The £ sign tells me you are trapped in the overpriced housing country, forced to watch Kirstie Allsop be all smug about house prices.

I wonder what if lots of people said f the rent, f the prices let's just go travelling, live in a caravan, enjoy life. Settle in an affordable country. Not be a sheep toiling away to pay for someone else's Ferrari.

I (European) have toyed with that idea but found camping sites very expensive. And the prices would go up if everyone did that.

There are sites that compare caravan vs. cheap flat and the cheap flat comes out ahead (Europe again).

The fundamental issue is that land prices are too high and every square inch is owned by someone.
