Very wise words Ilona I totally agree with you. Honestly sometimes I think the world has gone mad! I hate that the banks and shops are closing, it is awful and very worrying. I like to go to the shops and choose my own food/clothing etc not buy online/order in. I only buy online as a last resort if I am unable to purchase an item in the shops. Anyway, cheers, I always enjoy a cuppa with you. 😊

I rely on myself. Make my own choices and decisions in this life. Advice from others is good yes, but in the end We are all responsible for ourselve's This quote I read sums it up. "I dont go around hating everyone I meet. I have friends. I do trust. But mankind as a whole, nu-uh. It's an animal. A cruel animal. Truer words have yet to be spoken.

Unfortunately the DWP administers the State Pension and they will soon have the right to look into the bank accounts of those in receipt of it. The state pension is not means tested and we have to work to receive it. However, the government have just invented another way to snoop on their citizens-bear in mind that almost everyone who reaches pension age is going to get a pension. 😡

All very Americanised this you tube business..... to generate their own popularity.... all very samey... being honest I have unsubscribed to a lot recently as it is very obvious the contributors are being pressurised by YT and becoming repetitive... At least with channels like yours, one knows there is going to be a bit of conversation and not the constant 'product reviews' of loads of old tat.... 🤣 This country has been asset stripped for years , by stealth...... steel/textiles/manufacturing/ pharmaceuticals etc etc..... the country hasn't invested... Foreign investors came along, took all the subsidies successive Govt threw at them and when the subsidies ended the foreign 'investors' took the intellectual property and went or threatened to close places .... We had the skills we had the intellectual base now the population has been dumbed down...even the schools are falling apart... all wasted opportunity...

Love watching your videos. There is a lot I agree with you on in this video but must question two things you've said. 1. You said people should free themselves of debt and be solvent so they're not reliant on govt or others. Totally agree. However, you've previously said your only income is the state pension. Supposing the govt of the day decided to abolish the state pension, what would you do then? Would you not be better off with a private pension which the state can't control? Can you be truly solvent if you're reliant solely on a state pension, even if it is your money and you have paid in? 2. You regularly talk about the importance of freedom and liberty - totally agree with you. But in this video you say that only people who are disabled should shop online. Is that not removing people's right to freedom? I personally prefer to shop online than in-person, is that not my choice? Does it impact on your life if you choose to shop in-person and I choose to shop online? Surely we should have the choice as an important part of our freedoms?
@meanqueensuperscrimper8908
9 ай бұрын
I don't think they will abolish the state pension just yet. When they stop printing money the country may eventually become bankrupt, as will most of the western world. I am a survivor, I will find a way. You read something into the shop on line statement. Disabled people who cannot walk, and need a carer in the home, would benefit from shopping on line. You can chose to shop online if you want to.

He is not linked to either of the big parties, so I believe, maybe he is. We need someone who is independent here. I watch the German in Venice Beach. Very entertaining and he tells it like it is. We have to hope that the mess will come crashing down. Some people are waking up, but not enough. I hope you have a lovely Christmas. ilona

There are fewer jobs now as one could always get a shop job bit lots self service. Dole for a single person is 80pw so to be honest this is not a lot to live on for all bills and food.

Fear not Sarah. Go with your gut instincts, do what is best for you. Work out a budget, money in and money out. What bills do you have to pay, which expenses can you be flexible with. Where can you save a few pennies here and there, and how can you earn a bit extra with a side hustle. It's all about balance.
