I remember a year and a half ago or so I was offered a job in England in the small beautiful little town 20 min from london. If I had been single or if we werent about to have kids I would have taken it.
Is 52 thousand pounds a reasonable wage there? Or would I have been living in the slums?
52 is a good wage as the higher tax (40%) is a 60k (although if you were single it might be a little tighter than if your worried married etc) but you could get a nice flat or house for that and the further away form London you get the more you get for you money.
in centel london you might have to pay £500 per week for a decent appartment but about 30 miles away £1000 per month should find you some where nice.
where i live (north east England - near the mouth of the tyne river) you can get a 1 bed flat here for £550 per month with river views etc.

London is expensive is what i'm saying. What i can equate to is that a first year traniee solicitor in a top firm up here (my firm starts you on about £28000) where as in London you would expect to start on maybe £40000 just due to the cost of living.
what line of work by the way?
