I'm surprised that you were able to save more money in London than Budapest.

Rents in London are prohibitively expensive. Did you share a place?

In Toronto my min-expenses swallow 50% of my salary.

I had significantly higher income in London, at Facebook. I saved about 50% of my base salary, but I got lots of bonus/stock money on top of that.
