Can't blame you for thinking about moving out, I have had the same idea lately. Regarding the lifestyle back in our countries, I am a bit sceptical. Definitely, the difference in Income and Living costs is getting thinner and thinner every year comparing the UK and East Europe, but I was in Poland 2 Years Ago when people were telling me, " Man, Poland now is completely different, we are earning good money etc." Just to find out that, in fact, people earn more nowadays, they are buying houses and making families, but at what cost? Interest in their house mortgages is extremely high. People work a lot of hours to afford to pay off mortgages, and prices for Groceries are still high compared to their income.Saying that I am not trying to say do not come back, just to check yourself before you make any plans to come back as you know, " The grass is greener..."
Wish you all the best

I can't really agree.
I would agree with the first part, tho. I believe there is a design to keep people poor, as soon as you are able to save something, there is always something from the government to pay, some tax, some bill or other thing. I find it really strange that every time when I get some savings, I cannot use them because there is always something popping out of nowhere to pay.
In the Second part, I cannot really agree. Through the last 14 years, I have met a lot of people from different skills and backgrounds.
I know at least 2 Mechanics, and in fact, they are getting paid well, but only if they work overtime and really push themself to the limit. Otherwise, it's less than 40k per year, and if you have a family, that is simply not enough now to pay your bills and live comfortably.
Me myself I have a pretty well-paid job. Construction is not easy, but it is well-paid. We are really humble with money but We are still struggling. We get long, we can pay our bills and he has food on the table, but thats'it.
I am a person who really believes that it is always up to me, and that's why I am really trying to change something in my life, but the part about economics in this video had a purpose to show people who are planning to come to the UK.
(Maybe I just did not clarify that)
But for people who earn minimum wage or a bit more, it has to be extremely hard in these times.

People who live in the UK cannot see this differently as much because they see it every day, and it is just a minor decline every day, so it's not as visible, but as someone who moved out and came back, it has to be a shock.
That's the whole point and originality of the UK is that the culture is unique, even going to the pubs, English tea, etc. That is what makes the UK unique, but you cannot see that anymore...
When I came here 14 Years ago, I fell in love with the UK, but now it is certainly a different place.
It is sad to see

@terryj50 you know, sometimes I think people who earn more, like 80k or plus, cannot see a lot of shit that touches people who are on 20-30k or even 40k.
Not saying they are bad or anything, I am happy for people who earn more, and we all should try to get there, ad I certainly trying to do.
You said seeing crime is only visible if you are involved in drugs, which is completely false, have you ever been in town like Birmingham, Bedford etc?
Probably even poorer parts of London?
Regarding the prices I think you have a different perspective due to income, I want to do the calculation for you but imagine if you would make 30k per year, how your life look like then. Life looks really different in these circumstances

Hi, First, congrats on moving to Japan (although it was 20 years ago). Whenever I go on holiday, I think oh man, it is nice here. I have everything I need, I could stay here for life, but only because I am on holiday, and I cannot feel what people feel who have to work to make me feel this way. There are people who work hours over hours for the minimum wage to keep people happy when they are on holiday. Even when I visited my country 2 Years ago, I thought it was not as bad actually I could see my friends buying houses and building families, but then when I finally had a chance to meet with them, eventually I found out they had been constantly working and even hard to find time to catch up ( due to massive Interest Increase in the last year on their Houses mortgages). I am not saying that it is bad back there, All I am saying is we always will see a different world when we only visit the place
Good luck in Japan
