Compared to the US, the cost of living in Europe is much higher.

Food and accomodation are the killers, but small things compare badly as well. Like hotel rooms (where you pay per person, not per room). Petrol (gas) is wickedly expensive here. Reckon on about $5 a gallon in the UK.

I live in London and spend quite a bit of time in the US. I know that my pounds don't go as far in the US as they used to, but they still go a lot further than they do at home.

A pair of Nike trainers that I can buy in the US for $40 or less will cost me $130 or so here.

Restaurants don't know about endless cups and bottomless glasses. You pay for each drink individually.

Levi jeans can cost $100 a pair.

You get the picture!

If you are serious about moving to the UK, and location is not an issue (on the Internet, who cares where you are based), then go for a rural town in the North of the country. Property prices will be far lower.

Buying a house in London will likely bankrupt you!

If you want to chat more about the UK, email me. You know the address.

Best wishes,
