I'm almost at 150k, born & raised in London, and I currently live there.

I fly out to other cities on weekends to party. Berlin, Paris, Reykyavik. London is a great launchpad to check out other cities.

I'm saving & building passive income (developing mobile/web apps and charging monthly fees) so I can do this perpetually, Once I hit £10K a month passively I'm going to cut the cord and leave for good.

EDIT: I'm 27, 4 years experience as a backend software developer

Congrats! Can you share any of the saas products/web apps that you're working on? I'm going to start building a little side project this month. Really keen to hear about how you're getting users to these apps as well! Indie Hackers is a great blog for reading up about other self funded services and SAAS products.
I make apps for other people, and then charge to host them/provide minor upkeep. Things like web apps for evening classes, with schedules, integrated payments etc. So they aren't my products, I just make them for a client
Seems to be some info in his profile.
I'm guessing he was asking what line of work you are in and not what you do with your money once earned though I find your answer interesting as well.
Oh, I've edited my post in case you're right
Which industry are you in (a list of similar companies also works i.e. GOOG/MSFT/FB) and do you manage people?

£150k at 27 sounds exceptional unless you are a contractor.

I'm a contractor, staying in one place doesn't suit me
Before taxes, I guess?
Yes before taxes
Are you in finance?
Nope
Ok. Are you in a B2B business?
Right now, I'm contracting for the government
