Considering moving to the UK. Should I do it?

Sure dude

>>66343808
The UK might not exist in a couple years, so no.

Move to Switzerland

>>66343844
Australia is a good bet too

Because of Brexit the economy is going to explode and we're all going to die. Slowly. From inflation and WTO tariffs with Europe.

So my question to you is: do you fear death?

Can I expect the same standard of living there as I would here?

the perfid albion....

>>66345038
Depends entirely where you live now and where you plan on moving to.

>>66345038
>>66345038
There's a lot of regional variation here just like in the US

>>66345038
where would you go? do you want to live somewhere completely white with lower wages and more traditional lifestyle or do you want to live in a city which is likely multicultural but the wages are higher and theres more going on?

>>66345227
I'm not him but, I'm really interested in the first choice

Only if you have work.

>>66345586
well the first option is like where i live, Cornwall. but there isnt much work and the wages are low. its worth it though, i couldnt live in a city

>>66345640
dude, It seems great. How much cost to live there?

>>66345806
dont listen to him he's probably a farmer
go to london pham that's where it's at

>>66345874
>go to london pham that's where it's at
No, move to the south east near the coast.

>>66345088

Now
>Missouri

There
>just outside of London

>>66345874
Why would anyone leave the third world to live with the third world

>>66345038

No, the standard of living in the UK is nowhere near what it is in the US. Not even close. However, you might like it if you enjoy the lifestyle there.

>>66345874
What's so great about London? Is it similar to New York?

>>66345806
A lot. Which is funny because we're one of the poorest places in the UK yet we have some of the highest property values because its such a lovely place to live all the londoners and old people buy up the homes here and locals cant afford them. Renting is the only alternative and even then there isnt loads of properties. Its a pretty fucked situation, something needs to be done about it.

>>66345874

>London

No. Don't go to London. The wages don't make up for the increased cost of living or the awfulness of living in that city.

>>66343808
depends where you move to tbqh

this country is either god tier or poland tier

>>66345898
this, any home county/the south really
I used to live in London and now live in kent, pretty much all the benefits of being near london but not as much of all the other crap

>>66345975

Same situation all over the UK. The cost of living and the lack of space make it very difficult to have a decent life there. Housing is especially fucked. You can earn absolute shit wages and buy a really expensive house in the country and be a debt slave forever OR you can earn slightly more in a larger city and pay an astronomical sum for housing and be a debt slave forever. The whole country is fucked.

>>66346041
Just remember not to set foot in Medway

>>66346041

>living in the south

Unaffordable now, tbqhwyl.

>>66346141
yep. i read somewhere that the average first home owner is 37 years old. fucking mental.

at the end of the day disposable income is what matters, people could go to london and be earning loads but theyre paying thousands a month for a closet to live in, that aint living to me.

our government are pledging to build more ''affordable'' housing except it still costs way too much considering the average wage is about 15k a year down here. the houses are ugly as fuck as well and its only going to make the small roads congested. they dont understand building houses aint gonna do shit if theres still no work.

>>66346334

The wages in Britain are shockingly bad, especially when you compare to the cost of living. You can earn loads more in the States, which is why I left. Bought a home here for 1/6 of what it would cost in the UK AND I make twice as much money.

>>66346615
sweet. can i ask you a few questions

what are you doing?
where did you move to?
how was the transition? easy to adapt?

id like to own a house one day and thats not likely in the UK, and if it was it would be in a real shit area with a tiny patch of grass out the front for a 'garden'.

>>66346710

>what are you doing?
I'm in insurance.

>where did you move to?
South Carolina

>how was the transition? easy to adapt?
Americans love the British, so it is socially fairly easy. Life in general is also much more convenient. I'm now a cowboy boot-wearing, gun-owning, truck-driving, white picket fenced home-owning Ameriboo. Couldn't be happier with the move.

>>66346851
Have you convinced your fiancé to move yet or are you still being cucked by your MIL

>>66346001
>poland tier
You mean 100% white? Isn't that god-tier by definition?

>>66346982

Fiance? I live with my wife. Been married for years now. She's American.

>>66346851
>Americans love the British
Pretty true, probably 2nd most favorable after Canada (whom we consider brothers)

What to the British think of Americans?

>>66347066
Most Americans are great. "Touristy" Americans are annoying but tolerable and the Americans who act like caricatures are obviously disliked.

>>66347066
>What to the British think of Americans?
A bit loud and a bit thick but friendly and easy to get along with.

>>66347066
americans are quite outgoing, very overly friendly, like the other anon said a bit thick but in an innocent way. no one i know of dislikes americans and in general youre well received, its just funny because we're very different but at the same time our cultures are quite similar

>>66347066

Not sure why. Canadians are some of the smuggest liberal shitheads on Earth.

Never live anywhere where you can't own a gun .

>>66347661
Damn straight.

>>66347591

Well, I only speak English, so my options are UK, CAN, NZ, and AUS.

>>66347555
ok then go ahead and give it a try
you won't regret it

>>66347682

Out of those, I would choose NZ. Although you are ruling out many countries just because you dont' speak the language which is silly. You'll learn the language in a couple of years as long as you're not an idiot.

