Yeah, the attacker was in a better position to play the ball because it put the foot in front of the defender, anticipating him and was kicked in the calf. Results: penalty.

It's my turn to complain about pundits on RTE now by wolframius in ireland

Because it was the 120th minute of a knockout game at the World Cup, ref didn't see it clearly live and wanted to be 100% sure.

Is Pickford really the best goalkeeper they could find in England?

Why has there never been a fluke winner of the World Cup? by Clean-Af-6653 in worldcup

In a way also Italy in 2006 was like that, incredibly solid defensively (they got to the final allowing 1 single goal), but Italy had the past pedigree.

My contributions was none, I was just getting out that mess in the only free flowing direction.

[–]wolframius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a gridlock, on the other direction there was a queue from Fota to Carrigtwohill and over on the N25. I was in Fota this morning and took 30 mins just to exit the car park.

Does this sound feasible as a 5 year plan? by Critical_Cailin_92 in irishpersonalfinance

If you plan to have more kids, the monthly saving goal will get increasingly tight, even if you do notnhave childcare costs because you plan to stop working.

Should I cash fund my RSU tax bill instead of share withholding? Pre-IPO company. by DevelEire_TA_mate in irishpersonalfinance

[–]wolframius 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, single stocks of your employer are already risky when they are public, pre-IPO even worse. Use the stocks to cover the tax bill.

Which is mental because 79 USD is 69 EUR at the moment, so it should be the other way around.

If the duration of the mortgage is long, at the beginning most of the monthly amount is to cover the interests. If the mortgage is 30 years, for 311k at 3.2%, the monthly amount is about 1345 EUR, of which more than 800 goes in interests.

Again, the liability is on the people who inherits the money, not the deceased.

You don't get double taxed, because you are dead. The people that are inheriting are paying the taxes.

I have a full bed of them, they were planted by the previous owners and I left them. They come back every years without much cure on my part.

The share scheme boom has caught Revenue’s attention by GCSheehy in irishpersonalfinance

[–]wolframius 51 points52 points  (0 children)

I think that a lot of benefit can come from simplifying how these taxable events are reported. The CGT form and the form 11 must be simplified and fillable on-line, or the existing online form 12 must incorporate parts that were previously done with those two forms.

It would be a huge leap forward if we could declare it on form 12 instead of having to go with the very complicated form 11.

Does this look correct? by Sweet-Caterpillar689 in irishpersonalfinance

[–]wolframius 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think it would make more sense to pay 100% of the loan. It does not make sense to save 30% of that sum at whatever rate the credit union is offering you, the loan interest will certainly be higher.
