I don't see anything extraordinary in the OP amount of savings. A friend of mine is in a similar income range (with no nixers) and is desperately saving to buy a property. He lives at home with mum who provides all the home comforts free (Her way of helping him to get on the housing ladder) and as he is studying there very little time at the moment for socializing. Living costs for him are minimal, hence the large savings
You mustn't understand the meaning of the word extraordinary so!
Here's a dictionary definition:
1. beyond what is usual, ordinary, regular, or established.
I would say it is unusual, the proof of this being that you know ONE person who is in a similar situation to this guy. I'm in the same age bracket and I don't know anyone in that situation! (And besides, 55k is nearly enough to buy a house these days, never mind say a deposit!)
