    My net worth is positive but I’d still lose the house if I stopped paying the mortgage. The net worth in the family home is a largely meaningless statistic.

    Those figures have to have a huge imbalance towards the east of the country.

    Very few shops reopening in the local town near me. Bugger all jobs coming back too. Youngsters still leaving in droves.

    It's the same the world over, very difficult trend to reverse.

    Sligo still limping along as well. You might see a new business opening up while the one next door is closing. No real progress being made at all. Unemployment is rife but is being disguised by the likes of Jobpath and other schemes where people don't sign on while they're involved.

    Surely you could use the rising net worth to secure a loan for an 'investment' property in Bulgaria or Cape Verde.

    What could possibly go wrong....?

    I think the recovery is really Only being felt in the pale.
    Rural areas are still stagnant and likely to remain so.

    The banks are rich you mean, seeing as they own these houses until the mortgage is fully paid. Funny how no one ever seems to remember this fact isn't it. :p:p:p

    Dublin and to a lesser extent Cork are rich (and funding the rest of the country).

    The rest of Ireland, not so much.

    It's not a true boom until we have hoards of clowns jetting into Cape Verde and Bulgaria buying apartments.

    Still flying Ryanair, but I've splashed out on the Priority Seats at the front. I think that sums up exactly where I am financially.

    There was me thinking that this link was realtime. It's obviously an out-of-date gif as it should be moving backwards.

    You really need to get out more. Most of the East coast in thriving at the moment, with good employment and all paying their way. I can't speak for other parts of the country but I'm sure other areas are doing their bit too. This naïve view that the country centers around Dublin, with support from Cork, needs to be put out to pasture.
