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.

If you're doing it eyes wide open more power to you. I think there's something to be said for living large while young- very few 50 year olds go for the nonsense trips of their 20 year old dreams even when they are able to.
