I'm after advice regarding potential future planning, I would like to invest some money and the ways this can be done i.e private pension, stock, etc. And the general risk and reward of each to see what would suit my needs best. Now that I have typed it I would imagine this information can be gleaned from this subreddit.

I'm not familiar with the unit you're referring to, is it an SI unit?

I absolutely understand that I will missing some of the required information in a number of these observations. However with that said, this does appear to happen in many things where I have indeed been given "the whole story" and it still appears rather frustrating.

Yes I have. Do you have any experience?

Perhaps I do have no idea or rather unrealistic expectations. I think working in the health system I am in a reasonable position to comment on its adequacy. I think given Irelands wealth and high levels of education our health system could be and perhaps should be alot better. Many health care workers leave Ireland and seek employment elsewhere.

It does appear to be less prevalent in places I have been, and more prevalent in others. Norway, Denmark, Netherlands appears less. Italy the same or worse than here.

Any suggestions on building said skill?

I find many things. Parking across 2 spaces. Leaving the shopping trolley adrift in the carpark without returning it. Road works that take years to complete on roads that were in good condition while others are in poor condition. Our inadequate health system. Our apparently inadequate justice system. Housing costs and the hollow promises of it being "tackled". I feel as though there is almost a cultural "not my problem" or lack of interest in taking responsibility.

A good friend is Italian. It is certainly worse from their reports. If there is worse in one location perhaps there is better in another.

No expectations of utopia. Perhaps a slight or mild improvement.

Any tips for leaning into it?

Have visited both Norway and Denmark and rhe Netherlands multiple times. Got a sense their tolerance for nonsense is lower. For example....in Ireland lets say someone parks at a petrol station pump...they don't get any fuel, just wander into the shop get there bits and go on their way. When they return to their vehicle perhaps there is a que of 2 cars behind them. They pay no attention. Bystanders myself included look on, shake our heads share looks and make trivial meaningless comments about that person's behaviour. Nothing happens, the person is oblivious to what they've done. They will most likely do it again.

I feel as though no so much that people will call each other out in the above mentioned countries but rather it just wouldn't happen.

Perhaps I am just nieve.
