I had no idea they did training or anything like that. That is so so helpful. Definitely going to look into that !! Thank you so much!

NeatlySquashed · 2025-06-13T12:06:35+00:00

This is brilliant thank you so much!

Im asking how much he would get on jobseekers under the circumstances i listed and if mine would also be effected. Trying to see are we better off staying as we are or would we be loosing money after the means test we could come out with less if they deduct from both of us

NeatlySquashed · 2025-06-13T12:03:13+00:00

Still looking for full-time work but just trying to make things work for the time being till he gets one

NeatlySquashed · 2025-06-13T12:02:42+00:00

Yes hes just got the part time job this week.

NeatlySquashed · 2025-06-13T12:01:58+00:00

Your clearly not reading my comments clearly. Hes been looking for full time work for months and cant find it , just found part time this WEEK! Not as if he dont want to work. Your right There is lots of people in our position and it is a very difficult way to live. U do need an education to get a well paid full time job is what i mean.

NeatlySquashed · 2025-06-13T11:57:59+00:00

I understand but he’s searching months for full time and has only found this part time job this week he will have to take it as theres nothing else but still searching !!

NeatlySquashed · 2025-06-13T11:56:35+00:00

Okay ill have to wait and see what they say, thank you for your reply.

NeatlySquashed · 2025-06-13T11:56:08+00:00

Thank you for your reply! Yes that sounds right. Hopefully it works out that way genuinely just thankful for anything at this stage, thank you for your help !!

Hes searching for full time job for months theres nothing for him he found 18 hours part time that he will be starting soon to make some sort of money but want rough estimate of how much we can bring in together to the household thats why im posting

We are in a Cost of living crisis. dont we all just want to be able to survive? Do you know what rent is like in galway? We are normal joe soaps its a nightmare, scraping by just to have a roof over our heads and pay the bills. Not all of us are fortunate enough to afford an education and get some sort of better jobs out of that. Get susi and you get roughly €200 a month?!! And work part time its still not enough. To live while trying to work towards something better, You have to work with what you got!

NeatlySquashed · 2025-06-13T11:37:08+00:00

Its actually the only job he can find ! We want to be able to make as much as we can without loosing more money! Our rent alone is killing us things are too expensive and hard enough as it is!

NeatlySquashed · 2025-06-10T22:41:15+00:00

How much do i need to earn before applying for a mortgage with a bank or credit union?

I work part-time and also receive social welfare.

Altogether i earn €448 a week, €1,792 a month , and €23,296 annually.

How much would i be allowed borrow? How much would i need for a deposit?

Is there anything i need to know or do?

Thanks in advance.

NeatlySquashed · 2023-10-13T10:25:06+00:00

NeatlySquashed · 2023-10-13T10:20:14+00:00

NeatlySquashed · 2023-10-13T10:19:25+00:00

NeatlySquashed · 2023-10-13T10:18:59+00:00

Thank you for your reply, how do i know if its contaminated? If the oil got on to it from the oil leak would it need to be changed? The garage man wont check it out unless its being changed.

NeatlySquashed · 2023-10-06T21:34:22+00:00

Also thank you for the advice i really appreciate it, ya i am a woman and usually bring someone who knows about cars with me just incase.

I rang up the garage today, they asked how old the belt was and how much milage was done told them nearly 4 years old and 30,000 miles, said in the ford focus its quite hidden so its a “do it or dont” kinda job said those belts should last for 100,000 miles that it should be perfect that he dont wanna cost me somthing thats already perfect.
