@KhunPat27 Medical insurance and pension plan?

I left the UK. My rent, bills, council tax in Reading was 65% of my salary because I refused to house share. My vehicle costs took another 15%. Surviving. I live in Thailand. My rent and bills living in a 2 bed house on a tropical island are 11% of my salary. Living. Leave 🇬🇧

@KeruboSk it is a general attitude to work and life. Just get up and go. No procrastination. Does not get you anywhere.

Apparently there are people who wake up before their alarm… and just get up. Just one alarm. No snooze. No struggle. Explain yourselves. How do you do that?

@BarbellFi Same happened when the Internet appeared. Certain jobs went but new one were created. Same during the industrial revolution, etc. Got to stay competitive and adapt.

I’m scared about the next 12-18 months A LOT of 6 figure jobs will be eliminated Millions trying to find work in the worst job market since the Great Recession Carrying large mortgage payments I have no idea how this all will end But I know it’s not going to end well 😔

@micheal_ws18 The types of food I eat

To all my gym goers… What’s the one exercise that changed your physique the most? 💪🏾

@Lillie_blueeyes @christianmiele Nein. Macht die KI jetzt schon.

@christianmiele IT wird weiter benötigt, nicht nur Elektriker, auch Programmierer, Elektroniker

Aus der Thesenmottenkiste: Ihr wollt euren heute noch schulpflichtigen Kindern einen zukunftssicheren Job nahelegen? Elektriker. Kein anderes Gewerk wird Deutschland in den kommenden 15 Jahren mehr fehlen. Der Elektriker sitzt am Ende jeder Transformationskette. Ohne ihn passiert nichts. Die Zahlen: 1.) 500.000 Wärmepumpen/Jahr — jede braucht Elektroanschluss 2.) 1 Mio. Ladepunkte bis 2030 3.) 215 GW Solar bis 2030 (heute: ~82 GW) 4.) Kompletter Verteilnetz-Umbau 5.) Rechenzentren für AI-Infrastruktur 6.) Jede Fabrikautomation, jeder Roboter Gleichzeitig: 250.000 offene Handwerksstellen heute. Babyboomer gehen 2025–2035 in Rente. Ausbildung dauert 3,5 Jahre. Und der entscheidende Punkt: Anders als IT-Jobs lässt sich das nicht remote lösen, nicht nach Indien outsourcen und erst ganz am Ende durch AI ersetzen. Der Elektriker muss physisch vor Ort sein, in jeder Stadt, bei jedem Projekt. Die deutsche Energiewende, der Infrastrukturumbau, die Reindustrialisierung, sie alle scheitern oder gelingen an der Verfügbarkeit von Elektrohandwerkern.

@bundeskanzler Ölpreis bei 102 Dollar heute früh und steigend..

Wir werden uns nicht daran beteiligen, in der Straße von Hormus mit militärischen Mitteln eine freie Schifffahrt zu gewährleisten. Der Krieg im Nahen Osten ist nicht Angelegenheit der NATO. Deshalb wird sich Deutschland auch nicht militärisch einbringen.

@rayaddisonlive Simple: The increase and complexity in patients has not been matched by increase in doctors, nurses, etc. Same here in Germany.

Hellish day in A&E. The doctors and nurses are working flat out but the constant stream of patients is just too much. When I was a kid if you went to A&E you saw people with broken arms and bloody eye patches, things cut off or sticking out of their head. Today it was just people who couldn't get a GP appointment. Why do we not have enough doctor's surgeries in this country? Is it financially unviable to run one, too expensive to become a GP, or no longer a sought after career? What the hell is going on?

@drpenking There is a motorway between Manchester and Madrid. And a ferry for crossing the Channel...

I’m tired of pretending . How did Manchester City bus from England get to Madrid in Spain?

@HarryStebbings So you are saying we should not study medicine? Who will fix you up in ten years if you have accident?

University has never been more worthless. Curriculums are unable to keep up with the speed of AI. Do not waste three of your most productive years of your life, gaining debt to learn skills that will be obsolete by the time you leave.

@Roadman_Podcast The new Trainer Road AI is in my humble opinion great. They have their own algorithm and not Chat GPT. I have been using TR for 12 years. The new one gives me workouts that are challenging but doable. And for that price unbeatable.

Ai coaching sucks, that's all

@Roadman_Podcast Every sport has great talents who dominate the sports for years. Formula One had Schuhmacher, Hamilton, Verstaapen. Tennis had Federer. That is just the way it is and we should enjoy his performances and not winge about it all the time.

