    You're so right! The list goes on from the bills, the taxes, cost of childcare, the weather, the stress from work, high cost of living. But in all, I think what keeps people going is focusing on the positives.

    You have just reminded about the three days I spent in Jos in 2010. I honestly attended Mass without taking my bathe. It feels like living overseas too.
    It's a lonely lifestyle in the UK though its still better than living in Saudi Arabia. Bills are nothing to write home about.
    No streets foods but there are Nigerian recipes in UK but my sister nothing of Nigerian food is here oooooo God abeg take me our of here. Childcare is another big deal that's why most nursing mothers bone working for about 2-3 years .

    Since you have a husband that supports with the bills, Is it still difficult to meet up with Bill's and still have enough to save??
    Comparing with the Nigeria scenario, getting the average salary in Nigeria and sorting bills, and getting an average salary in the UK and sorting bills, which do you prefer???

And people help each other as well in America. Their culture is more "open minded".

    Elaborate more because I’m moving to the Uk to come struggle. No matter what, I think living there is way more better than in Nigeria. You think working in a Pos shop is better than just doing any random job there in the Uk? 20k salary, lol that’s like 25 euros you’re making monthly in Nigeria and yet we still survive. So how comes living in Uk is difficult compared to the difficultly you’re already facing in Nigeria.
