There goes another 15% of your net income on train tickets. Eating out every time (because have no time for proper value shopping) and you are basically working in exchange of food, housing, and commute.

As long as you live within Greater London and can use TFL, it's more like 5%

it wasn't even close to 15% of my net income when I was 25

and it certainly isn't now that I'm quite a bit older, and I earn a multiple of what I did then

Using hyperbolic percentages harms your point, it doesn’t help it.

But yeah you’re right dude, we live in a society. We work to support ourselves. What a shocking surprise.
