@financewithafshin: POV: You finally get a job and think you can afford to move out 😭😂 UK minimum wage in 2026: 40 hours a week = £2,203 a month BEFORE deductions. After Income Tax, NI and pension? 💷 Around £1,810 take-home. Then reality hits: 🏠 Rent: £1,000 💡 Bills: £295 🚌 Bus: £105 🛒 Food: £250 🧴 Essentials: £55 👕 Other basics: £45 🏦 Emergency savings: £60 LEFT OVER: £0 💀 And that’s WITH your parents still paying your phone bill 😭 Imagine working full time and having nothing left after basic living costs. These are illustrative costs for someone renting alone in England. Actual expenses and deductions vary. Could you afford to move out on minimum wage in your area? Tell me your city and what a one bedroom flat costs there 👇 Not financial advice. #MinimumWage2026 #UKCostOfLiving #MovingOutUK #UKMoney #MoneyTok

If you’re on minimum wage, you HAVE to be living with someone else and share rent

they need to increase the personal allowance, if you're on minimum wage you shouldn't have to pay so much tax

it's called minimum wage because it's the minimum the employer is allowed to pay you. nothing to do with minimum requirements to live

And then they put minimum wage up only to increase all the groceries again.. so people who were on slightly above minimum wage and struggling, suddenly got no pay rise but a cost of living rise 👍

minimum wage has raised by 60% since 2019, we all going to agree at some point soon that raising minimum wage doesnt help anyone?

Technically, it DOES. You just have nothing left for anything else.

You quite literally just described how it meets the minimum requirements for living, and then chose to end this video by claiming that it doesn't 😂

as I tell my adult nieces and nephews, living alone is a privilege people can no longer afford. house shares for everyone unfortunately.
