    Here's 100 euro.

    How far can I get with it?

    For 100 euro what value, goods or services would you exchange for that 100 euro?

    Then, taking your exchange, what can we get with that?

    How far can we really go?

    You could buy this book for under 3 euro - and read about how a guy did pretty much your idea already - and then spend the rest on wine to drink while reading it :)

    Fancy dinner out.
    Mini car service
    Two decent pairs of skate shoes

    Flowers, cheap champers and chocs for the missus

    I don't mean all of these, each one is separate

    Based on 48 weeks at 40 hours per week = annual salary of €420,000;
    Then i could get 28 minutes time with the head of HSE. Dunno what we would do though.

    I remember seeing a story about this before a few years ago, how true it was is anyone's guess..! This guy had a hundred, bought something, sold for profit, then used all the money to buy something else, sell it, story goes on and on but he turned his hundred quid into thousands with little effort . Some of the things seemed too good to be true but others could be done I'm sure. And this comes across as a lot of mumbo jumbo but I really can't remember much of the story ðŸ˜


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,426 ✭✭✭italodisco

    Fascinated by what you'd do with 200 quid: flowers for the missus AND a hand shandy in the parlour above a BoyleSports, or? No judgement like

    100 euro can buy your exit from a seedy lap dancing club in Paris after buying a dancer a drink as I found out once.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27 Tarah04


    My food shopping costs roughly between 80-120 a week. I shop in Dunne's and use the vouchers so the aim is always 100. Every 50 you get a tenner off.

    I get great satisfaction when the check out girl tells me it something like 101.58. The closer I come to it the better.

    One day I'll get bang on a hundred.

    €100? What’s that in real money - 20/25 packs of toilet roll? Yeah I could live for a couple of weeks on that, depending on what falls out of the truck that week.

    It may have been the well publicised story of the guy who started with a paper clip and through barter ended up with a house.

    However, I think that the people he traded with knew what he was trying to do. At least one swap involved a radio program he appeared on.

    Would last me about 30 days of day to day food and drink living expenses in these Covid times. Incredible I know but on average €3.25 gets me by on food and drink per day...

    I remember as a child in the mid- 80s £20 would buy a full trolley of shopping in Dunnes. I suppose this would now take €100?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 254 ✭✭HansKroenke


    Buy dollars with it now and then in late 2021/early 2022 buy euro with those dollars.

    It’s mad, a cup of coffee would be circa €3. I bring a flask with me now when I’m on the road.

    First they came for the socialists...
