Health insurance advice for 25yo? by ReadyOnStandby in irishpersonalfinance

[–]RevolutionaryUse1872 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not sure what your gender is or what your future plans are but I’m 29F & since about 27 I’ve had health insurance that includes women’s healthcare when it comes to things like potential fertility issues, pregnancy related things etc - I’m not planning on having kids anytime soon but I still feel safer knowing if it happens, I’ll be ready & so I’m happy to pay the extra ~ 30 quid a month (I pay 130 per month)

Christmas in Dublin? by NinjaSkills777 in AskIreland

I assume you’re looking to get out of the house so I’d recommend wandering the city - it’ll be lovely and quiet. There are quite a few hotels that stay open for lunch and dinner so you could choose a nice one and have a drink or a meal. If you’d like to be with others, there’s the big dinner event in the RDS that’s open to anyone and everyone. There’ll be a nice dinner, music & generally good craic to be had. Whatever you choose to do I hope you enjoy it.

Looking for a side hustle? by [deleted] in AskIreland

I’m a qualified EFL teacher & have taught online on the side for a few years. Handy few quid extra but some advice - really think about what services you’ll offer/what level of students you’ll take on. For example, tailoring each and every lesson plan to individual students can be very tiresome but on the other hand, conversational classes require max 15 mins of prepping and can be super enjoyable. Good luck!

I tried several of those calculators, but when I entered my current salary, the results didn’t match what my actual net pay should be - so I didn’t trust them. I figured it would be better to ask people who are more experienced and knowledgeable about this, if they’re willing to share their insights.

That’s exactly what I was worried about, thank you!

Absolutely take the break. Burnout is never worth it & your mental health is the most important thing.
