    Good thread, I've a mortgage but aim to pay a bit off it every so often rather than upgrading my 10+ year car.

    Going back to my teens I was lucky to get a euro to go for a few wedges during school and we had very little money. Think it has stood to me since, rather have savings over debt.

    It's amazing how quickly things changed and then changed back. I recall around 2010/2011 finding a 50 euro note in a wallet I forgot about and being overjoyed.

    And now what? You laugh at it and use it as toilet paper?

    Well a bitcoin investment I made a few years back would allow me to do that if I choose but I can't see a 50 euro note being hygienic or comforting to the anus.

    Oh I didn't "make it" I just got lucky that someone transferred some bitcoin for some freelance work I did a few years back that I have been cashing in last year.

    And yeah I guess I have a lot of time to waste....

    In 2011 it was possible to drive from Palmerstown to Clonshaugh in under 30 minutes at 7AM via the city centre!
    Saved a fortune on tolls.
