    The most typical salary in my city (London) is 33k GBP per year. I earn more than that.

    My rent is 1150 GBP per month for a 1 bedroom flat in Zone 4, which is considered “the outer suburbs” perhaps, in a nice area. It represents about 40% of my monthly salary. I got offered to buy it for 350k a few years ago, which I did not have the means at all - and still don’t.
