I have absolutely no idea how a couple working from scratch on a minimum wage can live in the UK.
Just to rent a flat you need at least 2 grand up front by the time you've paid the agent and the credit search fees..
The rent for a 2 bed flat was 750 quid 2 years ago..There goes your first months wage and you haven't even switched the light on.
(or gone shopping with what you haven't got left) (or paid your council tax)
Bugger this topic..too damned depressing ..
I think I`ll tough it out here for now.
