As inflations bite hard in the United Kingdom, this 5 best towns to live in and save money blog post will help you in your relocation journey.
If you live modestly in a not-expensive part of the United Kingdom, you will save a lot in rent and the general cost of living.
My primary considerations are jobs, safety and cheap transportation costs with excellent transportation links.
So many cities in the UK might have cheap accommodation; however, transportation links and network costs might be fleeting what they earned in their low-paid jobs. You can read about how to live frugally and save money – HOW TO LIVE FRUGALLY AND SAVE MONEY – 10 WAYS – womiba (womibablog.com)
Often, many international students don’t consider transportation and safety costs compared to the income expected from their low-paid job.
There are other places like Sheffield, Dundee, Middlesborough and Wolverhampton. The rooms are priced based on rooms in shared accommodation.
However, the transportation cost to move around within the same town is expensive for what it’s worth. If you live in the cities mentioned above, you most likely need to get a car to get around to save costs.
Paying bills and utilities as a student is not easy as the cost of learning and passing driving tests is enormous.
