>How will I make friends? Obviously work is potentially a place but I will definitely be the youngest there.

You won't just meet someone at a bar and become friends for life. I've talked to many guys, girls and couples at bars and even if it resulted in hugs or even facebook addition.. it never, ever ever resulted in a lasting friendship.

I've become friends with the most unlikely people at workplaces however.
Work is your place, there won't be any other place to make serious lasting connections really.

> Will relationships be possible? How do I meet girls?
Yes, but you will probably be misserable unless youre one of those butterflies. I don't think you are. How did you get the job, through a friend? If not, you're probably going to be fucking lonely man.

> What do I do to manage money?
The first thing you do every month is to make a transfer to your savings account. I have saved up $20k this way.

Hey, thanks for your response.

Friends wise I think you're right, work is my best bet, I think there may be people around my age there anyway.

I got the job through a Year In Industry placement thing so yeah, I'll be probably be lonely. That's alright though, I am ok with loneliness.

How much should I be saving each month?

>>18038223
As much as you can afford, but no less than 10% ( £ 158)

Just have it as a backup or if you want to go on a really nice vacation or need to buy an apartment in the future it's really good to have.

Thanks man, this is helpful. I think shared accommodation is my only chance to be able to live with that amount of money to spare.

Your salary will go up.
Just remember that the closer you are to the money, the more likely it is that you will get a share.

Work is the best place. Second best is through hobbies. That means join classes or clubs. Team sports can be very social. But try out and join whatever you like. Like a soccer club, dog club, boxing gym, you name it. Sports just have the plus of making you sexyer. The hobby has to be something that get you outside your flat and interact with people.


- Will relationships be possible? How do I meet girls?
The relationship material girls most likely through work, hobbies or friends. Friends you gain through work and hobbies. You see it's all about taking part in something.

- What do I do to manage money?
The government from my country (switzerland) has websites for easy budget planning. Maybe yours has such a thing too.

You british really make low wages. I'd be basically homeless if I made that much in the US

Will there be gym club do you reckon? I go 4 times a week so that would be helpful.

Is Tinder a meme or is it actually good? For hookups that is.

I will look that up, thanks mate:)

£19000 is really good for a first time job here, considering it's an "apprenticeship" type deal.

The pound went down after brexit while the dollar has gone up.

US citizens got ritcher and brits got poorer and collectivley got their salaries lowered.
