You spend hours pouring over Rightmove because, get this, for the same price as a decent one-bed in London you can have the dream Sim house that you spent an entire week making in 2002 — complete with hot tub, fancy fireplace, and maybe a butler* in the suburbs.

*You probably can't afford a butler.

Regularly hitting your weekly sleep quota means you don't lose it and sob in front of strangers in the bank/on the bus/in the office toilets anymore. Seriously, it's the dream.
