I moved away from london, I&#x27;m lucky that I don&#x27;t have family there or an emotional attachment to the city itself.<p>I feel bad for the others, I made an above average wage and chomped over 60% of my salary in rent (+20% in bills and taxes), even if I could have afforded to buy when moving there initially, the rate of incline was so great that after 1 year I was completely unable to buy a studio apartment.<p>Crazy.<p>There are even anecdotes about how &quot;my home earns more than I do&quot;. :|
