Originally posted by PurpleGorilla View PostNope sorry - I am not wrong. Uk wages are good. Any higher and we are non competitive. Fact.
Energy costs are high and this is a big outlay both for business and for employees. Then there is high rent and a monopoly property market.
Low energy costs, and housing costs and everyone would be richer (apart from the banks and multinational corps).
Nuclear is the only answer.Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment

I feel lucky, if I was 18-19 now I would have never made the same decisions I did when I was actually 18, for example I would never have gone to university the debt would of put me off, I didn't have to pay fees etc and still got a grant. London houses prices are also totally screwed up, the first place I bought / sold is now back on the market, back in the day as a permy I could pay the mortgage no probs when I was 23 30k salary, now you would need a 90k salary to cover the mortgage to get the place.I like big butts and I cannot lie.Comment

There needs to be a major housebuilding program a shake up of public sector services and investment in energy. What people then earn does not really matter. People are under pressure to earn enough to stave off reliance on any public sector service. If these services worked for the consumer instead of the supplier then everything would be fine.Let us not forget EU open doors immigration benefits IT contractors more than anyoneComment

You cannot buy a property in London or in lots of the South East however hard you work unless you have relatives giving you money for a deposit. I know teachers and other lower paid people doing worthwhile occupations who if they were born 5 years let alone 10 years later would not have been able to buy property."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

The one thing that under 30s have.
Which money cannot buy.
Which is worth more than anything else.
That silver surfers would trade it all for.
Is their youth.
One life - live it.
