£7,000 a year to commute is insanity.

Also your social life takes a huge dive when you leave London.

Smart decision. People think they’re saving money moving far away from work but they’re paying with their time and stress, both of which you can’t get back.

And you didn’t even mention the cost of parking at the station, fuel to go back and forth etc.

Makes sense if you are going into the office 5 days a week for sure

I live in Reading. It’s 40 minutes into King’s Cross. Where’s the extra hour and 7 minutes coming from?

There a Reddit thread of people regretting moving to the countryside and looking forward to moving back.

Train prices in the uk are actually ridiculous. I travelled from Lisbon to Faro a 3 hour journey and it cost me less than €5. That was in 2019.

People always forget the travel costs. I am always being told to move out but I don’t see it working for me

Orrrr you could live in the outskirts of London, get a fast train to work, take you 45 mins and still buy a house for less than 550k

It also depends on what season of life you're in. Your video mainly accounts for work. Some people are over ‘work work’ and just want a bigger house, a quieter life to enjoy with their family

You wouldn’t pick Woodley if you were commuting though

Commuting is awful and so expensive, I’d pick the smaller place in a well connected and convenient place every time. Especially as a single person!

I think comparing to reading is pointless… you don’t need to go that fair to get a 500k home the same size… there’s Kent & Essex.. some areas in those two that you can even use oyster… 40 mins- 1 hour commute via driving or train
