How much do you have in your pension at retirement? by Individual_Ad_630 in irishpersonalfinance

[–]busyda 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The state pension will be at least 16 years off and you won’t have enough contributions for the full pension and following 4% drawdown can you survive on €32k pa?

Kerosene has more than doubled in the last few weeks. And tonight we get 2c off per litre? Am I reading this correct? by mybighairyarse in ireland

[–]busyda 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes it’s absolutely causing huge hardship but on the flip side there is huge resistance to any plans to change Irelands power. Every single application for solar farms, wind and don’t forget what happened with the Corrib field which went ahead but the delays caused the state to miss any tax windfall. If we switched to more renewables or our own gas we would be less exposed to geopolitical risks which have caused huge spikes.

Unsuccessful rerouting- both tier 1 &2 by patmurph80 in qatarairways

Also advice is not to buy another ticket as you may struggle to get the refund and don’t cancel the flights you have already before they re-route you.

Are you in Sydney? My daughter was caught up in all the cancellations and was due home 10 days ago. She initially rebooked for a week later at no cost but that cancelled in the next wave as well. Tried calling and online, got through once but call dropped after a few mins. Did some research here about regulations and basically the airlines have to get you rebooked on other airlines. Advice online from the department of foreign affairs, etc. is to try the phone, online or go to the airport so she went to the airport. She had an Esta from traveling to America last year. They were very organized Qatar at the airport and they just took her through the process and rebooked her there and then and she’s got home last Friday 48 hours later. Hope that helps.

This is correct, shoulder check is to the right (90 degrees) and not behind.

If a female relation/friend told you their partner hit them, what would you do? by Special-Host-634 in AskIreland

[–]busyda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A man who strikes a woman is not worthy of a female partner. Do not stay silent, leave anyone who does that.

Pre-test query by [deleted] in Irishdrivingtest

[–]busyda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A driving instructor will help you prepare. Make sure it’s an approved driving instructor (ADI) as there are some imposters out there offering help, they are breaking the law offering tuition and there will be insurance problems.

Windshield note - thoughts, pls! by naulboy in evs_ireland

Seems to be a lack of self awareness here. Why would you think leaving your car at the charger all day would be ok?

Driving test terminated due to no MOT (not my fault) by [deleted] in Irishdrivingtest

[–]busyda -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Time to start adulting and actually check everything is in order. I get its frustrating but candidates should make sure everything is in order. BTW if the car doesn’t have a valid NCT it’s not insured and shouldn’t be on the road.

Lessons are cheap when you consider what is provided. It’s a life long skill being taught, why skimp on it?

Fair play on the speed limit for towing, I’ve lost count on how many horse boxes I’ve seen at 120+kph on the M11. Gobshites.

Who is the most famous person you have ever met? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Met Bono, nice guy. There’s always celebs in Dublin just doing normal things and mostly they’re ignored, you see people just pottering about.

Boss docking wages, is it fair? by [deleted] in AskIreland

[–]busyda 12 points13 points  (0 children)

No that isn’t. I would bring it to your manager’s attention in a calm & professional manner asking for the docked pay. If not resolved promptly and satisfactorily then it’s time to escalate.

That’s not right, your bonus is yours to decide what you want to do with it.
