I did that. Ignoring the better weather, food, culture, transport, and public services, my disposable income relative to cost of living is much higher. (But what have the Romans ever done for us?)
- FirmwareBurner 3y agoTry living as a tax payer on local wages there, not as a tourist on UK wages for the food and the weather. There's a reason miles more young people move for work from the South of Europe to the UK and the only thing moving from the UK to the South of Europe are financially stable retirees for the food and the weather, not for work.
- Y_Y 3y agoI'm not a tax dodger, tourist or retiree, thanks. As you have kindly suggested I have been working for companies based here for several years. It's true that the average wages here are poor and that some people move in the direction opposite to my one, but I find your generalisation to be inaccurate and unreasonable.
