    Your 8k in 2003 was about 14k in today’s market. That 8k was %25 of the total amount so your first buying the flat cost around $56,000 (2003) , $98,601(2025).

    £s not $s

    I want you to find a flat, house whatever that is Liviable for that price. 100k. Easy peasy right?

    Done. A 2 bedroom terrace 20 minutes from a major city.

    Oh, and minium wage for me at the time £4.50(around £9.10 in 2025), like I said. Its now £12.21.

    Is there anything else I can do for you? Perhaps, I can cut up your meat into nice little chewable squares for you??

      Conversion rate doesn’t give a fuck what symbol is in front of the number.

      You’re missing 2 bedrooms. Stay in the same story. Your story. Or did you shack up with your flatmates?

      Now explain to me how wages has inflated commensurately with housing prices. Go on try.

      By the way I’m proud of you for staying on topic.

      Good job.

      Keep your shity boiled meat. I’ll keep eating my flavorful bbq’d beef.
