£14.10 an hour is now considered the Real Living Wage in Britain.
That's around £27,500 a year for someone working 37.5 hours a week, before tax.
Now imagine you're single. One wage paying the rent, council tax, gas, electric, food, travel, insurance and everything else life throws at you.
No second income. Nobody to split the bills with. How are single people actually supposed to survive on that
I’m 28 and still live with my parents.
I help with the bills.
I help around the house.

Rent is ridiculous. Buying a home feels impossible.
Saving money on one income is getting harder every year.
People call it failure.
I call it doing the best I can while taking care of the people who raised me.
There’s no shame in living with your parents.
@Greangrass333@ChelseaDan5 I wouldn’t saying our minimum wage is being paid properly. But I agree customers should not be punished for it. Extortion from businesses is getting ridiculous
@edgesurfer_ Just spoke to a Catholic guy from new lodge (a famous republican council estate) he says he’s against a united Ireland. English people need to stop sticking their nose in
@scullionONsport Need intermediate matches in a Friday night or Saturday 11am, more deals on tickets each week not the £15 shite, more community engagement, investment for media teams and ground staff at the part-time clubs. This league has such a potential to grow.
If a plane plunges dramatically as reported by @SkyNews , at what stage do oxygen masks descend? In the celebratory scenes inside the plane there didn't seem to be any
