To think £2k in rent and bills is “normal”?

[smoosee]

Live in London for work and need to be close to the office. My rent and bills, so water, electricity, council tax, heating, internet, comes to about £2,000 a month. I take home about £5,000 a month , in my mid 20s. Manage to save about £1k a month. AIBU to think this is pretty normal and not exactly living it up for a young professional?

£2k rent and bills in London is pretty normal.
Earning £5k a month in your mid-twenties and being able to save £1k a month is not normal and you should consider yourself very fortunate.
