Data from 2022 & 2023, discussing cost of living and how much you need to earn to save a certain amount. Please bear in mind the second one goes into more detail on this, living in a dogshit 1 bedroom apt probably in a shit area.

Now bear in mind this is living in a shitty apt in a shit area with probably a 30min - 1hr commute to work every day. I have a good sized 3 bedroom apartment to myself in the city and live a 10-minute commute from work on my motorbike. I save anywhere from 1.8-2.5K GBP a month depending on travel, nights out, seeing girls, clothes, travelling and random shit.
I would need to be earning a minimum of 68K a year, probably more like 75 - 80k a year to have anything close to the standard of living I have now. I'm 28 years old.

According to the Office of National Satistics in the UK, that would put me in the top 5%+ of ALL earner in the UK of ALL ages. You can guaruntee I'd be working like a fucking DOG for those numbers too.
I keep telling myself I should move back to the UK but I can't justify it![FeelsAutistic :feelsautistic: :feelsautistic:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
