Financial independence for people working in Central London

I just heard about some rumors like commuting from Madrid is cheaper than living in London. Is that true? Let's see. As Homes&Property of Evening Standard is saying, an average one bedroom flat in Camden costs 1893 a month to rent, council tax is 111,40 and a zone 1-2 travel card is 123,30, resulting the basic cost of living in London 2128 pounds. A fully furnished air-conditioned apartment (Yes, we got sunny days in Spain) in the heart of Madrid is 532 per month, with no council tax to pay. Booking the flight with budget airlines like Ryanair will cost you on average 900 per month. That is 1725 pounds a month including train travel. 403 pounds less every month, or 4836 extra money in one year. And we are talking about Madrid. Good football, nice food, good exchange rate pound/euro, 6 months of proper summer and Latin women. What would you want more?

P.S. IF you want to move i can tell you this:
Best websites to find a home are Idealista and Fotocasa.
Best budget airlines are Easyjet and Ryanair.

And in just 5 years you will save 38.688 pounds on average 4% return. In 10 years is no less than 74.958. Living in Spain. Working in London. Any thoughts?

(Of course it will be much easier to move to a small city like Bedford,one hour to Central London by train. Where you will pay 500 for rent for a 2 bedroom flat, 55 of council tax and 367 for train (4404 for an yearly train pass) on a monthly basis, making your expenses 922 pounds. This way we will have a whooping 1206 saving per month or 14472 per year. For 5 years is 115.776 pounds (on average 4% return), for 10 years is an incredible 463.104 pounds, more than enough for your early retirement, financial independence, FIRE or whatever is your strategy called. Sometimes is just as easier as that. And 4% return means that you will learn to live with 18524 pounds per year, or 1543 per month. We can go even further. Imagine that your partner is doing the same thing as you. 3086 per month. Add 10 years from now and you can be the one of the few living the dream.)

First James Altucher - Choose yourself meeting - London

I just came back from first James Altucher meeting in London. Was an inspiring night, full of insights and amazing stories. I met a leading microbiologist who choose to make amazing cakes, a copywriter who also write books, a top accountant, an IT specialist and many others that choose to follow their dreams. In so many ways. I felt so small and humble in their companies. Thanks for your last book you send it to us James.

Aurus (epic fantasy)

   I was in center of London, when i could see a jewelry shop. I entered inside, because i found my necklace broken one week ago. Inside it was an old man, and he looked familiar to me. I asked if he think that he can repair my necklace. He smiled.
   -'Thoughts are free and are subject to no rule. On them rests the freedom of man, and they tower above the light of nature.' But what i think is not your problem here. It's what i can do. And yes, i can repair your jewel. Wait five minutes.
   I sit down and i took a look around. Nice paintings on the wall, all with alchemic theme. It was like i just blink and the jeweler was back.
   - Fifteen pounds, he told me.
I paid and i left the shop. But the really strange thing was few days later, when i finished my book about Ho'oponopono and i took another. 'Secrets of the nature' by Paracelsus. And from the first page the familiar face of the jeweler smiled back to me.
   A brand new day begin for me. And i am happy. Because i know that the philosophical stone, the one who give us immortality, is real. And all old legends are true.
