£35,000 a year in the UK in 2026 puts you in the lower class.

15 years ago it was a comfortable graduate salary that bought you a decent flat, a few holidays a year, a savings habit, and the realistic prospect of a house.

Today it gives you take-home of about £2,200 a month. Rent on a one-bed in any city worth living in starts at £1,200. Council tax £170. Energy and bills £300. Food £400. Travel £200. That's £2,270, before you've bought a single thing for pleasure.

You're behind on day one of every month.

The wage hasn't moved much in real terms in 15 years. The cost of everything around it has roughly doubled.

Every wage bracket has shifted up by one rung — the £35K that put you firmly in the middle class 15 years ago barely keeps you afloat now, and the salaries that used to count as struggling are quietly slipping into poverty.

The official conversation hasn't caught up.

Anyone calling this an 'economy that works for ordinary people' isn't talking to many ordinary people.

When you feel like giving up, just remember the reason why you held on for so long.

Life is worth living, for the special moments that can be cherished together.

You’re loved and people want you in their life.

Being financially comfortable is enough for me. I dont have to be the richest, I just want to always be able to eat what I want , go where I want , pay my bills on time and give my kids a great life

He’s had 2 and a half years to tell his story. He was questioned for hours by the police, a judge and barristers during which he was given a platform in crown court to explain himself. There is only one side of the story and that side was proven in court. Open your eyes.

Social media has everyone rushing their goals. Remember comparison is a thief of joy.

It’s actually crazy the amount of abuse Prince Harry gets for literally just standing up for his wife like any real man should do, but yet he’s more spoken about and hated than the sexual predator Prince Andrew who has been allowed back into the royal family.
