Yeah, but at least I save on ink every month!

Compared to last payslip.......I'm down €16 a fortnight.

If you're down €400 per month you must've been fcuking raking it in in the 1st place.

AnonoBoy

I don't get a payslip as such, normally my customers just toss the cash in my general direction as they button up their trousers and head for the door.

Some of the nicer ones hand me a towel first.

But no.... haven't seen a marked reduction in how much I'm earning though.

I'm down 18 Grand

Absolutely no sympathy for you or the original poster as your overall wage is way way above average to begin with.

Looks to me like the intention of the OP was to gloat about what hes getting in the first place.

Begrudger much? Jebus.

Assumptions:
guy works hard, makes right choices, gets ahead in life- this a negative thing now is it?

Maybe he has a higher income per month than you, but he may also have a higher outlay than you also. big salary might sound like you got no worries but if you have a big mortgage or other outlays then a hit of 400 a month could mean you lose your home down the road.

Not begrudgery at all. Its a simple system that the higher earners should pay higher tax than lower earners.

Also if your gross is close to 15000 a month as suggested by the poster and your in danger of losing your home, there is something seriously wrong with you. Was every penny earned pumped into fancy houses, cars etc.? Ever hear of "saving for a rainy day" as they used to say?

I am not suggesting that higher income earners shouldn't make a greater tax contribution, of course they should. But just because someone earns more than you doesn't mean that a sudden decrease mightn't have an effect on their security (not just their standard of livng).

Course, I've heard of saving for a rainy day but that applies to everyone from low income earners to middle income right up to high income earners. Cut your cloth according to your means and all that. There are plenty of middle income earners out there who haven't saved for a rainy day either.

me thinks I'm gonna be the only one in this thread who posts that they are actually UP and whopping €24 per month

ibarelycare

I get paid weekly. When the new income levy came in last year my wage was reduced on paper but my boss said he'd just keep paying the same into my bank account. After this budget, he slightly reduced my wages so the new PRSI rates wouldn't affect me, plus he said he'd again take the hit for the raise in the levy. Earning the same as this time last year so am pretty lucky. Haven't had a pay rise in 2 & a half years though so I think I deserve it!

Im about 150quid down with a 10% paycut too. My mortgage just changed from a fantastic intro offer of .75% tracker for the first year to 2.25% so thats another 200 blips that im down. One wage household with an 8mth old child.

I have money for mortgage and bills short on food spend and just about make my petrol for commute. After that i have not one penny.

High earners / low earners were all getn shafted. Its all relative.

VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE.. thats how to change things.

Didnt imply anything about what your job entails did I? I'm sure you've worked yourself up to that wage but you should, like myself pay your fair share of taxes.
If you want to pay less of an income levy then I'm sure your local McDonalds would welcome you with all your experience

Yep, one household income with a new (first) house since last July. No child though. thankfully I am on a tracker mortgage so for the time being the mortgage rate cuts have been a great help. Incidentally, I am now down just over €300 a month myself. As you say, scrape by for now. Now chance of saving for a rainy day though

If you have to take a hit of 400/500 your mortgage amounts would of reduced by that much over last 6mths to compensate. You knew the change was coming in release of new budget and should of amended your spending. 500 is mad amount but you are obviously on the big bucks.
I feel sorry for the people who have lost their job with children (loosing child support, mortgage interest relief, job etc)

Myself - didnt get paid yet but about 100yo
Am not in the top wage bracket ;-(

I've never worked in a McDonalds.

See, I see this attitude with young people who'd grown up through our tiger economy, and judging from your posts I'd say your late teen's to early twenties college grad.

You've probably been spoon fed the last ten years, you've left school/college and find the real world without a job a frightening place.

Its not all rosey, and your not looking down your nose at the general worker like you thought you would, so you turn against the people you thought you'd be!.

Life's tough, its not always fair - your just on a steeper learning curve than those of us who've lived through these times before.

I don't envy the Tiger Economy generation, your soft.

I've been in my job 15 years and NEVER made enough to live outside my means.
Mortage,bills,car,food etc etc
Now the government has decided that myself and thousands like me on average-ish wages should bear the entire brunt of the social welfare bill alone while able-bodied people are living the highlife on handouts.
Very fair you'll agree.

How do you amend your spending on basic items. i.e what it costs to keep the house going. Mortgage / food (lidl / own brand etc etc Cut to the absolute basics) / bills / petrol (to get to work) car tax?
Having foresaw the rate drop i.e. i chose a tracker by choice at .75% having changed lender to gain that benefit... my point was its a kick in the nads to hop back to 2.25% now in the time when i need the cash most.

As you say the rates have dropped but so too has the wages and higher tax NOW my mortgage has gone up with 10% paycut and higher taxes the money is'nt there?

Soldier on.

Fcuckin A!
College grads expected to leave college and walk into a job paying 40+k a year without any experience..usually in IT or some such cobblers.

So what happens when those jobs dry up?
Mr college grad says "Well,I'M not working in mcdonalds or a bar or a shop with MY degree..i'll go on the dole instead...there's no companies hiring in IT so i'll sit here with my arms folded".
Contributing absolutely nothing but negativity,showing no initiative and utterly useless for any kind of recovery.

60 years ago across europe people were building thier countries back up by hand from piles of rubble,helping to help themselves even if the work was backbreaking and the rations were low.
Look at people now,they need thier cappuchinos and thier internet and expect a living to be handed to them on aplate.
Soft is right...

So its not 'Irish Psychics Live' that you earn your fortune in so?

Pretty wrong on all your little assumptions. Have a solid job that is probably as recession proof as you can get and I earn a pretty good salary but I do think that I should pay my fair share of taxes.

Also you failed to see the part where I said

you should, like myself pay your fair share of taxes.

so I'l do the assuming this time and make a guess that your big job doesn't require much literacy skills.

In fairness, some of 'em aren't.

They're "travelling", probably hitting Asia & Auss on the money mommy saved from the childrens allowence they never really needed, the one that you and I paid into.

You know what, maybe this recession is the kick into the bollox a whole generation needed.

They thought their futures were fool proof, they turned mean & nasty and forgot the lession in the saying "Be care whose toes you step on on the way up, because sure as fcvk you'll be kissing their arse in the gutter on the way back down".

They think we're paying a lot in taxes now, damn back in the 80's when I hadn't a pot to piss in I was paying almost twice what we're paying now.
