    Thats twice so far Joe has asked a question that the caller has already just answered. You get paid enough at least listen to them

    I sold my house in 2015, had enough left over after paying my mortgage back to have 20% deposit for a self build. I earn enough for what I want to borrow for the self-build.

    I have been to 3 different mortgages companies. They have left me hanging for weeks on end without call backs- this is how hard it is for someone that does have their finances in order, I shudder to think what would happen if I didn't

    Thinly-veiled "I'm rich like Joe" post.....:D

    'Kin assistant branch manager called me out of the blue and offered me €80K against my site value, "Just so you can finish off the building, kind of thing."
    I told him to take a hike.

    I used to work in Biopharma so I fully understand the economics of drug therapy and the value chain associated with drugs like this. I've mentioned this a few times on the thread before but we (as taxpayers) simply cannot afford to pay for every drug out there, and certainly not in a country that pays civil servants like we do.....or one that pays the part-time host of a ridiculous radio show over €400,000 (and likely rising) a year. Fix those problems first maybe?

    Oh, I'm not being completely critical of the pharmaceutical industry, apart from that American bloke who's taking the piss, but as you say, there needs to be some sort of consideration of costs.

    It's like that psychologist says Joe "There are no accidents". YOU wanted to discuss the topic and they were the two people that YOU rang.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 4,400 ✭✭✭mojesius


    'Let's stick with de mortgages' sez Joe. Fcuk the renters, they're a lost cause.

    3 bed semi for €1900pm is nuts

    It's probably worse that I think it nearly sounds like good value considering rental prices in Dublin these days. (approx 630 per room)

    Has Joe tried to contact Matheson for a comment or would that be too much effort? http://www.matheson.com/contact-us/dublin

    I find a good broker is worth getting, they'll be the ones doing the chasing and they usually have a direct line to someone within the bank.

    Do your shopping in Aldi in stead of 'Arrods?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,337 ✭✭✭✭monkey9


    Great, so far we've had people telling us what rent they're paying and a repeat of last week's show about Mars Capital

    Depends, do they pay rent on the trolley or have they vultures flying around the hospital?
