  1. This sub doesn’t like to hear about people doing well.

    It cares about begrudgery & blaming everything on landlords or the government.

  2. >The median weekly earnings of those who did not receive income supports in the third quarter of 2021 but did so in the third quarter of 2020 stood at €581, an increase of 24 per cent from the previous year.

    I don’t understand this – surely, at face value, this increase dwarfs the figure in the headline? Or are they including the value of supports in their averages?

  3. I’m in a lucky position I’ve been promoted and my salary will go up about 15% this year, I don’t drive and my rent has only gone up 70 quid over the last 4 years

    I also moved just about next door to an Aldi and you’d be amazed how much you’d save when your right next door to an Aldi
