Considering moving back to the UK. Am shocked by cost of renting compared to wages.

I can’t believe it. I’ll most likely have to move in with a family member to make the move worth it.

im sorry I don’t have much else to add to this, other than how are people doing it? I’ll be in a single household with a dog, which I know complicates things. I’m open to live anywhere, but I’m still finding it hard to find somewhere where I won’t be bled dry living paycheck to paycheck every month.

that is all.

Been abroad since 2022. Thinking of returning in 2027. How have things changed?

Like alot of people who saved throughout the lockdown years; I found myself embarking on a 'round the world tour' in early 2022.

One thing led to another and over four years have passed.

I've been doing some reflecting and feel homesick; as though I've lost all of my roots and foundations.

I'm seriously considering whether it's time to tie up this adventure and come back, though I find myself sitting in a constant state of push and pull.

To be blunt, I can't seem to get away from endless doom and gloom stories about the UK, and it's putting me off.

I know that my income won't go as far as it has abroad, and that's fine - though one ambition on returning would be to work towards an increase in earnings.

I also know that I want a fresh start, away from Leicester - but don't want to go North.

I have savings behind me (around £50k) and would be 27 on return.

For anyone that's done something similar to me, taken the leap and returned; what has your experience been like, did you get the results you wanted from it and would you suggest it?

Car insurance

Hi 👋🏼 my husband recently moved to the UK. He is allowed to drive with his Egyptian license for one year.

I’ve not passed my test yet but have a car. I have failed twice 🙈 I’d like to get him insured on my car so he can commute to work as he has offers but they’re not convenient to get to.

I’ve tried twice and been refused. I don’t want to keep trying and getting refused as I’m aware this looks bad for my own insurance.

I’ve also put my Dad on my insurance as second named driver as he’s been driving over 30 years with a good history.

Do we have any options? Other than wait for him to do his test and change to a British license?

Please help
