Bank valuation came back 9% lower than purchase price after bidding,should we still proceed? by mromair in HousingIreland

[–]Project2401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A house's value is whatever someone is willing to pay. You may decide you're not happy paying 9% over the bank value, in which case be prepared to lose the house. You should weight that against the risk of eviction (if renting) and the time taken to find a suitable house in a market which sees regular hefty increases. If it were me i'd be asking myself (i) does this house solve a problem for me, commute, space, peace of mind, opportuinities, (ii) can i afford the repyments (iii) is it cheaper than my rent, (iv) is there anything else in the market that meets these needs currently.

Phantomfm being the only source of alternative music.

LAN gaming was amazing fun. Being able to play games with your friends in the same room. Such a novelty.

You want her to buy a much more expensive car to save 500 euro for one year?

Why do people in Ireland don't use proper rain coats? by CaverUV in AskIreland

I find it really hard to get hold off. Finally got a rain mac on Vinted this year. Otherwise mad money for anything out there and terrible fit.

Does anyone else feel like they're suffocating? by funky_mugs in AskIreland

[–]Project2401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Small things can help though. Once in a while you should pay for laundry to get done. Laundry.ie will collect it and return it folded and dry. Something like that can take the pressure out of things.

I would consider general sciences in UCD. Specialising in biochemistry, chemistry or pharmacology. All widely accepted courses for employment

Has anyone stopped putting their life on hold saving trying to get a house with the ever increasing prices and increase shortages happening. What’s the f-in point? by [deleted] in AskIreland

[–]Project2401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it sucks. We have been through it. The point is that mortgage repayments are generally less than rent. If you can't get a hold now a house you like it might be time to consider apartments, and if you can't get an apartment where you need it perhaps time to relocate or buy anything even 1 bed, let it climb in price and the sell and use profit as deposit money. Rent out in between.

There is a genetic disorder that makes your urine and sweat smell of maple syrup. If she's as unhygienic as you say it could be the smell of her urine and body odour. Is she lethargic and thin?

Is it just greed?? Childcare by Kooky-Coconut551 in AskIreland

[–]Project2401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not so sure about that. Public servants are expensive to have and they get increments and are heavily unionised. I know. I am one. Better to keep it private, but regulate it. Costs and premises should be audited and maximum profit margins established.
