I live in Holland (not comparable with the UK) and even in a cheaper place of Holland and I pay about 100 pounds a month on rent and about 50 pounds on gas, water and electric. Travelexpenses are never higher than about 400 pound since you would get a total public transportation pass for that. Here in holland I get around with about 2000 Nlg, that is something like 650 pounds a month!! In my situation, I might say that I am still a student, but still. A normal salery in Holland would be someting like 60k Nlg, that would be 17k in pounds or so. Remind, that is not minimum, thats good money here. If you earn 23k here, you sure have above avaridge.
