)<br />
<strong>Cardiff</strong> was identified as the UK’s top city in<br />
Money Supermarket’s annual quality of life<br />
index. This takes into account factors such as<br />
disposable income, unemployment and the<br />
cost of renting, amongst other things, as well<br />
as looking at the overall cost of living.<br />
This was an improvement on <strong>Cardiff</strong>’s rank<br />
in 2013 when it was the third highest rated<br />
city of the 12 included in the index.<br />

<strong>Cardiff</strong> is also the best UK city for young<br />
adults because of its low cost of living,<br />

according to a 2013 poll by Legal & General.<br />
The city was placed above London,<br />
Edinburgh and Belfast after researchers<br />
spoke to more than 2,000 18 to 30 year olds<br />
from across the UK.<br />
Seven in 10 living in <strong>Cardiff</strong> said they loved<br />
their job and took home an average annual<br />
wage of £21,585. The poll also found 70%<br />
were happy with their work-life balance.<br />
