OMG Dublin is so expensive!!!

I don't live in Dublin nor have I ever. I may be in the next couple of years however. Rent aside, is Dublin more expensive than any other city in the country?

KERSPLAT!

Yes.

The price of 6 doughnuts in tescos rathfarnham and tullamore is 99c.

However , rent on a four bed beside either tescos differs by 1000.

Ah, you said rent aside, so a cheeseburger in rathfarnham and tullamore is 2.40....

It cost me €75 to see Munster get their arses handed to them in Dublin on Saturday. The same result would have been €30 less here in Limerick :mad: :pac:

Get a truckload of instant noodles (none of that high fallutin pot noodle nonsense, I'm talking Tesco 5 cent noodles), get a job, work 50 hours a week then hand your wages over to the landlord, who will then hand it over to the bank, who will then hand it over to the reptile king that lives in that hole there.

Meanwhile, watch your body slowly begin to starch stiff, turning beige and noodly, while your sanity sinks into a cheap half-pint in some over-priced kip in temple bar.

Do this for 15 odd years, then go the whole hog and trade decades more of your life away for a mortgage ("Death Grip" in the original French) to continue doing the same thing.

Or....think outside the box, don't do what every one else is doing, and don't buy into the scam :P

Pretty dear, considering.

In most countries the capital city is the biggest and most expensive.

It's one of life's unsolved mysteries.

Not if you live underground it's not. Plus the great thing about that is you beat the rush hoir, because you travel under the traffic.

Yes, in a massive shock, the capital and most congested city in the country is the most expensive. No other capital city on the entire planet is similar. Economists are baffled. We'll all die without understanding why, so save yourself a life of misery and stop worrying about it now.

A woman in Beijing has spent the past 20 years living in a hole as she's too poor to move back to her home city, it's reported.

Quan Youzhi moved into the underground utility compartment in Beijing after her home in the eastern city of Shangqiu collapsed, the state-owned China Daily newspaper reports. She uses washrooms in nearby Lido Park, and quarrels with her husband who lives in a neighbouring hole. Hot water pipes keep the 9m square compartment warm in winter, but she has to stay above ground in summer when it gets too hot, or if rain causes it to flood. The 66-year-old, who collects empty bottles for a living, says she would like to rebuild her house but doesn't have the money.

Dublin with the price of rent is now starting to lose out to investors and employers. and now its start to look unattractive to invest in Dublin

Hubs and I feel very fortunate to only be paying €1050 a month for our well-insulated, low-bills-and-gym-included gaff. And now rent caps are here - woohoo!

This isn't the Daily Mail OP. Try for consistency. If not, at least try to reach the next paragraph before completely changing tack rather than the very next sentence.

Minderbinder

Having lived in a number of big cities I would say that Dublin is probably expensive when you consider the lifestyle available, environment and the average salary. I like Dublin and I like walking its streets but the cost of rent is just too much. I don't care if I can afford something or not, but I care about value for money. There are so many bigger, cheaper, arguably nicer, equally interesting cities in the world, and the majority of them have better weather.

If you're confined to Ireland, but have a fairly high salary or the likelihood of attaining a high salary it's unquestionably the best place to be.

ChikiChiki

Moved to Sydney. Live 4km south of the CBD. From door to desk in 18mins. Have much much, more disposable income that I had in Dublin. 1/4 of my monthly wage goes on rent compared to 1/3 at home living all the way out of the Dublin where I worked in poxy Maynooth.

Dublin/Ireland is a rip off. My eyes have been opened to how bad it is at home.

Sydney is the second most expensive city in the world though.

Absolutely it is. You get what you pay for. Helps keep the knuckle draggers outside the pale m50
