With UK student loans, you only pay back when you start earning a certain amount. It also gets written off after a certain amount of years - I believe student debt in America never gets written off.

It should've mentioned that our student debt is different to America's. You only pay back a percentage of what you earn over a threshold (£25k), and if you haven't paid it all off after 30 years the debt is wiped.

* Ireland are part of the uk all over here* 😂😂😂 They’re all part of Europe Fen!

Excellent comparison of both countries. Great video guys!!

In the UK you are the option to get private healthcare too

34.4 hours a week looks very similar to 32.25 hours a week over the period of a week but over a year that's 112 hours difference which is more than 3 working weeks.

There’s a difference between being overweight and being morbidly obese. As a Scotsman who has been to the USA several times I have never seen anyone in the UK the size of so many of the people I saw in America. And I’ve never seen anyone in the UK using a motor cart simply because they’re so fat. You see it everywhere in the US.

A stone isn't "about 12 to 14 pounds" it's exactly 14 pounds! It's unforgiveable that someone brought up in the UK has no bloody idea what a stone is!

The debt system is the same in the UK is the same. Money lenders want to make a profit. so have a credit hist shows you can borrie and payback. also have credit and paying it all off early , can have a negative impact on your credit score. Credit scores are not just about how you mange without credit, its also an industry tool to identify custmer who they can make a profit from. if you have never had credit, you have not history of paying of credit, which place you in the high risk catergory.

with the weight question i would agree that both America and the UK are the same now the differences are the reasons why. For myself I would argue that takeaway culture is bigger in America than over here, but the drinking culture is larger in the UK than America and both obviously have a impact on not just weight but health in general

I would have liked you jumping in to explain the 10 national holidays and whether you get days off for them. Obviously I know this channel is more about educating akasha but it's great for us to learn more about the US as well. Keep up the good content fen

I work at a fuel station here in England. Brits are overweight. Some of the people coming in I can't believe they haven't overworked and burnt out gravity by now. The US definitely has some fatter people, but England definitely has some very fat people. That's just how it is.

Havent watched the video yet, just speaking on the tittle. Lets take you 2 as average people.... Akasha looks like she could kick your ass. Im not saying she is average, she is hot, just saying the average american looks stronger than your average brit😅

They have definitely made the debt thing a selling point for banks. Notice how they quickly glossed over the medical prices at the end as well.
