Night out min 100. I said to my son, you can have inough savings in 5 years to buy small hause for cash, he answer me that he's spendings is basic standart now, and most of his frends have big loans taken, cause they not enough mooney to live, i stayed in silence. So i dont believe in those stories about impossibility to buy a house anymore. 

Bang on there mate (apart from the nicking jobs thing!)

 

Life is as expensive as you want to make it. I don't care for material things like the above personally but we are all different.

 

It's a good thing for folks to put pen to paper and check accounts to see where it is all actually going! Such a reality check if they actually listen and take it in

That’s a very interesting and revealing story Sviatoslav.

Thanks for posting.

Dont take offence, about job, its a common joke between working emigrants.

Let's get this right, you asked, almost told me that Veg pickers on the Lincs Fens were/ could earn £30/hour, yet you have nothing to back it up... or have I minssed something?
 
I think the Fens would be full of folk working 10 hours/day if £300 was achievable.

No need to shout me down, all in the news this week

Food price hike warning as farm labour crisis deepens - Farmers Weekly

British food prices will have to rise to cover soaring wages for farm workers, industry leaders have warned. The warning came as a Lincolnshire-based

I was only pointing out what some other land based sectors were offering to workers, in comparison to your £15/hr statement

I seen this tendency, more and more, my bet is, that manual work will become very well paid, reason is simple, no offence but most western people can not coup with manual labour at all, i mean completely cant.

Yes and no. 
 

To clarify, if you wish to save up for a Mortgage and you’re on a lower wage or the house prices put the area or type of house you want out of your reach and you really want that then you’re gonna have to work hard to achieve that goal. Once you have your eye watering deposit, and once you’ve satisfied the bank you can maintain that level of income then you’ll get your house/flat. After that you can relax and settle into just making your mortgage payments each month, that’s quite often lower than what they where paying in rent before. 
 

If nothing else you’re breaking the shackles of being a rent slave for the rest of your life.
