Britbongs, is it possible to live off £187 per week in London, after rent? Thats for everything, good, transport, entertainment. Might be living in zone 2 or 3

>> No.12077443

>>12077403
it's possible, you won't be living a good life, but it's possible

Also depends on the quality of your accomodation, I assume it'll be a sharehouse

Like I said, do-able, but your quality of life will be miserable with little to no savings in case of emergency

Mate I can spend £100-200 on a night out and not think much about it. £187 a week is pure poverty tier.

Are you happy being a poor person? Make some moves and get paid man

london is such a shithole, i dunno why anyone would voluntarily live there apart from having to go to work there

Ok so this is with a studio flat and 187NEETbux. I could theoretically try to.get some kind of job as well

Like all big cities its probably the worst place in the world to live being poor (and the best if youre rich), you'll be faced daily with every shade of violent mud person.
Depends on your ambitions or goals, you could live in any town you want on neetbux, if you want to work hard and earn money then the options are inthe city for you but it comes with a heavy price for 99% of the people who try.

After rent? yes. Supermarkets are pretty much the same prices as everywhere else. The worst thing is the rent.

Bongs I also have a question.

3d waifu may get stationed in England in the future. Are there any jobs I can do over there besides being a barhand etc? Can you be a cop without citizenship I was a Marine in the states and did a stint in Astan so not sure if that helps.

Pubs here are great btw!

>Can you be a cop without citizenship?
Sure...can you work? ie Visa...
Police work here is quite different, no speeding tickets, VERY few cops here, Not like the massive literally industry in Burgerland. Maybe you could be a plastic cop, ie Community support 'officers'.

Try to go to/live in the countryside btw

theres loads of jobs in London that are more start up orientated but good luck trying to get into the police academy, every other officer is a mason and i imagine being one is an important part of the job.

If you’ve got no mobility and require daily care, it would be a shit life anywhere in UK on 187 quid. Worse in London.

hey op londoner here. why the fuck are you getting a studio flat in zone 2? are you fucking retarded? just share a place with randomers. as long as you are a complete fucking disgusting smelly peace of shit you can live with some decent people. been living with 3 girls for the last 5 months slept with one of them 3 times, sometimes they go out and forget to lock their door so you can go in go through their stuff. if you smoke you can sell it to them for like 500% because they are fucking dumb and cant score shit themselves. win win. dont like with any guys tho. cant trust them. got to be man of the house ya know.
