UK is just doing an Argentina by the looks of it, I don't think it's beyond saving, of course, but I exited long ago, and I haven't had to worry about simple things like heating bills ever since.

i have to admit thought, there's a privilege element to it. my ability to exit and flourish in different countries is largely because I'm from the UK, when it comes to remote jobs or even in Russia, I could immediately just generate money teaching or doing whatever and would get away with it, simply because I was British.
