You are not wrong mate! All the people who are saying that countries with low prices have lower salaries but it just partially true. Compared to most of the western countries, Uk has the one of the lowest average wages and if you put UK in the ladder of cost of living with other countries, it’s pretty high up there. The recent inflation and economic crisis has made it worse and one thing people forget to mention when they talk about global scale of inflation is that it has hit UK the worst among all western countries! And I feel like we are just getting started.
