  • I ask people in London how much they pay for rent each month, and it was shocking.
    But how bad is it really? Comment down below where else in the world you think rent is more expensive.

    It would be cool to also know what ppls salaries are and then see the proportion of income after tax is goes towards housing costs

    I pay £1.5k a month for a 1 bed flat in London, not including bills. I’m assuming most of these people are in house shares right? If not, that actually seems quite cheap.

    I've never really researched rental prices or salaries in London but 600-1000 pounds per month (as a single) does not sound as high as I exptected it to be. With 2.5k net you could have an okay lifestyle.

    I really don't get people who think ANYONE in London is "rich". Bro, if you earn 200,000 a year - that's still only 8,000 a month if you were paying student loans off. I haven't even factored in the pension contribution, you could end up making only 7k.
    1500 rent, leaves you with around 5k. Expenses and bills just add another 1k.
    You have 4k left - 1k for basic monthly expenses so MAYBE you save 3k.
    "But, but bro, 3k is a lot!111"
    Bear in mind you can get laid off from your job at any minute. Not many people can say they consistently make 200k a year for even 2 years straight.
    This is not that much money - you'll maybe save 30k a year. Meaning it will take almost 5 years to have 100k in savings. This is "good" money but it's by no means some significant, amazing money... You will be able to then afford a mortgage and pay £2000 a month for a dingy flat in Zone 5 lmfao.
    The UK is not designed for being rich by any means.
