Any thoughts on Linked Finance? Have a few quid sitting around it seems like a decent hing to get into, but I'm probably overlooking several massive pertinent details.

Have a pretty nice lifestyle with plenty of wanky middle class flourishes living in the west. If I was in Dublin on my wage I'd be fking crippled

Whereas driving from, say, Newbridge, would be an absolute killer
I've 35 mins train journey with a 5 min walk on each side.
35 mins in the morning spent sleeping and evening for a book or general Internet browsing.
Tis grand.

Surely (hypothetically) if you were after the life of Jack the Lad you'd have burners and not be keeping women?

The commute to/from Ringsend would be 90mins+ I'm guessing.
Guys working with me paying 600-1000 for a place on my salary at the time, I just wasn't willing to do it. My opinion on it at the time was I'm not working in Dublin to live like a student. It's probably a narrow minded way to look at it without looking at the bigger picture but it was my opinion a few months back, not so much now.
Basically settled on moving up vs new car so went with the car after I moved role. Total journey time door to door, both ways is 2 hours provided there's no accidents, less on the weekends and when schools are off so not too bad.

I text my roommate yesterday around lunchtime to ask him to grab some tylenol and food on the way home as I hadn't got out of bed since the morning and there's nothing here. No reply. Sound bud.
He comes home anyway, doesn't even stick the head in to see if I'm alright.
I'm then sleeping yesterday eve and I wake to hear him clanging around the kitchen cooking dinner, genuinely expected him to ask if I wanted some as I always ask him when Im cooking. Nothing.
Am I being precious or is he a cunt? He's Canadian. Genuinely believe that if I lived with Irish people it'd be a whole different story. We're just better."Worldly wisdom teaches that it is better for reputation to fail conventionally than to succeed unconventionally." - John Maynard Keynes

Originally posted by shrapnel View PostLol, both are middle class flourishes. I have neither and don't want them either, so was just making a point/joke. Mistresses are pretty prevalent in France, even our presidents have them, and it's all common knowledge.

Have I been misinformed? All my cherished racial stereotypes are crumbling before me.
A French couple were having lunch in a posh restaurant. A beautiful young women walked to their table, leaned over and gave the husband a big kiss.
The wife was livid. "Who was that?" she asked.
"I've been meaning to tell you about her", said the husband, "She's my mistress."
"That's it, I've had it," said the wife, "I want a divorce".
"Well, that's entirely up to you," said the husband, "but if you divorce me there would be no more summers in Tuscany, no Lexus in the driveway, no shopping trips in Paris...."
The wife thought about it.
Just then, a friend of theirs strolled into the restaurant with a beautiful woman on his arm. "Who's that with Jim?" asked the wife. "That is Jim's mistress", said the husband.
The wife thought another moment and then said, "Our's is prettier."

Originally posted by shrapnel View PostNot going there. The French are without a doubt more pragmatic about the whole thing, but it's the same the world over.
I'm sure sp has a much wiser judgment on it all."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

I'm about to buy a new house in Dublin in the next week or two. A bit nervous about the economy and that incase we have another crash or if I was to lose my job or have to take a big pay-cut. Signing up to a mortgage is a little daunting but given the new mortgage lending rules it is quite unlikely to go into negative equity. (Fingers crossed).
Mortgage will be the same as our current rent and will be 25% of our take home income at the moment. We will continue to save as much as we can and work on overpaying our mortgage as much as we can while we can.
It's really hard to know when the right time to buy is but we plan this house to be our home for the foreseeable future. It's in a good area of Dublin with good public transport and amenities. We could wait another year and save more but you also run the risk of the house you want going up in price, it could also fall but I think the market has levelled a bit now. The later release of houses in same estate have gone up 35k in price since we put down our deposit so that is a bit of a relief but at the end of the day doesn't matter that much as it's not an investment for us.
Must finally say I really can't wait to pick up the keys and get in the door and start working on it. Will try and do as many jobs as I can myself, floors and painting etc. Exciting times

I had a 75 minute commute to work in London before (Clapham to West Ealing) and the mornings were ok because you woke yourself up. Evenings were torture though with it sometimes taking 90 mins+
5 min walk to bus
20-30 mins on bus
10ish walk mins from D'olier St to the green
20-30 mins Luas
and 2 mins to office
Add in the waiting game that comes with juggling buses traffic and luas
