Geez, that's expensive!

Health care. I know it's something that people in most countries hardly have to worry about, but in the United States, health care is unreasonably pricey.
 
College tuition. Seriously, they kept increasing the cost every year.

Housing. The prices are ridiculous.

+1 on that. Seems to be a problem in a lot of Western countries, unfortunately. Not sure how the market is for the rest of the world.

Single people are well and truly fucked in the UK. Almost impossible to get onto the property ladder, especially in London.
 
Food at amusement parks or concession stands.

I wish seafood wasn't so expensive - I would fish and shellfish over any other type of meat every day if it was more affordable!
 
Rent and gas (petrol) is thru the roof. Latey food has gotten similar. It's simply too much inflation.

I have a friend who lives in London and pays € 1,150 a month for a tiny flat. I don't know how anyone can afford to live there.

Seafood isn't too bad over here in terms of price. The problem is getting your hands on the fancy stuff like crabs. I have to travel a bit and wake up early to get some which I can't be bothered to do

Yeah, it's absurd. You can't afford a mortgage because everything is priced so high. And then you can't really rent either because the prices in London are a joke.

What's the solution then? Perhaps finding a place and then getting a roommate to split half the costs would work?

That or just living with your parents until you can get on the property ladder.

I read there are things first-time buyers can be doing to help make the jump onto the property ladder easier, like saving cash into a Lifetime ISA (LISA). If you’re aged 18-39, it could help you save towards your first home.

Have you ever heard of this?
