Americans love to bring this up but half of a six figure US income still leaves abundantly more than £32k at 6 years experience leaves outside of London. Without a car, dependents, and with private healthcare costs (because the NHS is far more flawed than propaganda would have you believe), I'm not the only one living alone in a mould-infested flat that isn't even suitable to keep a pet, unable to move because of trying to cling on to the lower-but-still-too-high rent price ridden through the recent massive increases, putting no savings away, in a country where recent delivery shortages make your fresh food shop a roll of the dice. I'm glad to have the shelter, warmth, and relative security that many others don't, but living as a software engineer in this country is nowhere near comparable to other 'similar' countries, whether the US, Canada, or European neighbours.
