I'm almost at 150k, born & raised in London, and I currently live there.
I fly out to other cities on weekends to party. Berlin, Paris, Reykyavik. London is a great launchpad to check out other cities.
I'm saving & building passive income (developing mobile/web apps and charging monthly fees) so I can do this perpetually, Once I hit £10K a month passively I'm going to cut the cord and leave for good.
EDIT: I'm 27, 4 years experience as a backend software developer
