Kinda does feel like every time I get to a milestone in life, the ladder has just been pulled up a few years prior

I think you'll find a lot of pensioners in the UK are struggling and have been for many years:
If you rely on just the UK State Pension, it's not easy - perhaps Helen McCarthy should try living on only the State Pension amount for 6 months?
Those of us living a "comfortable retirement" have achieved that by paying in to company and private pensions.

General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
