Yes.

I get paid handsomely for my country and the actual experience I have. However, despite that, it's impossible for me to buy a house within 45 minutes travelling of my workplace, so I'm forced to spend about half my net incoming on rent.

Similar situation to me.

I now pay more for a room in a five person shared house then i paid for a 3 bed house to myself. The only difference is being located closer to London for the better career advancement/salary.