>>66347591
muslims are only in a few places

>>66347661
you can get rifle and shotguns here

>>66347677
I recently got offered an opportunity to live in the UK and I turned it down immediately for that reason
>>66347682
So learn another language

>>66343808
Literally why? I mean I'm actually wondering about the reasons, the UK is fucking dreadful.

>CCTV everywhere
>major cities crammed to the brim with muslims
>no guns
>getting arrested for mean tweets
>just as fat as the US
>piss poor, literally more impoverished than Alabama, yet with New York City's costs
>horrid weather

The only and I mean THE ONLY advantage they have over us is free healthcare, that's literally it.

>>66347801
>"""""free""""" healthcare

Not free. Paid for with rather high taxes. Also, the care and facilities are pretty shit.

t. former NHS employee

>>66347796
I'm 30 years old. Don't have enough time to learn another language fluently at this point.

>>66348190
Most European countries with the exception of France have an amazing grasp of English.

I'm gonna study abroad in the UK and see how I like it, I've always wanted to move there

>>66348348

If you think France is bad, try spain (other than british occupied benedorm)

> t brit living in france

>>66348605

I can tell you ahead of time. Living there is shit.

>>66345940
>This is what Americans UNIRONICALLY believe

>>66348689
judging the whole country from your one experience? everyone likes different things

>>66348689

Don't be so hasty. It really depends on his budget and location. Sure, much of the UK is a big bloody mess both with cost of living and space. Doesnt mean the whole deal is shit.

Then again, I left to go live in France.

>>66347964
British taxes aren't even that high, when you include the average cost of medical insurance in the united States our healthcare system is much cheaper

>>66348605
Also, one of the schools I'm looking at is in Wales.
I'm wondering how life in Wales differs from like in England

>>66348732
>>66348765
>>66348769

I'm British.

>>66348780

>British taxes aren't even that high

Yes, they are. Anyone making a decent wage is taxed at a 40% marginal rate. The you have a 20% VAT, council taxes, massive inheritance taxes, etc.

Taxes are a massive issue in the UK. They are absolutely prohibitive.

The only people is doesn't effect are bennie scroungers and low wage cucks who don't actually pay for anything.

>>66345899
>just outside of London
Depends how rich you are

>>66349085
If you're earning a decent wage in many places of the USA between local, state and federal taxes you get taxed over half your income

If you warn £50k a year in the uk because of tax bands and tax free allowance you pay about 30-35% of your income

And don't pretend America doesn't have indirect and consumption taxes as well

>>66349174

Depends what you mean by decent wage. Taxes are much more progressive in the UK. The amount you pay very quickly rises as your income increases. Taxes on good are also much higher, as is inheritance tax, capital gains, and others. There are also many more deductions available in the US tax code.

>>66349085
>>66349174
I'm a fresh accounting graduate so I want to clarify some things about tax that these retards have just spouted.

If your gross income is under £100,000 you have a personal allowance of £10,600, i.e. the first £10,600 of your income is tax free.

The first £31,785 is taxed at 20%.
Any income between £31,785 and £150,000 is taxed at 40%.
Any income over £150,000 is taxed at 45%.

>>66349541

I majored in accounting as well, you dunce, Notice I said 40% marginal rate?

>>66347330
That's just dumbass talking heads on TV, the average Canadian is almost impossible to distinguish from an American unless they've got a particularly noticeable accent.

>>66348190
Unless you're pulling lots of overtime at work and you've got very young children, you can make the time. You just have to be determined to.

>>66349774
My Canadian relatives got upset when I said they sounded American. Only thing that made them distinctive was the "'eh" at the end of some of their sentences.

>>66349652
40% marginal rate doesn't mean anything. Like, what does that even mean? At what point are you taxed 40%? Jesus maybe you shoulda majored in fucking explaining things with more clarity

>>66349980

>I don't understand what marginal means

Perhaps you should have studied harder. It means that once you reach the 40% bracket, each additional pound of earnings is taxed at 40% until you reach the next bracket.

>>66349921
I'm not sure what they would be upset about, every distinctly Canadian accent is atrocious.

>>66345038
did you have good insurance here? prepare for long waiting times...

>>66349774
the only sure giveway is "aboot". but maybe that's ontario. and the "eh" seems to be more of a BC thing.

>>66343808

you will have to shift to Islam if you want to live there

>>66351431

Yeah, I've got decent insurance.

Ontario and BC have no real accent. Just that neutral Midwest way of talking. The only accents here are Newfoundland and Maritimes. Everyone else sounds like they're from Minnesota or Michigan or whatever.

>>66345038
>Can I expect the same standard of living there as I would here?
Do you have 1million USD for an 800sq ft house? If not then no

>>66353677
>Minnesota or Michigan

Those are the most annoying American accents, tbqh

>>66353744

Housing, wages, and cost of living are all pretty awful in Britain

>>66355446
How the fuck can housing get so expensive if the wages are shit?

>>66343808
if you're educated and hard working, yes

if you're just another useless American, move to the EU

>>66355472

Because they have a massive property bubble and invest more of their assets into property rather than stocks or other investments.

>>66354282
This, I have a relative by marriage from Minnesota and her accent is absolutely horrible.

>>66355498

why the eu?

>wanting to move to sharialand

why?

>>66356534
