You're basically as poor as the children in those starving African relief adverts

If you dont have any children and rent is less than 800 pcm, its a good salary. You can get a decent car, take a holiday once a year somewhere far and not worry about bills
Definitely not poor, many people work in retail and call centres and earn 15k max. Managers at river island make 18k in my city.
To be considered rich, you would have to be earning over 45,000

I’ve just graduated uni, I’m on 25k and living in London and I’m able to save £600/£700 a month quite comfortably

rich is a very vague word and quite broad...as another poster said, u need to earn 45k+ to be "rich"....if u have a partner and a few kids (lets say 3 for e.g), then ur not really rich as u need to spend on them..rich is about how much u save, not earn.............

I see where you coming from like someone on 45k cant afford to buy ferrari and stay in 5* hotels in Spain during the summer.
but 45k puts you in the top 10%, its as rare as getting A* at A Level.

^ Getting A* at A-level is not THAT rare...a fair amount of people achieve one...the rareness comes towards a full streak of A*s e.g. 3 if u have 3 subjects and 4 if u have etc...

It is probably not technically impossible, but 'comfortably' is a pure lie in this context.

Eh. It's not bad, but don't expect to be able to get a mortgage with that money (especially in the South East)
