Default Living in the UK... expensive, expensive, expensive?

Does anybody find that they are struggling to cope in ths country with rising prices and costs of living. I feel that I am being priced out in every area:- Unable to afford a new car.- Unable to go on holiday.- Unable to start a family (costs of buying baby equipment etc).- Unable to make home improvements.- Unable to afford a private pension.- Unable to afford private medical insurance and dental care.There are many other things but I could go on all day. Anybody else find themselves in this situation.

I have plenty cash, but then I don't waste my cash on going out at the weekend and getting hammered or any of the other useless things most people do spend their money on.

Every one lives to their means, if you got a sudden huge pay rise, you would still have trouble affording things. Every penny is always accounted for and there is hardly anything left for pleasure. It's always been like this especially now. I'm thinking of moving abroad.

No we are O.K zabe, but then we don't go out drinking or smoking, etc. But yes things do seem to be getting more expensive, don't know how young newly weds manage to cope. Especially when they have kids too.But with many people it doesn't matter how much you've got you'll always want more, and what you've got is never enough.
