nothing to it. just needs a bit of getting used to and common sense.
What is a liveable salary for a single person with no dependents in London?
- Thread starter Orang Utan

Actually you can pay more than that in a supermarket in london (was horrified at prices when we last came down, will have to import my own wine next time). £7, is it cat piss????????
It's okay as pub wine goes.

Each and every one I went into was more than the average price. Tbh it's not just London, there's a branch of tesco in Baildon where inlaws live that I swear is the most expensive tesco I've ever been into.

you're mistaken. they do the same offers in all the stores - all the 2 for 1 and discounted wines are the same prices. maybe it costs more if you spend more on wine than i do and go for non-offer wine, but i wouldn't know about that.

live in cheap accommodation, go out rarely, have a modest food budget - it's doable.

another thing to consider would be doing some type of work on the side for extra spending/saving money outside of your regular job. is there anything you can do p/t that would be marketable? even something like ebay selling?

i had a saturday night bar job when i was on low wages. £40 cash in hand goes a long way when you earn fuck all. plus it keeps you busy on a weekend night - no pressure to go out and spend money you don't have.

Small private estate, Surrey. Ate at home most of the time, eating out was only once a week usually, maybe a take-away once a week. Total accommodation costs was about 2k monthDidn't go out much, couldn't really afford to, but when we did it would be to the theatre or to see dance/contemporary ballet. Due to nature of job and places of work travelled by car. I was spending about £300 on petrol, jointly. Mrs D also had to have a car to get to work, again due to hours, nature of job, and location.

I've never even taken home £500pw never mind spending it on rent/accommodation.
Even when I did a 96 hour week once, I still came home with less than £500 as I was taxed so much

babysitting? don't you take care of a relative's kid sometimes?
or teaching english as a foreign language?
gardening/yard work? I once put some flyers up offering help with that, intending to earn some cash on the side, and it turned into a full time business.

in a year or so a living salary in london will be round £21,000: the price of food, of fuel, of transport all shooting up.

the only babysitting i have done is for friends/relatives and my nephew lives 200 miles away.
i would love to work in TEFL but I can't get any work/experience teaching it here
gardening? no way!
dunno what yard work is but i'm not a practical, handy type person. i could work in bars, but to be honest i'd rather be skint than have no free time.

yeh, i've known people who did that, got a couple of thousand flyers printed and distributed them and ended up with years of gardening work as a result

Well yeah. 40k is roughly the mark for the top 10% of earners in the UK. It won't quite put you in that band in London but it's still well over average.

maybe right in the centre of london, but where i've lived in london, supermarket wines are exactly the same prices as they are anywhere else (well, leeds is the only other place i know really).
i used to drink a lot of wine, so i know what i'm talking about

I think it goes up to 50k in London.
