In a TikTok post by @miss.grace660, the lady listed her regrets.

The post read:

“I came to the UK 3 years ago, and this is what I regret about; 1. Not starting my journey to getting a full UK driving licence immediately after arrival. It used to be a little bit cheaper than it is now, and the rates keep going up. 2. Not starting to save up for ILR soon enough. When you first arrive, 5 years seems like eternity, but it goes by very fast.

“3. Financial expectation, I arrived at Heathrow and imagined myself buying plots of lands back home and building, but expectation vs. reality hit differently. what you earn is directly proportion to what you spend. 4. Not joining groups or communities that can support you in case you need help. This one is major as it's very easy to get depressed. what's your regret?”
