i have an idea

u want to get out of there, i want to get out of here...

trust me, u guys have it much better than people here in the US. we have all the high bills but we have loads of debt from school and medicine. plus there r no jobs here and the ones available pay the same they were paying in 1995.
:weed:
You guys can afford petrol and car insurance. Even little things like that have now been made non-viable for the majority of younger folk. A lot of people can't get jobs because they simply can't afford the travel to get to them, train fares are going up alll of the time. Just a season ticket to commute to work could cost me well over 15% of my yearly income. My utility bills are a further 10-15% of my yearly income, my car insurance is 10% of my yearly income. Council tax is 10% of my yearly income. Living is expensive! I think that we both have different issues, but each is as bad a place as the other to live in.

Do Americans have an equivalent of council tax? Even if i own my house outright, unless i give the government money they will take it from me and put me on the street or in prison. It's fucking ridiculous. We're all just slaves plain and simple.

yes, it's called property tax. it can be 10k a year or more. iin the middle of the country, it's very reasonable but places like NY or CA can have 20k property tax.

when i was younger, i was paying 300 a month for car insurance but now it's lower.

gas is much cheaper but we have to pay for health insurance which i've been quoted at 1000 a month for me. I also take drugs that can add up to 300 a month.

i pay electric and gas and that's about 200 a month. it's not cheap here. as i said, ill gladly help u get here if u can help me get there. i wouldn't stay in UK, i'd prob go to Italy.

We are on a downturn in the UK ,
watch the news in 2012,
I am not born here i'm Portuguese,
But i know them and it's going to kick off,
people will only have the piss taken out of them for so long .....
The USA is in Recovery ish,
The main problem is the european debt crisis which Britain rely's so heavily on,
and no light and the end of the tunnel,
The streets will rise.

I was not kidding about the amount of polish ppl working here and sending the money home, no joke.

Well the thread title does say "do i want to be here" so yes , i am considering a move ,
Our bbc news channel reports rising Employment and a Recovering economy in the Usa,
Mainly my work would be a serious thing for me to consider,
i would be leaving what i worked hard for,
and more than likely access to my Boy,
so i could not really.

the news lies. they tell the public that things are improving to try to build confidence. they misreport the #s. besides the unemployment # is based on those who are collecting. many have exceeded the max collection and are now unable to collect. all those people are out of work but being uncounted.

what r u doing for work?

yeah, it's hard to leave family. i live veyr far from my but i have no kids so it's much easier.

I wont post what i do here as it connects me directly to a specific area in a town, but i will add you as a friend and message you after my bloom room switch on as not to be rude :)

So that would be that their benefits from social security have run out ? so they get nothing ?
Wow that stinks , i think everyone who claims in the uk gets a base rate no matter what, as long they can actively take on a job and are willing to work,
Yeah leaving him is not something i dont think i could consider while he's so young , and i dont think she would let me take him lol....
