It's absolutely fine if you a smart with your money. I'm on a fair bit less and save 500/month, max my pension and live in a nice area. Anyone saying otherwise either has poor spending habits or unusually high outgoings

Ah I see what you mean, no, unfortunately not 😆

Be prepared to live on a tight budget.

Good enough to live and save ~200/300 a month for a single person

£60k a year is £3400 per month

Rent 900 (I house-share with 1 other person in a 2 bed flat)
Bills 200
Groceries 250
Entertainment 250

PS - I’ve been working from home for over 2 years

To save a lot, be prepared to house share with1 person. 2 of you can get an excellent 2 bedroom apartment in a good location for £2000 ( I currently house share in a 2bed apartment in East London). Not only would house share save you money, but also help you with getting to know people as London can be pretty lonely for newcomers.

Check out SpareRoom to find a house share buddy and Rightmove to find a good 2-bed apartment.
