Neighbor has 191 car bought

Charlenesully

Should my neighbour get assessed as their finances seem to be above the average tenant in the estate I am living in.

Ask him/her to take you for a spin in it.

None of your business

Considering it's our taxes that is paying for the car, it is very much our business

I work part time and pay tax. These neighbors don’t. It’s very much my business actually since it’s my tax that is paying for their new car.

Report your suspicions to the local SW office. You can do that anonymously. Just write a letter and post it. Leave it at that then.

In fairness, the income tax on a part time job is unlikely to cover the cost of any 191.

If you reduced your concern to the direct proportion of your contribution to the car you’ll sleep better

On topic though: I know someone who works in the dept investigating SW tip offs, a huge % fall at the first hurdle - that being whether the accused is in revolt of a SW payment.

It’s almost always a disgruntled neighbor worried about how the car or holiday is funded.

If you have a legitimate concern log the tip off, but you might not know your neighbors circumstances as much as you think.

Fun fact: they still get regular calls about a certain high profile MMA fighter.

Exactly this.

They'll look into and and they'll make the judgement.
191 cars are cheap enough on PCP.

Christ this is grim.

You're struggling to make ends meet... and you believe that the blame for this lies with a neighbour in your own community who happens to have a newly registered car.

You say "their finances seem to be above the average tenant in the estate I am living in":
-Why do you think they're above the average in your estate?
-And what exactly is the average in your estate?

You're wondering if they should be assessed:
-By whom?
-And what do you want to happen to your neighbour?

If you're angry that you're not getting ahead in life then that's understandable. I work hard in a hugely dysfunctional workplace and I'm not getting ahead either, and it's enormously frustrating at times. But let's back that up with facts and direct the ole anger in the right direction.

The average wage in this country is just over €37,000 a year according to the CSO.

Several of Ireland's most prominent businesspeople and '80s rockstars pay no tax and have assets of over €1,000,000,000 - they're billionaires.

A 191 Ford Focus is €22,500 and upwards. If I'm a billionaire I can buy 44,444 of them tomorrow. If I live in an estate then more likely I'm paying €393.30 per month via AIB.

So who are we going to blame for our predicament: the Irish billionaire who can't step foot in Ireland in case they have to pay tax?

The government who's happy with tax evasion, tax avoidance, severe income inequality and thousands of children on the homelessness register?

Or your own neighbour in your own community who - for all you know - may have lost their mother and been bestowed a few quid in her will that can buy them a new car, or at least qualify them for weekly payments on a 191 car that they'll eventually own after 72 months?

Why not knock on their door, introduce yourself as their neighbour, see if your kids want to play with each other, and find out if a 191-reg car on your estate really is a bigger obstacle to social cohesion than tax evasion, political corruption or child homelessness?

Did you just register tonight to post this?

You must have ‘issues’ if you can waste your time coming on moaning about the fact that your neighbor has a new car while not working. So what ? Begrudgery at its finest. They could have had savings, left money in a will, got a payout from a job. Either way...let them enjoy their car and their life. Doing so will enable you to enjoy your own without worrying about what is going on accross the driveway.

I had to sign up just to respond to you, Charlenesully.

Are you joking me? What business is it of yours what car your neighbor has? Are you joking me? Your post is an absolute joke! How the hell do you know the finances of your neighbor? The fact you would post on a public forum about this disgusts me.

How about you mind your own business and focus on your own finances? Jesus Christ there are so many explanation of this and you're posting here? Absolute insanity. It is none of your concern, none of your business. They could have Ferraris and Lamborghinis in the driveway and it would be none of your business. Focus your attention on your own life and finances. This post has my blood boiling.

Your neighbour must be an associate of the fella in our estate. He regularly has 3 or 4 different expensive cars parked here. Until CAB turn up to tow them away. And the girlfriend is getting lone parents and HAP while he's living in the house with her. I'd say he's pally with that MMA gangster too cause he dresses in the same tracksuits as him! Also in Ireland we don't have "neighbors".

Do they get the pet food allowance too?

holliehobbie

They probably do get the "pet food" allowance in this joke of a country!

Sardonicat

Priceless!

Calm down folks. The only thing that needs to be assessed here is the OP. It's just a urine extraction thread.

How about you go get a better job with a bigger salary and buy a 192 and a new house away from your rich neighbour.

Report them if you feel so strongly about it. Or just mind your Ps and Qs. Whichever works for you.

Why are you telling the OP to get a better job to get a 192 car when their neighbour has no job and has a 191...I cant see your logic.

Sometimes I grumble about having to work so hard to pay for my mortgage and then I see a post like the OPs and I count myself lucky that I have a nice house in the country with no jealous begrudging neighbours to question what I have and don't have

You can and should report them if you suspect they are defrauding the state.

And they left their free buggies in town every time before they drove home in the 911
