Yes - always read the question before writing the exam- the comments just show what people really want to hear

2:11 actually, yeah, it does but £120 a year to ensure you stay sane is worth it. Although having satellite or cable tv when you are poor is a piss take. And before anyone starts, i lived for 10 years off £300 p/m (thanks tories) and at no point did i even have a TV to watch satellite or cable tv.

I'm 42, live in Sheffield, can only dream of 40k.

No one is going to help you but yourself. The best investment anyone can make is in themselves.Do whatever it takes to succeed.

It’s all subjective at the end of the day. Everyone lives in their own bubble.

If you want to enjoy life dont live in london, live away from cities

Rich people think the working class shouldn't be allowed to enjoy a minute of their life, they should live to work. Having anything that allows you to enjoy your life is seen as a privelage by them. They want you in a position where you can only just about afford to eat, you don't need heating just layers, and they want you to do it all with no fuss. They can get fucked!!! Every human deserves to feel their life has value and hav ethe freedom to enjoy their life. We work to live not the other way round.

Even the minimum 60-70k most people are not on. The mean average salary for all workers in the UK is around 31k. All those bank interests on loan and mortgages go into into linning pockets of these out of touch people. Its only getting worse.

If you are having to rent a property £30k will cover your rent but then you will need at least another £40k to live and pay bills!

Thank you for asking “normal people” what they think is the current working wage necessity…tells you something when it’s half or less than what the bankers suggest is “necessary”. The wealthy are in such a bubble they have no idea how most of us are trying our best to simply tread water…

What a stupid video....the bankers are not wrong. £40k is barely making it by in London if you want to have a good time and pay your rent. I would say £60k is the minimum.

You eat $hit, big time. I started my job on 35k, enjoyed everything in London. A decent single person can make it easily on this bracket 35-40K, which is viewed as a slightly upper average an wage for London 20s, early 30s somethings.

Agreed, that's being conservative.

THESE ARE NOT THE RICH PEOPLE you should be going after. We need to unite with these people, I doubt they think its a good idea to pump shite into the sea. They're doing well but they're not pulling the strings!!!

These aren’t Brits, these are Londoners. Very different standards to the rest of the country. Take these conversations outside of London please

London completely out of touch with the rest of the country

...Bankers who visit the Psychiatrists...?

DON'T PAT OCT 1st..THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN..For the sake of every working man in Britain..SUPPORT WORKERS , NOT GOVERNMENT AND BIG COMPANIES..🇬🇧👍

A walk in the sunshine, a walk in the rain, holding hands, mindfulness meditation. All these things are free. I'm off for a picnic later with my family. Costs nothing besides the price of the food which we have already bought. Spending time with friends also costs nothing.

You’re asking a bunch of middle class white kids in their early 20’s what much older adults with with established careers earn…this video is dumb. The fact that they don’t value £10 shows how disconnected they also are from people who are truly struggling

50???? I know people still working 12k jobs...

They are saying that's what they need to enjoy London? And it's true. So what's the issue?

Netflix £10 per month by choice. BBC £15 per month on threat of prison. Thing's that make you go Hmmmmm 🤔

I don't have a TV licence because I don't watch live television. They don't publicise it, but you don't have to have a TV licence if you don't watch livestream TV. We have Netflix instead, which works out cheaper anyway.

Always good to hear your thoughtful and logical analysis. I don't care about bullish or bearish market. Trade a small percentage of your portfolio rather than going in and out every couple weeks trying to time the market trading went smooth for me as I was able to raise over 8.4 BTC when I started at 3 BTC in just few weeks implementing Richard and tips..

If you claim its the opinion of brits, have more than just english people, because that's all they were.

Depends where you live in London tbh, but I agree more with the bankers than with this lot. Rent is sky high as well as everything else

Good old uk !!!!!! To live in a shi.t heap

The people earning more money aren’t saying it’s a good thing or boasting, the fact that you have to be earning a high wage to live in the city. It’s disingenuous what you’re portraying here.
