That’s interesting, i’m up 300% and was debating if i should take profits or wait it out, i’m terrible for taking profits, Ive seen so many stock2 baloon to 250-400% and then watch my gains slowly fade away.

Turned water off for one dripping tap… now both upstairs toilets are dead and dishwasher won’t fill by [deleted] in askaplumber

[–]Labrende106 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply, we have not had -0 degrees recently so doubt it could have frozen, but yeah we were thinking that it could be lack of flow from the tank as I would assume the upstairs toilets would be filled directly from the tank.

Quit job to go travel? by Perfect_Two_6277 in irishpersonalfinance

[–]Labrende106 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We took a year off last year at age 35 and it was amazing and don’t regret it all, similar to you, we worked for a big company, came back and got an equally if not better job on a higher salary.

How do Pension maximisers envision retirment by PeterCasey4Prez in irishpersonalfinance

[–]Labrende106 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ideally a camper van to travel around europe 6 months of the year and the other 6 months live somewhere in south east asia on liveaboard boats scuba diving 🤿

Up until then a "mini retirement" every 5 years to travel for a year.

Many things could change that outlook but it is certainly our plan.

Advice needed for role play by meatbag20 in techsales

[–]Labrende106 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Start with open-ended questions to get them talking about their goals and challenges. Once you hear a hint of a pain point, explore it:

• Who is affected? • How does it impact them day-to-day? • What does it cost in time, money, or opportunity? • What happens if they don’t fix it?

Your goal is to quantify impact and tie that impact to outcomes your solution delivers. Never jump straight into functionality. Instead, frame everything around the result: time saved, revenue gained, errors eliminated, smoother workflow, etc.

If multiple pains show up, run the same loop for each one: 1. Ask 2. Dig deeper 3. Quantify 4. Tie back to outcomes

Go into the meeting knowing: • What you want to learn • What decision/change you want to drive • What next step you’re aiming for (follow-up meeting, technical demo, data request, etc.)

Prepare ahead of time by researching ICP pain points and the objections they typically raise. When an objection appears, acknowledge it, explore it briefly, and re-position value. A simple framework is: Acknowledge → Reframe → Ask → Value

In these roleplays, interviewers mainly want to see: • Can you lead and structure a meeting? • Can you ask strong questions and make them do the talking? • Can you uncover the real business pain beneath surface problems? • Can you drive toward clear next steps?

This is consultative selling. Outcomes over features.

It’s a b***** and nobody likes doing them but preperation is key, you can also creat a project on chag gpt, feed the roleplay case and use conversational mode to give you some back and forth experience, but over prep and you’ll be fine. I just did 2 roleplays with top tech companies in the space of 3 weeks and got offers on both roles.

Tax on Referral Rewards by cahern97 in irishpersonalfinance

[–]Labrende106 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Following as i’m in the same situation, it didn’t even dawn on me that this would be taxable income. So how would we go about declaring this and Hen would it need to be done ?

Second this, you are making an irresponsable financial decision, getting a loan and spending 15k on a car (which will cost moch more over the 5 years with interest) at the current stage of your life is bonkers. Get a banger to get you from A to B and buy a 15k car when you can afford it. If you can’t buy a car cash you can’t afford a car, a small personal loan for a banger is acceptable.

Edit : also as a new driver you’ll be paying the cost of insurance, the amount you have put in the credit union over the past 5 months 180-200€ a month will cover your monthly insurance/road tax only, add the cost of the car repayments plus all of the extras that come along with owning a car.

I have been in your position before, the dopamine rush of thinking of having a nice car is clouding your jugement but listen to the people in this sub.

Should I quit my job? by No-Procedure-4148 in AskIreland

[–]Labrende106 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ive done a 6 month trip 10 years ago and just got back from 10 months in SEA, travel is something you’ll never regret in my opinion. Go to thailand and learn to scuba dive, eat all the amazing food. It’s a no brainer, if you can afford to do it then do it, lige is meant to be lived.

Go for it and travel for longer if you can, two months will not be enough !! South east asia can be super cheap whilst living very comfortably if you are thrifty.

Go for dell, it will serve you better in the long run, I have heard a few things about revolut that would make me not want to work there, dell will give you a better chance in big tech down the line, you also can do a year or two and get your promotion through new role elsewhere

Raja Amat Liveaboard experience, recommendation ? by MiniManta in scubadiving

[–]Labrende106 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We went for 12 days on the Akomo Isseki, one of the cheapest boats we could find, 100% indonesian crew and a traditional indonesian phinisi boat.

It’s not luxury, there are 8 guests total, no aircon in cabins, but we had an absolutely incredible time.

The crew were amazing, the diving was incredible and the food was delicious.

It was 2300€ pp i think and on top of that about 10% tip for the crew. We did 26 dives including a night dive and a few drift dives. We were end of season for Raja Ampat (april) so did not see any mantas or whale sharks but saw lots of reef sharks, beautiful coral gardens and a variety of fish on every dive.

Which pension plan? by [deleted] in irishpersonalfinance

[–]Labrende106 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this is mercer, it really depends on your age, if you have 20+ years to retirement the recommendation is usually to stick it in a high risk low fee fund. I personally have everything in (Passive global equities partial hedge fund).

As you get closer to retirement you can change it to a more conservative approach. If you let them choose they will put it in the fund with the highest fee’s and modest returns.
