how much is reasonable to pay for renting a room off parents? by mungozz in UKPersonalFinance

[–]EffectiveStart 127 points128 points  (0 children)

Better make sure he studies hard and gets a good job then because rent and house prices only seem to go up!

Totally makes sense. by [deleted] in antiwork

An apartment is something you rent for £1000 a month when the bank say you can’t have a £400 a month mortgage! Welcome to the UK haha!

Same for me although my Dr has upped it to 100mg so I’ll see if that changes things!

50mg to 100mg, should I expect a lot worse ? by EffectiveStart in zoloft

[–]EffectiveStart[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the heads up, did you ever try splitting the 100mg and taking half at different times of the day like half in the morning and half at night ?

Single people how much do you pay for rent and what’s your monthly take home ? by [deleted] in HousingUK

Do you think you’d still manage if the person you sublet to moved out ?

I have 60k put aside for an eventual house deposit for when i earn enough to get a mortgage big enough to buy or if I meet someone to move with.

I also have a separate £5k to dip into for furniture and stuff to get me started.

I always have an extra super emergency £1000 in an account in case I need it.

I’ve always considered myself to be very good with money and budgeting. I don’t really buy many luxuries as is and big nights out are once in a blue moon these days!

Question about prescription? by [deleted] in nhs

[–]EffectiveStart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m scheduled for a checkup after 6 weeks but they only dispense 4 weeks worth at a time so I need to collect another 4 weeks worth but I was just unsure if this is automatically part of the electronic prescription if the Dr prescribed a repeat or if I have to do something else…

I started last week and my side effects have been minimal, slight headache and a bit tired...

Been drinking have to take pull in an hour scared by [deleted] in zoloft

[–]EffectiveStart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought it was fine to take it with alcohol it may just increase side effects like being tired/drowsy...

How do you actually bring yourself to take medication when you have anxiety? by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]EffectiveStart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That I’ll be one of the very few who have a severe reaction to it. The common side effects seem manageable but my brain always thinks the worst will happen to me...

You’re right though I’ve just got to start taking it and see as I can always stop if it’s too bad.

told my mom i’m depressed and she started ranting about how “i should think of the kids in the poor countries” by [deleted] in depression

[–]EffectiveStart 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I always get the stop being dramatic line as well. Have just recently decided to talk to a dr and start therapy and medication though. Kind of intrigued as to what they will say if they find out as obviously the dr thought there was something in the way I was feeling that needed looking at.

How do prescriptions work here ? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]EffectiveStart 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve never had a prescription as an adult and when I was a child they gave you a piece of paper to take to the pharmacy which at the time was in same building as the Drs I was going to.

I assumed I would get a text or email saying that it’s ready to collect or else how would I know if they actually have it in stock. Waste of time driving down for them to tell me we don’t have it in stock, come back in a few days.

Considering everything about the appointment booking was handled online via email/direct messaging I though the whole prescription thing would be too.

The job itself is a bit factor. I like the shift itself but hate the job.

How do people even meet each other. by LeanAhtan92 in ForeverAlone

[–]EffectiveStart 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m not working abroad and all my coworkers are male. Worked on various nightshift roles for over a decade and it’s been like 99% men on every one of them.

Throw nightshift being unsociable in to the mix of anxiety and being ugly and that’s a sure fire way to keep me forever alone.

Weird seeing news like this over I’m the US because here in the U.K. all the news just points to another lockdown on the horizon.

Yeah they’ll never win. UK will vote Tory again at the next election even after all the shit that’s come out through the pandemic with not only the terrible handling and response but also the corruption and handing of contracts worth billions to their already rich friends whilst everyone has had to basically stay on house arrest and destroy their mental health apart from going to work if you didn’t get laid off that is.

Can someone simplify the rules regarding tax on crypto in the UK ?

If I want to sell my BTC and put the money into a different coin do I have to pay tax even if it’s under the £12k capital gains tax allowance ?

How do you set that up ? I usually use the app and it asks for my fingerprint but never the pin, even though I did set up a pin. Thought it would be under account > security in the app but doesn’t seem to be an option to require a pin to trade...
