thinking emotionally and not practically ]
What was your suggestion? What should the UK have done?
@@AbsolutelyAshika Its not just about the UK its about Europe too.The only thing they could have done is by not impose those strict sanction because if you intend to take such major step you better be ready with a full proof plan for the future,UK & EU have thought that the imposing strict sanction would make Russia economy suffer(which Did, but beacuse of Russias power for importing oil,grain,gas It even recovered multifold times) but forgot that their almost half countries are run by their blessing(Nord stream).Not critising but how can someone be so dumb comparing it with economic giant like US.On the contrary this has helped India alot as it is now getting food oil and gas at much cheeper rates.Now the only way for uk is to burn huge cash to survive.Hope this istuation ends for UK as early as possible🙏Take care
If you are thinking of moving to UK, instead move to Malta. Cost of living is about half. Just make sure you have a job ready.
That sounds pretty good! What's life like there?
@@AbsolutelyAshika Very different to the UK! Lots come here for holiday but to live here it's also nice. You can rent a room for a low price like 350 euro and if you manage to grab a reasonable wage, working in igaming seems to be a big thing, then you will do well here. I can't imagine returning to the UK right now as it sounds so expensive and how can you save money?
Thanks again for great explanation.... I am doctor with wife and three kids above Nursery age..My wife is Home maker,
I been offered Job for 76000 GBP before tax nearby Manchester area.,.. please Suggest....
My kids in primary School... plz suggest how much average I can save in UK after tax, rent, groceries , travel etc etc Avarage life .,...
You may want to shop around! Im the recruitment manager for a private medical company and we pay our GPs £100k a year and thats considered low! You can live reasonably comfortably on £76k a year, i earn a similar amount but it wont take you nearly as far as it did a couple of years ago.
Anyone who listens to news should know this, you are reading from a script
I was thinking of moving to UK as a male Nurse... Processing is in full swing...i am worried now 🙃
As long as your salary matches your expectations and you’ll have enough savings, you should still consider it
Is 2600-2700 enough for couple.staying 30-50 minutes away from city with rent nearing to 800-1000 for 1 bhk
Ashika.. can you reply to this question?
Yes it's enough to live on and exepences as long as you don't smoke and drink alot.
Is it better to go for canadian PR instead of moving to UK on work permit?
Depends on what you're looking for
İf you think that living in the UK is expensive than try to live in turkey. Inflation is horrible here
I heard. What's going on is really really sad.
DONT COME TO THE UK PLEASE THIS COUNTRY IS SO ROUGH TO LIVE IN IF You Don't MAKE MINIMUM 50K PER YEAR. SERIOUSLY YOU WILL REGRET
Yeah it is getting expensive. But hopefully things get sorted out soon
Are you saying a family of 4 with 50K annual income will starve in the UK or will sleep in the cold? The figures look bloated to me. Could you please share your source?
Look google
They will. In London. If they have to rent.
Isn't it obvious? People don't go to UK for the "good" British weather. They go there to make money - economic migrants. If that is not fulfilled, then why would you go to UK? Do the math, and make your decision.
The figs have been taken from the govt website. How much you require to a large extent depends on where you live and how much you pay for accommodation. You live in London in an expensive part, its not just the accommodation costs, but heating, property tax etc that add up.
Australia 🇦🇺 is the best option at the moment.
Considering we're heading into winter, that Australian summer is looking very tempting at the moment.
Everything is sky high in Australia too .
I have been moved out from the UK.
Hi there. Would you like to Rosie l elaborate?
Hi Ashika,
Thanks for the videos, they are really helpful.
Can you please let us know if there's any classifieds website or portal lik OLX in India ?
Hey Ananth, thank you! Each town and city has their own classifieds. Maidenhead for instance has theirs. If you're looking to buy or sell something, do check ebay and craigslist as they are very popular here. And theres always Facebook marketplace.
Im big fan you mamm
Thank you for watching Shoron.
Moving to the UK? No thanks, I'm fine here in Norway. On the other hand, I can always visit the country... 🙂
I've always wanted to visit Norway. Looks amazing
@@AbsolutelyAshika You are most welcome 😀
People are on food banks here
Yeah times are difficult.
I'm British and the answer is no. UK is a mess these days, go somewhere else, there are far better options.
Where exactly? Pretty much the entire world is messed up, we're all headed for a major global recession, & many places are a lot more difficult to migrate to than the UK
@@Lando-kx6so I moved away from the UK, it's very expensive, everyone is rude, the weather sucks, people are racist, the culture is boring, it's not a good place to be, also good luck finding a job, especially as a foreigner. Go to Asia, way better.
@@allow73839 hahahaahahaha
You do realise that UK = England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, don't you, Joseph?
@@unknowncompany948 Obviously, what is your point?
Inflation is all over the world
Unfortunately, that is true. The UK is still better than a lot of other countries.
@@AbsolutelyAshika England is a dump
Dummy one and only reason printing money out of thin air
We don't want more people coming on boats that shouldn't be here in the first place Doesn't the uk have enough problem as it is without all these people coming over illegally
Awkward to take advice off a foreign (Indian?) person who has chose this country to live in?
I don't wish to be rude, but what's better with the country you originate from?
The good news?
You are living in the UK!!! (Are you?}
No recession in India is what is better. I'm not harping on about India here tbh as I too am moving to the UK next month. Quality of life definitely seems to be better in the UK. Especially after living for 3 years in the Netherlands.
Don't come we are full up
Filipino healthcare workers have been coming and they are about to settle there too.
I can't lie down come here it's too full and the health care system is a mess. This is coming from the son of an immigrant
My advice is don’t come to the UK is not the golden rich country that they make us out to be we are struggling badly stay in your own countries and this is supported by flag colours red white and blue and red white and black uk flags
Don't come to the UK, we're full.
Is it the reason why flat rents are high, and housing is expensive?
@@bumh21 housing in UK is getting very expensive.