Is Pogacar good for cycling? A harsh question, I know... But is Pogacar good for cycling? I came home from riding yesterday morning, excited to watch the finale of Strade, but when I turned it on with 50km to go, the outcome was already decided. I understand we're maybe watching the making of the GOAT, but i can't help but feel like it's spoiling the spectacle.

@Reuters You have to choose your degree carefully and choose something that will give you a job prospect at the end.

Average student debt at graduation is nearly $40,000 in the US and more than £50,000 in the UK. As fears grow that AI could replace white-collar jobs, more young people are asking whether a degree is still worth the cost

@barkmeta If I would be in my early twenties, I would learn a trade or join the military as an engineer or similiar technician. Free housing, good pay check, no AI threat. And they cannot draft you because you are already in the military but in a non-combative but important role.

The life of Gen Z: - College degree is worthless - Rent is half your paycheck - AI is replacing your job - Houses cost 20x your salary - WW3 started and you might get drafted - Boomers asking why you're stressed

@barneyxbt There is no plan B.

somebody explain to me what regular people are supposed to do when AI takes their job and everything still costs more every month. what’s the actual plan here because i haven’t heard one

@Schuldensuehner Paying your rent whilst you earn is not a problem. When you retire and your monthly 'income' drops by 50%, the same rental fee is difficult to finance. So get a mortgage, pay it off before 67 and you are covered for retirement.

Good Morning from Germany, where retirees face one of Europe’s widest pension gaps. The avg annual public pension (€19,138) falls far short of estimated living costs for over-60s (€28,663) – a 33% shortfall, one of the highest in Europe. Housing is the key driver: 34% of senior spending goes to rent, and ~60% of Germans >65 are tenants; leaving many exposed to rising rents, unlike homeowners in Eastern Europe where property acts as an “invisible second pension.”

@BBCNewsnight my daughter got a student loan to study law. The terms and conditions we signed were very clear and easy to understand on interest rates, repayments, etc. And if you cannot repay it in full ,it will get written off after a period of time.

“How much did you borrow?” “£84,000...” “…how much do you owe now?” “£110,000” Max Linford discusses how much his student loan has risen despite paying off £8000 since graduating in 2023. #Newsnight

@MartinSLewis Start an ETF savings plan as soon as you can. Start small and aim for 10% of your monthly income. Do not waste your money on expensive fashion products. Buy Nike stocks rather than expensive Nike sneakers.

TELL US: What had no one warned you about when your retired, that you would now warn others about? Please post your replies here, and do like your faves, and podcast producer Simon will collate those to be read out.

@velovelovelo__ The difference is that now he had real competition on the climbs compared to the earlier races in Mallorca

@incentivising @infodexx 42% is max tax rate in Germany for incomes above 80k

@infodexx Funny thing about Germany: at 18,7k/month, you would be taxed somewhere in the 50% area. So you basically only make 9,7k/month.

Income Needed to Be in the Top 1% in Each European Country 💰 🇭🇷 Croatia — €5.2k/month 🇦🇱 Albania — €5.3k/month 🇬🇷 Greece — €9.2k/month 🇨🇿 Czechia — €9.0k/month 🇭🇺 Hungary — €9.6k/month 🇧🇬 Bulgaria — €9.6k/month 🇱🇻 Latvia — €9.7k/month 🇪🇪 Estonia — €10.4k/month 🇷🇸 Serbia — €10.4k/month 🇵🇹 Portugal — €10.5k/month 🇵🇱 Poland — €11.8k/month 🇪🇸 Spain — €12.2k/month 🇷🇴 Romania — €13.0k/month 🇱🇹 Lithuania — €13.1k/month 🇮🇹 Italy — €14.1k/month 🇫🇷 France — €14.6k/month 🇫🇮 Finland — €14.6k/month 🇸🇪 Sweden — €14.7k/month 🇳🇱 Netherlands — €16.1k/month 🇩🇰 Denmark — €17.3k/month 🇧🇪 Belgium — €17.3k/month 🇬🇧 United Kingdom — €17.5k/month 🇩🇪 Germany — €18.5k/month 🇨🇭 Switzerland — €18.7k/month 🇦🇹 Austria — €18.7k/month 🇮🇪 Ireland — €22.6k/month 🇳🇴 Norway — €25.9k/month 🇱🇺 Luxembourg — €57.9k/month

@Roadman_Podcast You did not train like Pogi. Your power zones are not like his.

I Trained Like A Pogacar & Vingegaard For 60 Days
