What kind of salary would one need to earn to live (rent) in central-ish London and not be skint as fuck? Currently debt-free and with no dependents. Happy to house/flat share, would be looking to get around mainly by bike, and social life would hopefully revolve around diy (so inexpensive/free) gigs and cycling. Most of the people I know live North/East so I guess I’d be looking around there initially, but I’m not against the idea of living South per se. I realize location is a main factor and I don’t know exactly where I’d want to be as this would be dependent on job location (I said this was vague) but any thoughts would be welcome.
Depends on rent/expected socialising behaviour really - my old flatmate survived on minimum wage (so £13.5k ish) for the last 4-5 years and I was on £16k at most during the same period... Rent (in Hackney) was £420/ month for me, less for him and most of our drinking was cans rather than pints.
Pretty vague this one, but hey.
