THE TELEGRAPH: At this rate, we are bound to keep losing our young people to far-flung parts of the world
Another day and another friend reveals they are preparing to jump ship and head abroad to seek their fortune. It’s not hard to see why.
Outside of a job in the City of London, Magic Circle of law firms or professional services giants, the quality of life for most young professionals has stalled. » | Sam Brodbeck, Money Advice Editor | Saturday, December 14, 2024
This country is ONE BIG MESS. Money is tight for so many. Enjoyment is a thing of the past. You can't even smoke a cigarette for a little pleasure here anymore. The thought police and behaviour police are everywhere around. Food is so expensive Energy is unaffordable for so many. House prices have gone through the roof, so have become unaffordable for all but the privileged. (Who'd want to be young again?) All I ever do now is stay at home and do my own thing. Who wants to mix with miserable, judgmental people? One could go on and on. But that is enough to get a flavour of my thoughts on the matter. In short, you can't do this, you can't say that, and you can't afford the other. If I were younger, I'd be out of this hellhole in a heartbeat. – © Mark Alexander
