Many young Brits say the queen's funeral proceedings distracted from other issues — like ordinary people struggling to make ends meet. 'How am I just going to live?' one recent master's graduate said.

Bunmie Moj, 33, says the cost of living is one of her top concerns. She runs a custom printing company and needs to make sure the business stays afloat so she doesn't have to worry too much in the winter."I just take every day as it comes," she says."But I know other people, it's affecting them a lot more ... A lot of their bills are going up and there's a lot of concern about how they're going to pay it.

Cakmak had long thought about leaving Turkey because of the state of its economy, particularly the weak lira. She says she only plans to go back as a visitor.Rachel Treisman/NPRFrida Cakmak at the ice cream truck where she works in London's busy Piccadilly Circus on Tuesday."I'm here and I'm so happy living in London, really," she says."The social life is better, the working life is better and, of course, the money is really, really good here.

"I just think it's quite depressing at the moment," she says, adding that Britain seems to be dealing with economic issues that its European neighbors have handled better."I turn on the news and all that's there is just sad stories and depressing news all the time."

There is plenty of time for unpleasantness

If the UK had focused on NUCLEAR, and not outsourced all their oil to Russia, they would be a lot better off. I think they got over-focused on extremist climate panic, and now will suffer for it. :(

moniqueblognet It’s true. The ruling Tory party spent the summer not governing but instead having a navel-gazing leadership election necessitated by the fact sixty ministers had resigned from the government of former PM Boris Johnson.

I'm not going to crap on anyone who really cares about the queen...but to think this is the most important story of the last few weeks is a gross misunderstanding of what is important.

What fields are these students studying? Just generic “masters”?

''How am I going to live?' one recent master's graduate said.' HAHAHAHA

Work? Isn’t that what you got educated for?

The royal family is a multi billion dollar business and a trillion dollar business for the UK. It isn't going away any time soon.... but the economy of the UK is trashed by Brexit and Liz is about to make it far worse...

“News”

Taking one out of the California playbook!

Get a job? Learn a trade? Move to mom’s basement?

You have a master's. Figure it out.

I told my wife this is something the world will never see again. Well worth the six hours I spent watching.

I totally get it. 96 year old woman who lived an exceptionally pampered life dies and now will get 24 hr news coverage because some guy 700 years ago deemed his family better than yours 😆🤦🏻

You do know the liberals have put the British people in that situation like the Dems have here in the US. Open borders destroy a country from the inside… the old npr supported blm and antifa chant “no borders no walls no USA at all” communist npr feels the same about the UK.

Well then maybe they should do some research with those master's degrees and learn about what life was like under other British monarchs, shut their mouths, and appreciate what a wonderful, compassionate human being she was, and get on with it!

Ol pish posh recently graduated Masters student would be struggling because it's a scenario as old as colleges and the queen dying has nothing to do with it

But they love the monarchy
