Deja vu aint it, but you used to tell me where you were that the cost of living was more expensive than the UK, yet over here I found it 30% cheaper

I'm not even going that road again:zzz: nooooooooooooooooooooo!

as i said it depends on lifestyle and how much you have to begin with, for me I have much more disposable income now.

If I was to buy what I did there here, it would be cheaper here, for sure.

Yes I wasn't joking, that really is what the normal conclusion is.
But of course you can spend a lot more if you try hard
