Being from Ireland I don't want to recommend it as we have an insane housing crisis and the government is giving out too many worker visas every year but theres a reason why so many people are coming here. Good jobs market Very safe (I live on the busiest street in the city center of...

    Didn't the CIA invent a game similar to this? Imagine using it in Russia to get members of the public to photograph sensitive military infrastructure. Maybe the intelligence agency will be your first customer hahah

    Football, history, business and politics are very intertwined across the rest of the globe in a way that it just has never been in the USA. The original club football teams in the UK like Liverpool, Manchester United, Arsenal, Leeds, Tottenham Hotspur were founded around shipyards, factories...

    I have been watching most of the games! Big Ireland fan, travel with my Dad to all of the home and away (international fixtures). Had tickets for the World Cup but sold them when we missed out on qualification after losing penalties to Czechia. So funny the controversy with the red card for...

    Real Estate/Property I think it would really suit your personality. It can be scaled up or down as much as an individual wants, it can be as creative or as cookie cutter as you want, it can be as hands on or hands off, active or passive, social or individual. And your strategy can change as...

    "I'm Not Here To Take Part, I'm Here To Take Over"

    June 2026 Update - Slowly refurbing the property I purchased. Its probably at around 350k in value now, I still have one year of repayments left to completely buy out my business partner. I'm also in negotiations with the city council to get permission to convert the garage into a bedroom &...

    The current A.I's have reached a critical moment where the government deems them too powerful to put in our peasant hands! Looks like the current LLM's will continue but development will be capped or extremely slow rolled from here on out. The government is going to hoard the rest of it for...

    Do You Trust Strangers?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I think all safe societies also have a bottom up approach to enforcement. If somebody is stealing something in broad daylight here they'll be called out on it or stopped by passersby. Community groups with Whatsapp channels alerting people to issues in the community. etc etc We are not...

    Do You Trust Strangers?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Mainly in the cities. Countryside people are still closer to the former. However, its changing with the new motorway system in the last 15 years. It's made the countryside more accessible to gangs from the city. They drive out at night trying to open unlocked houses and rob them. Not very common...

    Do You Trust Strangers?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Ireland is definitely a high trust society but it is slowly eroding with time. Previously you could leave a bicycle unattended, your house doors or car unlocked, your wallet/jacket in the bar unattended. Now you wouldn't do most of those things. But, you can still go to the beach and not have...

    Thanks MJ, for posting that. Yes, I guess with Zcp he is factoring in a potential salary boost too from moving. I think we have all agreed that its location and regulatory specific. The math is the math. Meta Ireland staff shrinks 50% from Covid peak Pretty timely article for where the Irish...

    @ZCP Very good! Hoping to get out to the US/B&P when it comes around again. Good framing with the questions. It's made me realise that the answer may be much different in the US vs Ireland. Q1) Deemed disposal in Ireland is an anti-avoidance tax rule that forces investors to pay a 41% "exit...

    Are you locked into working with this one specific company or could you scale up by doing the same for 2-3 others? It would also recover some element of control as at present if you fell out with this one company your entire monthly income could be erased in a day. Awesome thread btw!

    Why you should buy a home as early as possible.

    GOLD! HOT! ASSERTION 
    It's not really one or the other? Especially when you are younger and have less stuff. Baring a market crash just sell the property and move on or rent the place out. In many cases it can be massively tax advantaged to do so as there isn't tax on selling your principal property.

    Has Moving to a Warm and Sunny Climate Made You Happier?

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    I think part of the reason why Ireland feels so bad is that we were a poor country until basically the early 2000's. We don't have the infrastructure to match what our wealth level is today. Healthcare -> Hours waiting for everything (Improving since covid) Housing -> Insanely expensive but...
