Unemployed youths 'won’t get out of bed for anything less than £40k' - as Lords told of 'new reality'
In London, what sort of living standards would someone have on 40£k?

You can rent a reasonable double room and survive comfortably. You could even rent a small 1 bedroom flat if you got lucky or moved to Essex and commute in. It's above the London average. If you have a partner or close friend you can even combine your rental income and do better.
Life gets considerably more comfortable if you're on over 50k which is achievable if you're on 40k as you need some kind of skill to earn that anyway.
I'm on slightly over 90k and have no rent or mortgage but I live like someone on less because I pile loads of money into a pension.

My mate would need to be earning 55k in order to be better off than he is now on full-time benefits, and that's not even including the cash in hand work.

London prices are insane. You could get a 4-bedroom new build home in a nice area for that in the north.

I'm not into new builds. This country sucks at building homes these days.

I once saw boat gypsies in the scary forest near Amsterdam and they probably live cheap

You can get an empty lot in Haarlem for 50k but then you still need a boat

A lot of money for that barge. You can get a brand new top of the line wide beam 58 ft long for about 150k. I assume it comes with the mooring lot.
