    This country is getting worse and worse

    Just had an email from my accountant that they take away any benefit from flat rate. That's about 2.4k a year less. Great.
    Dividend tax increased. Again few k a year less
    Pound tumbled ¬20%. Great. Iphones 100£ more expensive. Superb.
    Absolutely massive competition when looking for contract. 30-50 per role in my area. Great
    Want to build BTL empire? Think again.
    Invest in properties? Risky
    And now Brexit, rise of racism, massive uncertainty.

    Still good but not so great anymore
    I declare this bad times.

    Repeat to yourself 'but we're taking back control' 1000 times.

    Alles ist gut.

            When I was leaving Poland I was making equivalent of 800£ a month . 5 years later (today) my friend with way less experience is making 2000£ a month.

                    Because phones made out of brioche get soggy in the rain.
