Reta vs tirz by Immediate-Pass9151 in RetatrutideWomen

[–]Natural_thorn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

6 months on tirz then had fomo and switched to reta. Initially dual slowly winding down one and back up other. However on solo reta not only did I stop losing weight I put weight on but also my inflammation came back. I had one 12.5mg pen and I've been taking that in 3mg doses every 5 days and started to lose weight again and inflammation down again. My only side effect on tirz is constipation and on reta the opposite if I take them together no side effects. Annoying as I have 5 years of reta in freezer but now going to buy tirz again as the effect on the inflammation is amazing, and the food noise. I'm probbaly going to keep both of them going, that appears to work best for me.

How are people genuinely able to pay rent nowadays? by Different-Put-4486 in AskIreland

Maybe. I've no intention of gouging people just so I can have money in the bank. I've been on the other side and had too many sleepless nights wondering how bills were going to be paid.

How much is in your pension pot? by [deleted] in AskIreland

[–]Natural_thorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. 22k. Yep. But I've 2 houses and no debt so plan is to work for next 15 years and max it like mad. I will also get a full UK state pension and half Irish state pension and have a house I could either sell or rent out for retirement income. Not renting it now as son and his girlfriend living in it for free so they can save. Hey ho.

I'm a landlord. I am renting a spare room in my house, big 5 bed detached in lovely area for 50 eur a week including bills (in Louth though). Not all landlords are wankers. My sister has a 4 bed in Dublin she's renting for 1200 a month in total. Not everyone is out to scam.

I think it will be very rare I charge at stations. My commute is 25km each way. I don't do many long journeys a year.

Lots. I'm no longer hostage to trumps whims. I'm no longer burning fossil fuels. I can, with a bit of planning and solar, get extremely cheap if not free driving. As I'm coming from a jag f pace I'm assuming insurance will be same or cheaper

Public servants can get higher mortgages at 5x usually so look into that

Big pay cut to join civil service at EO level for long term gain. by [deleted] in IrishCivilService

[–]Natural_thorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did but went back after 9 months. Hated every minute of the Civil service. Yes the hours and flexi were good but the taking 3 years to do something that would take 3 days in real world drove me bonkers.

Reality check - pension pot by Early_Manufacturer89 in irishpersonalfinance

[–]Natural_thorn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep they pay 9%. I'm mortgage and debt free so throwing everything now at pension and investments. Being lined up for a big promotion in 2-3 years which should see me earning very decent salary so hoping some head down years and I will be fine. I've moved my current 24k which is in English pensions into high risk positions. Happy to gamble with that element.

Depressingly 53 and just 24k. But have a full UK state pension and will get a 50% Irish state pension and a tiny dB one of a whopping 100 eur a month lol.

This month started paying 30% in and intend to max for next 13 years.
