£169.50 a year to watch the BBC.
You can't legally own a TV in this country without paying it, even if you only watch Netflix.
The BBC pays its top presenters over £1M a year and they've been caught lying about basic facts for the last decade.
Try not paying the licence fee and you'll end up in court. The presenters never face the same consequence for getting it wrong.

You'll work for roughly 45 years. The state pension is £11,500 a year. After 45 years of paying into the system, they'll give you £958 a month.
Rent on a one-bed flat: £750. Energy: £190. Council tax: £165. Food for one: £250. Phone: £30.
That's £1,385 in basic costs. Your pension covers £958.
You're £427 short. Every single month. After 45 years of work. That's the retirement they promised you.

The UK is the only country in Europe where earning more can leave you worse off.
Get a pay rise from £99K to £104K and after losing tax-free childcare, your personal allowance taper and child benefit, your take-home actually drops.
We have built a tax system that quietly punishes you for working harder and we call it 'fair.'

His April caption was "rinse and repeat the lessons learned in this campus." Multiple payments landing throughout the first week. Cupping business payments, credit transfers, different income streams all from skills he picked up inside TRW.
If you want to learn how to stack multiple income streams, check my bio.

University is a 3-year holiday that costs £50k and teaches you how to write essays about things that won't make you money. The most successful people I know either dropped out or never went. The rest spent their early twenties learning to drink and came out the other side with a certificate that HR glances at for 3 seconds before asking about experience.

Nearly 1 in 3 UK adults aged 20-34 still live with their parents.
Not because they want to. Because the average rent in any city worth living in eats over half of a graduate salary, and they need every pound they're saving just to have a chance at a deposit before they're 40.

Your savings account pays 4% interest. Inflation is running at 5.5%. Your money is losing purchasing power every single month while sitting in the bank.
Your £10,000 in savings will buy you £9,850 worth of stuff next year. The year after that, less. Every year you "save responsibly" you're getting quietly poorer.
And your bank sends you an email celebrating your £33 monthly interest like it's a win.

You walked through your old high street last week.
Wilko's gone. WHSmith is gone. There's a row of vape shops on one street. A few more are Turkish barbers. There's a kebab shop where the Argos used to be. Half the units have 'TO LET' in the window.
The town centre your parents grew up in doesn't exist anymore.

@rawespresso Yep, but our parents grew up not having internet and access to online shopping either. I'm as guilty as the next person, but online shopping has destroyed the high street.

This lying charalatan can't provide one example where BBC presenters were "caught lying about basic facts"

You say you'd do anything to leave your 9-5. But the price is spending your evenings learning instead of watching Netflix, failing publicly while your mates watch, and putting in 6 months of work before seeing a single £1. Most people want the result. Very few actually want the process.
