whoresup 3,450 Posted October 1, 2024 Share Posted October 1, 2024 I am from the UK and life is so expensive here, all my money goes so fast on bills and rent and food. I don’t ever get to treat myself or have luxurious things. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas 31,486 Posted October 1, 2024 Share Posted October 1, 2024 I live in Luxembourg (where wages are automatically increased based on inflation) and trust me, it doesn't help that much because all companies, markets etc... also raise their prices when it happens. No matter what anyone tries to do, the people keep getting ****ed more and more. The government even reduced the VAT rates by 1% last year but all stores decided to increase their prices by 1%...

Living wage if u have a partner to have 2nd income (with no children) or if you are single u have a room mate. For single people, parents or people with health issues (and thefore medical bills) its definitely still poverty wage Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
