    Phew! It's all over and we weathered the economic storm. Bring in the wife and child whilst we all have a familly hug. Lets go on line to book the sun holiday we haven't been able to afford for 5 years and I can now turn my back on Aldi and shop at higher end supermarkets. Was talking to a friend about this the weekend, we're being told more and more that we've turned the corner and things are getting better. I can't see it myself .

    It's not a corner, it's a really long bend. And we're not even half way there yet.

    These stats were from before the socialist policies of the household tax and water charges.

    He ain't lying

    http://www.cso.ie/en/media/csoie/releasespublications/documents/economy/2012/isanonfin_q42012.pdf
    Preliminary estimates for 2012 indicate that gross household savings
    increased by €1,773m to €11,084m. Gross disposable income of
    households (B.6g) increased from €84,196m in 2011 to €86,273m in 2012
    – an increase of €2078m (+2.5%). Higher wages (D.1) (+€711m) and
    profits of the self employed (B.2g/B.3g) (+€1948m) were the main factors
    which contributed to this increase.

    Of course, we don't know how the increased savings are distributed.

    Out of curiosity, you think the CSO are making up the sectoral account figures?

    It will be swallowed up by the new charges of course but I had been saying for years to family and friends that 2012 would show a sudden increase in disposable income. All those 5 year loans taken out in 2007 just before the sh1t hit the fan would finally be paid off in 2012 causing a spike in disposable income. I borrowed 30 grand for a 55 grand car in 2007 FFS. Big mistake!! Finished paying it off in early 2012 and my disposable went up by 700 euro a month in a flash!!

    It wasn't worth much so I threw it in the bin, sorry. Besides, you wouldn't have spent it properly anyway.

    Yeah. Whenever the CSO put out some modestly positive stats it must be some conspiracy between the government and the CSO :rolleyes:

    Some truth in the gobsh1tes comment 'tho.

    This is why "statistics" and "surveys" and figures on paper don't mean jack shìt. We all had a good laugh at the 85% catholic statistic too, and yet when there's a discussion on boards and people want to "prove" their point, random statistics pulled out of the àrse hole of nowhere on the internet seem to be "acceptable" as "evidence".

    If you're going to base your argument in statistics, it cuts both ways.

    If the CSO were really cooking the books at the government's behest, you'd think they'd do a better job of it. I mean, a lot of the figures over the past five years they've produced have been pretty grim.
