I recently bought a mid-spec Macbook Pro for £3100 to replace the mid-spec 15" Macbook Pro I bought in 2017 for £2200, which replaced the mid-spec one I bought in 2013 for £1900. Salaries in many jobs in the UK have barely increased in

Not the same thing as those mentioned in the article, but I went self employed because it became increasingly difficult to find any salary progression in full time employment in the UK. Several years on and I make in 3 days a week what simi

It doesn’t erase the gap, but it’s worth mentioning the cost of living here is much lower than a lot of hubs in the US. For example, I live less than an hour from London and my total monthly outgoings (including a mortgage) are less than £2

I doubt it's a once every few decades event anymore. It got to 38 in several places in the country a few years ago. It seems to get up to the mid 30s every year now.
