Anecdotally, my buddy (31M) in London says he's having the time of his life. Making a lot of money at BP, parties every weekend, just moved into a nice flat with a partner. I suspect, just like in America, that if you're inside the "formal economy" (corporate job with real benefits and potential for career growth) your life is pretty great. If you're outside that (service worker, gig economy, small business owner, NEET) then things are pretty grim.

That the same BP that is making record profits during the cost of living crisis? [0]

I suspect the "formal economy" is hurting in a number of places, just not the energy sector.
