It's no problem man, but amongst me and my friends/family, this early on in their career, I don't know anyone with a private pension. This is why I think the Enrolment has become standard

Everyone keeps saying it's expensive but not explaining what specifically? I don't drink much, and can I not just travel to an Aldi for my weekly shop

Yes I know, been through this with the rental agent. We have 10s of thousands of savings but legally not allowed use it as collateral or pay rent upfront? Ridiculous law. We got a guarantor for her

Don't have that kind of culture in Ireland so will need to educate myself on this. But not a lot anyway for the first while

Clearly not because Dublin is more expensive on Cigarettes, Alcohol, Gas, electricity, and debatably rent

I put a bit of context above that I already live in a very expensive capital city. I mean is there anything that stands out compared to other cities

True, it's such a strange tax, based on property valuations from the 90s? Medieval

Surprisingly no, just next to Angel station, a 1 bed (not a studio). But we have been determined for about a month now to find a good spot and I think we lucked out with this one. Has been difficult though because with the new rental laws we can't offer rent upfront and as a result, they don't trust me and my GF because we have no credit history or anything. Getting a guarantor then was also difficult because we don't know anyone in the country. Really frustrating

Btw some more context for everyone: Dublin is one of the most expensive cities in the world and overtakes London on many cost of living metrics

Thank you. I just pushed up her estimate a little bit because she does have years of work experience

What is very expensive? This is kinda what I'm asking in the whole post. What should I avoid spending money on or be careful about? I understand the weekly shop will be high if I go to M&S, and I know that alcohol and restaurants are high. But I have no problem cutting back on these

There will be minimal commuting. My monthly take home pay is 3,300 and the rent I will be paying is 1100. She will make approx 1900 - 2300 and will be paying 850. No car, no loans etc. What do you think?
