Context for me: UK native (specifically Northern Ireland which is quite different-- hold Irish passport), 30F involved in progressive politics and LGBTQIA+ community quite prominently, 10+ years experience in customer service & care work/mental health support, a Masters degree (in Classics, so useless lmao), and PGCert --not full teaching degree. I have no kids or planned kids, just a few cats.
Hello, I appreciate this is a very complex question and much to do with my own preferences but I have not ever been into economics or even really politics so I wanted to ask in case there were obvious options I've not noticed using the basic terms when searching. I just wondered-- have I been missing a country that is more suited to my needs/wants in life and a place where I could contribute more than I do here?
Basic 'needs' in a home would be:
-have 2 bedrooms and storage space either attic or room out the back/front of home to add a shed
-be at least 0,3km from main roads/nearest roads have a speed limit (30mph) to protect cats
-not in the middle of a terrace or an apartment block
Basic 'needs' in a job/income:
-salary wise at least £20-30 extra per month (post bills) to save and potentially have the same amount for trivial spends
-work somewhere that is supportive to potential neurodivergence/constant socialising with other colleagues is not going to be too important
-work in a field not relying on hard sales, i.e. cold calling or convincing people to sign up for subscriptions or products that they don't need to
Generally:
-live somewhere that has democratic laws especially regarding LGBTQIA+ people and reproductive rights (i.e. if I needed to get a termination within 16 weeks, I should be able to or at least mail order pills if terminating within 10)
Apologies for the length, I am unsure what is relevant to include here for my own context. In general for anyone similar to me, though, I would just be interested in a variety of opinions. You can either suggest other places I'd maybe suit living in, or simply suggest other ways I could perceive/adjust to the current situation in the UK. Thanks.
