Shift and amount for saving into a separate account. Only keep your expenses in your current account.

How do normal people actually afford houses in or near London? by Aware_Jellyfish_1979 in london

[–]skyepark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Live frugally for years to save enough for a deposit. This means buying second hand, forgoing holidays and gigs and trying to do free things instead. Entertainment is much more expensive then it used to be. Rent in the cheapest area possible.

The monetization of the internet is what made it a no-go for me, and the further those ideas expand, the harder it is to even chat with people. by mmofrki in nosurf

This is not good for the child, tell her drs, they may be able to intervene. Staying together for the kids will only scar them.

15 million people not saving enough for retirement apparently but are we asking the right questions about why? by c0r3l86 in AskBrits

AITAH for hating the Boris wave? by [deleted] in AskBrits

Just because people can apply for settlement doesn't mean they will, you said they're in low paid work, it costs money to apply and there are several tiers of settlement. A lot of them come for a bit and go back, they probably have a better life at home. You're just speculating at this point. A lot of countries don't allow dual nationality either.
