I can't get a job because I live in the middle of nowhere and don't drive. No gym or any reason to go outside when living here. I want to move out but people won't allow me to rent anywhere without having a job. I have enough savings to pay for rent but that doesn't matter to them. So I'm losing money being in a place I hate. Also hate my family and this country.
I'm sorry you're having these issues. I cut my family off because they were toxic and breathing down my neck all the time. That was a decision that was right for me specifically, and I stand by it.
The rental market is tough at the moment - very few people I know actually own their own homes these days. The candidate criteria is starting to get strict as well - some of my colleagues had to prove their income was a minimum of three times the annual demand for rent.
Now, work wise. Not sure how you feel about these options, but you could look into roles that require a 24/7 "live-in" employee which negates the need to commute or rent:
That could potentially solve both the housing and job issue in one go, but as I say, those kinds of jobs aren't for everyone and this might not be right for you. Options 3 and 4 would get you out of the UK for most of the time.
