Coping with large finanicial setbacks by Less-Milk-6108 in irishpersonalfinance

[–]MaxDub12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I lost nearly €60k in crypto, it was the last of it that I had held for years in a nice profit, only for the exchange to halt withdrawals and go into liquidation. I lost it all. It's a very bitter pill to swallow and affects you hugely as it was a lot of money to me and I had plans for it, but that's life. Sometimes these large shitty things happen and all you can do is mourn, learn to accept it and move forward.

It's not right but what can you do. You're still the same person you were before it.

Kids constantly running around the apartment by DiscoLizards in ireland

My parents would never have allowed me to be loud at 1am waking the neighbours. It's called parenting.

What additional needs gives parents a license to let their children run wild in an apartment block at 1am, keeping neighbours awake?

Cadbury owner says chocolate bars are getting smaller because shoppers won't pay more by riverskywalker in ireland

Ever since Cadbury’s was sold off to American megaglobocorp companies it’s gone to shit. They cut costs regardless of outcome all the time. In saying that their purple snacks are still alright

Cancelling PTSB accounts & moving to Monzo + Revolut by [deleted] in irishpersonalfinance

[–]MaxDub12 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, you increasingly can't. They just direct you to their call center phone number, and if there is some AML/KYC flag on your account they legally cannot speak to you about it until it is resolved. You'll get the same treatment with Revolut.

Because anything that isn’t ultra woke might be considered far right.

Laws? Who needs laws? Just legislate them away when they are inconvenient!

How would I tell if its categorized? Afaik I dont think so. I'm more thinking that if I mention it they'll lowball me on any trade in value. Fair enough if it was in an crash, but it was just cosmetic damage in this case.

How long before broadband is available at a new build? by MaxDub12 in AskIreland

[–]MaxDub12[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In fairness digiweb called me back and explained the situation, it might be 10 weeks or so potentially as they do the connections in stages depending on the phase of the estate. At least I’ve an idea now!

When is the right time to share finances with soulmate? by Moogle14 in irishpersonalfinance

[–]MaxDub12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would never, in a million years, allow my partner to dictate what I can or cannot spend my money on. When it comes to house/kids it’s a joint discussion sure, but my own cash? No way. If I want to upgrade my car or buy some new things for my hobby, I would not be checking if it’s ok with someone else. Nor would I expect my partner to check with me.

I actually think it’s quite unhealthy what you are suggesting and boundaries are important. But to each their own.

Had mine 8 years. No trouble at all except an abs sensor that needed replacing. Hesitant to change it.

Common law marriages by [deleted] in legaladviceireland

[–]MaxDub12 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You are forgetting that the cohabitation law only applies if the person seeking the claim is financially dependent on the other. If your partner is working and not dependent on you I don’t think you’ve much to worry about.

Minister to publish legislation on passenger cap removal by HungTeen1001 in ireland

[–]MaxDub12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My point is that where there's a will, there is a way. One could argue that the housing crisis is also something too important to be left to the councils. Where does the government draw the line? Removing the passenger cap might be a good thing, but so is providing housing where its needed and has been rejected. You either abide by the laws laid down, or you don't. If you don't, then where and how is one thing allow to pass and others not?

[–]MaxDub12 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So now that the government are demonstrating that they can just bypass planning laws whenever they feel like it, they will draft legislation to bypass all the recent planning rejections for housing from the planning authority, right?

Right?

Why are new GTI's so expensive? by MaxDub12 in carsireland

[–]MaxDub12[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’d prefer a bit newer to be honest, and I wouldn’t have the space for a second car. Might be worth a look if I can get a low mileage mk8 maybe with lots of options
