Is There Any Hope?! Londoners Spend Two Thirds Of Their Income On Rent

[BrilloPad]

The problem is the southerners, happily cashing in on their inherited homes and flogging them to all and sundry as BTLs.

The bigger problem is them NOT cashing in their inherited homes. Prices rising so quickly no-one will sell.

Fantastic for young people. You can become a wage slave, spend all your money on rent and have f**k all to show for it. Or go on the dole and watch daytime TV.

Or go on the dole shag a lot and be on daytime TV.

FTFY

The world doesn't begin and end in London people!

There are plenty of other cities in the uk that have healthy jobs markets, are vibrant and, here's the clincher, you don't have to bust a nut just in order to subsist!

I'd be looking at upping sticks to Cardiff, Bristol or Edinburgh if I were their shoes.

London is for bankersimmigrants

But immigrants are good for the economy. We've been told that for years.

So keep sucking it up Londoners - Think of the economy!

2016-01-23 How Labour has turned London into a foreign city: Fewer than half the capital's population are white British, gangsters from Somalia terrorise the suburbs and even the tramps are immigrants, reveals astonishing new book

Munich is for Engineers. Or insurance right enough, there by many of them.

I was really fancying a crack at Germany, but all this migrant business puts me right off.

[scooterscot]

This nut is not for cracking then;-)

I would imagine other Munich residents pay a considerably higher percentage of their smaller earnings. remember we are the top 10% earners.

Well, beer is certainly cheaper there, and taxes lower. And who cares if they earn less if they end up spending 22% on quality rent vs 66% in London? Prices are generally lower in Europe, they certainly don't pay crazy money for train travel or anything else really.
