    What is your income and do you feel wealthy or poor?

    Jump

  • In Dublin, household brings in about 150k euros altogether. I do not feel wealthy, closer to poor. The way inflation has raised up the price of everything is maddening. Lots of money comes in but then goes right back out!

  • What are things you know because of your personal interests that most people have no idea about ?

  • Well said. I stopped reading after point 13 for this very reason!

  • What turn of phrase do you hate?

  • I've seen/heard a few Americans (old and young) saying something like "it has been a minute" to indicate "it has been a long time". What the hell is that? How did that start? Please someone enlighten me

  • The Communist party of Ireland has endorsed Catherine Connolly.

  • Was going to vote for her anyway, but now I am going to pretend to be a communist. "As a communist in Ireland there was only ever one choice..."

  • Luxury, I had 9.5k and had to spend it to survive for 2 years while I looked for a job.

  • French newspaper: Ireland is a rich country with the infrastructure of a poor country.

  • It's bang on, I'd say. With all the money sloshing around, you'd think they'd have some half decent public transport or a fully universal health care system or a military... Boggles the mind

  • Non-Americans, what's it like when you're sick and need to go to the doctor?

    Jump

  • Ireland here. I have been relatively lucky with my health since I've been here (last 10 years). The GP I go to gives a small discount because of where i work. I pay 50 euros a pop to see the doc (usually 60 I think) but the last two times I needed to see the doc it was a same day appointment. I paid for insurance the first year I was here, tried to use it when I saw a GP and they laughed in my face. Also frequently had my daughter seen (for free), they seem to keep increasing the age for which kids are seen for free, now up to age 7?
