Yeah. I did some digging on a related subject that I never got around to writing up.
You know that "Cabinet of Millionaires" meme that's going around that says the cabinet can't relate to us because they're all rich?
Well, in all but 5(ish) cases, the millionaire status comes entirely from owning a house in London, mostly one they've owned for several years. Ignoring asset wealth of an over inflated property, most of the cabinet are just moderately wealthy, in the way I'd hope I'd be with 20+ years success in a profession behind me.
I' so glad I'm out of London, we pay the same rent on a two bedroom house here that I was spending on a box room in a shared house just outside Wimbledon.
