00:00 I was definitely struggling. I was living in Blackburn and I was working in Blackburn
00:05 and my landlord put my rent up by £100 a month. You know, the area was absolutely
00:11 brilliant where I was living but I just can't see how he could justify an extra £100 a month.
00:19 So really I've seen myself as being financially evicted.
00:23 For me, luckily they haven't increased, for example, my rent but obviously to get in by

00:39 they keep increasing. Electricity and water bills skyrocketed. So I live with my girlfriend so for
00:48 me it's impossible if I was living by myself. I'm not personally, no, I'm not personally,
00:54 I'm quite alright. I know the people that are but I think a lot of it to do is as well the lifestyle.
