But I can definitely remember that I didn't earn enough to rent a flat
for
myself and had to live in a house share for the first 4 years of my
career
until I had established some seniority and an enhanced salary

I've not know anyone that can buy a house on their own anyone that has has
also had to rent out a room.

I bought my first house (flat) in Chelmsford in 1983, 17,000 IIRC

I had just started to take contract work at 400 pound per week, but my
previous permanent salary had been 8K IIRC
