thats math's* in London ;) 

all shops are around the city or west end. you want to be within walking distance of the office. rent £1.5-2k
food/bills £300
entertainment/clothes/travel £250
~£2-2.5k spending p/m

 average out the analyst to senior associate salary at £75k base for 5 years with 50% bonus
base is £4300 after tax (not including any student debt - which is usually £300-400 p/m)
base + bonus averages out at £6k p/m less £2k spending = £4k * 12 = £48k * 5 years = £240k
