I'm originally from the UK, 25, most of my friends back there are in a very similar situation. Some have moved out, most are still with parents, this is in Essex.
It's not surprising, in the UK, house prices are close to 6* income, in the South-East it's over 10*, in the London area it can reach over 20*. Renting is even worse, average rent in London is now 2/3 average salary.
