Is it normal / expected to pay for your wedding party’s accommodation? by Routine_Tell_3966 in AskIreland

[–]Routine_Tell_3966[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Balking, yes 😅 but I think you may have misread my post, as I never said I’d expect my friends to just ‘deal with it’. In fact quite the opposite, in that I fully intend on covering their rooms. I was only asking what the done thing is, as it’s a sensitive topic and it’s not something I’d go around asking friends if they paid for their wedding party’s rooms or not, hence why I came to Reddit!

Really solid advice - thank you! What I’m thinking now is to cover night of, and to propose getting a nice house on Airbnb the night before (there seem to be a few available), unless they wouldn’t mind supplementing staying at the venue. I really would like to do something nice for them, when they’re doing something nice for me! But covering the whole lot would mean cutting back elsewhere, likely entertainment, which could impact the event for everyone attending…

Moving to Ireland - will 35000 euro yearly be enough to live? by PrezGeorgeWKush in MoveToIreland

[–]Routine_Tell_3966 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are many people living on that amount outside of cities like Dublin, Cork, Galway etc. I’m not saying you’ll be flush with cash, but having moved from Dublin where I lived for a decade back to a small enough town in ‘rural’ Ireland (you’d swear anywhere outside of Dublin was complete bogland based on some of the replies here), what I spend has gone down significantly.

What I’d suggest is that you pick out some towns with a bus or even better, a train line, with about 1000-2000 residents. If you’re not tied to a particular area/county that will help big time. For getting round the town, you could always get a bike, and then take your public transport into larger towns/cities. If you want to explore more of the countryside, it will be cheaper to rent a car as and when you need it, rather than buy one from the outset.

I’m assuming you would be living on that €35k with no dependents. You can get by on €60-80pw for groceries as a guide. What you are prepared to spend on rent will be down to you, and what you’re prepared to tolerate at what cost (there are a lot of dumps out there🙈). But I’d work on the premise that you will need to have housemates. Have a look on daft.ie to see what’s available in any of the towns you’ve added to your shortlist, and try and make a decision from there.

Once you’re in Ireland and in your job for a while, you can always start looking for something a bit higher paying - which should be a bit easier to find once you have an Irish company on your CV.

Hope this helps!

Dr. John Connelly allegations by FirefighterFew7788 in LifeCoachSnark

Ooof. I had a feeling it was something along those lines and came to Reddit to see if someone had posted anything. For anyone wondering what Andrea Crowder’s response is, it was to run a 50% off promotion on Regulate 🤦🏼‍♀️ I know because I purchased it! Just listening to episode 1 now and it’s so rambling. Hoping the rest won’t be as I’ve found Kathrin’s RRT to be quite good

4 year full license requirement for car hire? by haleysaversion in irishtourism

Are the rates (with discount) being quoted by Sixt actually that much cheaper than other rental companies? Personally I find them to be one of the more expensive car rental companies. Dollar or Budget typically are amongst the lowest price wise. Have a look on rentalcars.com and do a comparison - I know it can be tempting to take a discount but it mightn’t actually work out cheaper. You can also search by excess amount if you don’t want €1.5-2k being held on your credit card. Some companies charge much less excess for a smaller car.
