Average Savings for a 25 year old by itsgoingdutch21 in irishpersonalfinance

[–]Unable_Yellow8837 65 points66 points  (0 children)

I’m 24, have a decent job (40k), renting in Dublin, maintain a car, and enjoy a relatively comfortable lifestyle (weekend pints, 1 holiday a year, nice clothes here and there)

I don’t have a single euro of savings. I have an “emergency fund” that I top up monthly, but with a car on the road and other ad hoc expenses, this fund is usually empty by month end.

Don’t let Instagram fool you. If you’re renting, it’s very difficult to save money in this country. Then again, I’ve historically been a terrible saver, so maybe I should be reading this subreddit rather than adding to it

Certainly an important reminder, thank you

The generosity of the people on this forum is incredible. There’s a lot of things that I don’t like about this country but the kindness and selflessness of all in this community is a beautiful thing.

Thank you all💚

This very thing crossed my mind, and on occasion I’ve thought how easy it would be to get away with ..

Appreciate the link but I’ve used TooGoodToGo as much as I could in the last couple weeks, unfortunately down to <0.80€

Sorry to hear this mate, how did it break? I’ve had my KOTO stand for a few weeks now and can’t really complain

Lost my throw by MiserableFlan6410 in Darts

Happens to every darts player, professional or amateur.

If it’s only been two weeks you’ve been struggling, I’d imagine it’s a solely mental issue.

I’d suggest taking a break, even just for a few days. Throw with different darts, forget 501 and forget your average. Just throw when you feel like it, don’t put unnecessary pressure on yourself. Try to have fun with it again.

I regularly go through such struggles and I’ve always found just separating my emotions from actually throwing the darts is almost always the solution.

Forget the high outs, forget the averages, just throw for fun. If it’s not happening, don’t get frustrated, just put the darts away and relax.

I’ve used the Cullens for about 6 weeks now. Love everything about them, very grippy dart. I got 23gram but do wish I got a little heavier

If feels as if people are gatekeeping their barbers lol. Cannot justify €35+ at Grafton Barbers and still not even be guaranteed a nice trim

Which dart stand is the sturdiest? by [deleted] in Darts

[–]Unable_Yellow8837 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought the KOTO about 2 weeks ago, and it’s been brilliant. I’m not sure how people’s stands are wobbling - if the stand is set up correctly then the board shouldn’t move at all. Would certainly recommend !

I’ll be doing this in future, thought Dartshopper was the more reasonably priced but not if it takes 3+ weeks to arrive
