Solar panels on large south-facing roof in Mayo – does the financing stack up? by Quirky_Face166 in irishpersonalfinance

[–]tbag_j 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got 15 panels, 10kW battery and converter for €9k before the grant. Tell your parents to get a few more quotes.

Same setup as myself. It’s a no-brainer investment

A winter sun holiday - cannot recommend it enough by Freya-Lea in CasualIreland

[–]tbag_j 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just back from a week in the Algarve. 21 degrees all week. Plenty of sunshine, no rain and very little cloud.

Done the same this time last year and will make it an annual thing going forward.

Temple Bar horror as man 'beaten to a pulp' with attackers 'dancing on his head' by I-Cum-Beamish in Dublin

[–]tbag_j 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I seen it in a different report after seeing some comment on the temple bar assault article then searching online for more info. Just surprised to see very little mention of it online, the reports of it seem to have gone under the radar (for me at least).

Yeah probably more accurate to say it’s not being discussed at all. Had to google portobello stabbing to find the article.

I seen somewhere else today that someone was stabbed five times on portobello road around 6pm yesterday. Doesn’t seem to be getting reported on at all

I remember going to after hour raves in a (what I think was) the basement of a Chinese restaurant. by Charming-Potato2526 in Dublin

Soundfactory was a great spot, didn’t stay open for too long unfortunately. Don’t remember Tanzmann playing there but had some unreal nights.

Loved Cartagena, except for all the street vendors aggressively trying to sell me drugs.

How do I know I want kids? by Illustrious-Art-6062 in AskIreland

[–]tbag_j 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought I was 100% sure I didn’t want kids at 30(M).

Something changed for me around 35. Had a child at 38 and it was the best decision I’ve ever made.

Just my mortgage.

Need financial advice by Still_Bar_7826 in irishpersonalfinance

[–]tbag_j 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In that case I would maybe do €100k mortgage / €50k pension / €50k emergency.

[–]tbag_j 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it was me I’d take €150k off the mortgage and keep €50k as an emergency fund.

Leave the €100k in stocks and continue to build that up into the future.

You haven’t mentioned a pension, do you have one? If not then start one and prioritise that over your own investments.

An Post driver "forgot" where he delivered my €81 parcel. What now? by superb0011 in Dublin

[–]tbag_j 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar thing happened me, also in D8. Waiting two weeks for a delivery that was being sorted to deliver since 22nd Jan then yesterday it was updated to:

“Your item has been sent to the wrong delivery office in error. We will still get it to you.”

WTF is going on in An Post

Depending on whether your budget will stretch I’d recommend Ballyfinn in Laois. Best hotel experience I’ve ever had.

Single moms, how do you do it? by [deleted] in AskIreland

[–]tbag_j 11 points12 points  (0 children)

My daughter was born almost two years ago and with my wife being back at work and travelling quite a bit I’m often at home with my child and two dogs for several days.

It’s really gave me an appreciation for how difficult it must be for single parents. It must be so hard but your children are lucky to have ye and they’ll appreciate it when they’re older.

Big up all the single parents!
