Apparently the reason people are struggling financially in the UK is because they have subscriptions and buy the occasional coffee.

Not because rent has doubled.

Not because food prices have gone through the roof.

Not because bills keep increasing every year.

No.

It's the £3.50 latte and subscriptions right?

I could stop buying coffee tomorrow.

I could cancel every subscription I own.

I could never order a takeaway again.

And I'd still be almost out of money 2 weeks after payday.

The problem isn't the coffee and subscriptions. It's the fact the cost of living isn't keeping up with wages.

@ZARA @ZARA_Care your Bromley store is a joke. Every time I go to buy something in there it’s covered in make up or dirt! Disgusting sort it out !

[Sam @Samg2930]

@marksandspencer so after last years saga of not being able to pick up an order for over a month I’ve notice every time since I’ve ordered to the Beckenham store my order gets delayed 🙄😤

I love how the solution to every financial problem in the UK is apparently:

"Stop buying coffee and cancel subscriptions"

Mate, I could give up coffee.

I could give up takeaways.

I could cancel Netflix.

I could start cutting my own fucking hair.

And I'd still be running out of money 2 weeks after payday.

The problem isn't the coffee or subscriptions.

The problem is wages aren't keeping up with the cost of living. It's not even close anymore.

@Sephora why is it so hard to contact someone to discuss an order

People saying WFH is bad haven’t truly experienced it.

Me waking up just 10 minutes before work with no hour-long commute. Finishing my workday without facing another hour of return traffic. Cooking my own meals and getting to spend time with my family. Now where is the downside in that ?!?!

WORKING FROM HOME ARGUMENT

I honestly can’t see the justification for making people return to the office if you are not customer facing/ front line staff

You want people to pay excessive amounts on travel, waste hours travelling for what ?

To sit next to you while you say 4 words all day.

For those who don’t do their work, monitor them and tell them they have to attend the office 4 days a week for a PIP and you’ll see how quickly they’ll improve…. but if someone’s is hitting targets and doing their work, while making it easier to be a better mother or father or carer to elderly parents, by being present doing the school run, attending after school activities on time and getting a home cooked meal prepared for their family why stop that ??

[Callum Lyon @CallumLyon]

We've reached the point in the UK where working full time doesn't actually mean anything anymore.

It used to mean stability. It used to mean you could afford a home, eat properly, maybe go away once a year and not panic if your car made a weird noise.

Now it just means nothing.

You wake up early, work all day, come home tired, and still somehow sit there wondering how you're going afford everything.

Rent is ridiculous. Bills are constant. Food prices change depending on the mood of the supermarket.

And wages? Basically frozen in time.

You're not lazy. You're not bad with money. You're just trying to survive in a system where everything goes up except what you get paid.

C’est des vieux, ils n’ont aucun respect pour les autres, ils sont partis en croisière, ils ont demandé à rentrer chez eux, ils retirent le masque pour se parler.

Mais on espère qu’ils respecteront les instructions de rester à domicile pendant 45jours ?
