SHOCKING Rising Cost of Living in UK with Inflation 2022 | Still Worth Moving to UK?

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!

Thank for for this vlogg,i will be sending it to relatives abroad who think money grows on trees in the UK.

[@AbsolutelyAshika]

Lol ok Safina 😂😂😂

[@DVB1848]

I am in U.K. since 1968. My relatives back in India just assumed that I had a small army of servants to do the cooking, cleaning, gardening, ironing etc etc. - till they started coming here for their holiday. They do have an army of servants to do all of the above, and still believe that their life is very hard.😱

Could you also make a video on what could the students who come to study to the Uk cook for themselves?, Since there isn't a lot of time that we get to send on cooking too, so

[@AbsolutelyAshika]

Hi Deepa, I'll definitely try and work on this. Good idea.

[@newbiekhyber]

It seems your quality of life is lower in UK. The inflation has only gone up since you posted this video. The key point is that the best days of UK are behind it.

[@AbsolutelyAshika]

Why would you say the quality of my life has gone down? Inflation has gone up but I’m very happy with my life here.

[@newbiekhyber]

@@AbsolutelyAshika You mentioned you moved from Bangalore. Obviously, I cannot comment on how your life was in Bangalore. I am sure you are happy with your life there and that's good. 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?

[@catherinemorgan7836]

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!

[@DVB1848]

@@newbiekhyber no matter where you live on this planet, you must be aware of your everyday expenses. The cost of living has increased dramatically recently in U.K., and it is a shock to see how much it costs to fill a car with petrol etc. So your comment is not realistic.

[@VirtualChoupal]

Your Videos are absolutely wonderful and great on content. Please please make some videos on Scotland covering various topics of your other videos too. It is needed to compare and have an option in UK

[@NirgunJay]

I've lived here my whole life, I 100% wouldn't recommend coming here unless you enjoy working just to pay bills. Also if you enjoy heavy drinking as a sociatal norm then welcome. You will need the alcohol just to get by......

Invaluable. Thank you! The train fare is a bit shocking. Getting a license will take a bit (We drive on the opposite side of the road 😂) Is it possible to walk to shopping in towns like yours?

Klaus Schwab “You will own nothing and be happy”. We are currently in the middle of a class extermination where the upper class are driving the lower classes deeper into poverty. The UK will be a terrible place to live unless you are wealthy.

[@AbsolutelyAshika]

I'd rather not get into how much money Klaus Schwab used to make but that being said, everything is relative. You can be wealthy and still unhappy in the UK, you can have a moderate income and still be happy. Wealth is a part of the equation. An important part, but still, a part.

[@MatthewChapmanYT]

@@AbsolutelyAshika what’s a moderate income. I think you are living in a bubble, 40K is a top 15% income. 40k is not enough to live on.

[@arc5588]

I am sorry but seriously disagree. I live in harrow and food is really cheap eating out is not expensive and so many Indian places around. Maidenhead is mainly a city with Europeans and so the food is catered for them. Best place to live for Indian is either Harrow or Watford as a lot of authentic Indian restaurants.

[@AbsolutelyAshika]

Thank you for sharing your opinion. Not everyone can or wants to live in Harrow or Watford because it doesn't suit their jobs. And driving to Harrow to have Indian food from other towns doesn't always make sense.

[@lax731]

Hi great video.. Would 60k be a good enough salary to move to UK -Manchester? For a couple.

[@AbsolutelyAshika]

Hi Lax, it would depend on your spending habits. If the both of you aren't big spenders and are willing to focus on saving initially it will be tight but alright.

[@jul4113]

Hello . Are these numbers still valid today?

[@vipuls5900]

I am also in Bangalore and feel whilst moving to UK, we cannot even save as much as we saved in rupee terms in India.

[@AbsolutelyAshika]

Hi Vipul, it definitely depends on the jobs but yes it is possible.
