In the UK, median household income is ~£30k.

Average intermediate dev salary is something like £30-45k.

Mortgage cost in the most expensive non-London areas (Cambridge/Oxford/Reading/South east) is maybe £1.5k/m.

If your household is one developer and one person working minimum wage (~£17k) you can comfortable afford to cover all your living costs and probably save a little.
