    Right,

    So yee in AH seem like a rational, level-headed bunch..

    So advise me.

    You wise ****ers.

    Myself and a couple of mates are right at a quarter-life crisis right now and chatting about getting through it. Given that we're at that "comfortable but definitely not rich" stage one idea was to withdraw about €1200 each and live like lower-league footballers for the night.
    I have a general idea of whats gonna happen, but I'd like your best itineraries.

    lol...you're 25, get over it.

    Besides that though, pick a random country in Europe and fly away. Or drive around the country and see where it takes you.

    €1200??

    By lower league do you mean the Albanian Fourth Division (Reserves)?

    Coke and hookers, obviously.
    Alternatively, get yourselves a cheap fast car, and lamp the thing up and down the country till it blows up or gets taken off you.

    I might be wrong but I don't think €1200 isn't *that* much. I'd usually get through 5 or 600 on a standard night out, all you'd need to bump that up to 1200 is a few extra bottles of champagne for example, easily done.

    Well for you if you don't think a €1200 blowout isn't a big deal!

    600 on a night out? Did you spend the night on Moet and Chandon?

    This needs a thread of it's own

    How do you manage to spend 600 on nights out? Even if I was trying to spend that much I'd probably only make it to 400 before I'd have nothing else to spend it on


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 177 ✭✭Birdster


    Off to Hamburg with you and straight to the Reeperbahn.

    You could always try Poland, you'd get a good week outta €1,200.

    The male life expectancy in Ireland is roughly 78 years. As you are allegedly going through a 'quarter-life crisis', I deduce that you are approximately 19.5 years old.

    The biggest 'crisis' you should be having at 19 1/2 is whether to save up for a PS4 or an XBone. Relax the cax.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,219 ✭✭✭pablo128


    Tell you what. I've had some of the best nights of my life in a decent Rave and a bag of Eddies in my pocket. Add in a decent european city and a couple of brassers lined up for afterwards and it would be some gig.

    And it's just a "standard" night out... Would love to know how much a non standard night out costs!

    About €1200 I'd say, judging by the OP.

    It all adds up. Few pints. Maybe get some food, few more pints, nightclub, taxis etc.
    I'd say if I spend 600e on a night then over 200e of that would be tips


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,058 ✭✭✭onrail


    Not interested in stupidly expensive champagne... Reduces the size of the bag of coc***e I'd try and source

    Still working out how many pints you'd have to buy to even get close to 100-200 euro to start with....seriously still doesn't add up at all, what's going on here? I smell BS.

    It would drive me nuts to be so wasteful with money like that, to be honest.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 411 ✭✭LUPE


    Strippers?

    nah, not into strip clubs. Usually just lounge staff, taxi drivers, the chap with the aftershave in the jacks. Pretty standard stuff I'd have thought. The odd busker if we're passing one

    Look, it's your money to do with as you like, and I won't judge. But FFS you give these people a quid or 2, not a tenner at a time!
