I save less than £1k a month out of choice. This is the first job I’ve been able to be financially irresponsible and I’m giving myself time to do that. I am 26 lol I couldn’t give af about a home etc. When I am 30 I’ll get serious.

I do like the company that gave me an offer but their base pay was 80k and they went up to 85k. Is asking for them to match the 90k too much? The position is associate systems engineer.
