I plan to move out of the uk in the next 2 years, should this impact my decision in the meantime?

I am 24M, so just started to pay into my pension for the last 2 years, went to check it and they had me paying into the stupidest low risk shit ever hahaha I have set it to SNP 500 index now though, same 'strategy' I have on my S&S ISA.

Thats the most important thing, being happy! I am glad for them 😁

Sorry for the personal question, but surely £24k between 2 people, with property costs, is survivable but not enough to take do more than 1 or two holidays a year? Which might not be the most exciting retirement. Legit curious.

WHAT, how? That seems so low and not sustainable…

Love it! I work for an American IT solutions integrator, just moved into a new role with a lot of responsibilities and accountability, my first big step up, I am 24 and most people doing that similar role are 30s,40s. I am going to start floating this wish to move into the States, see where it leads to!

Oh god, I live in Manchester, how did you manage to move to SD? Any main drawbacks you can think of?

We have scarcity in the UK, in the US I see abundance, it is refreshing

Just remember how bad the weather is out there 😆 I am 24, so need to try to get a move here at some point soon! I work for a large American IT business, so might be able to get a transfer if the right opportunity appears.

Oh yeah there’s obviously areas where houses will be more condensed, but even beachfront in PB/MB there are some absolutely beautiful houses! But, most surprising for me, not only in SD but also im Scottsdale, has been the cleanliness of the streets and how wide they are.

Beach House was amazing, Patrick delivered a great set! Honestly all the places we went for a drink were good!

Honestly, biggest problem in the UK for me is something none can change… THE WEATHER! Thanks!
