[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve lived in the UK and was struck by the low standard of living- unless you come from money.[/quote]

Middle class people live like LMC/working class here.  Dh is British and MC and when we got married I moved to UK.  Although I visited many times it didn't really sink in until I lived there.  Everything is expensive and crappy and people just have a low standard for everything- food quality, service, clothing quality, crowds, cleanliness, just everything.[/quote]

I found the same thing honestly when I moved from Texas to California in the late 90s.
At that time, a home that was worth $350K in California would not have been worth more than $80K in Texas. And likewise, someone in California could have sold that $350K 1100 square foot 3 bedroom 1 bath home and easily bought a 6-7 bedroom 5000 square foot home in Texas.
Things are more expensive in the UK, but my first impression when I see homes that regular people live in there is that it looks small and rundown and not nearly as nice as what you could get for your money in the US[/quote]
