Money Diary | Financial Services employee on €100K in Shanghai

  1. This is one of the spicier ones in recent times.

    Fair play to him if true, but he lives a surreal existence. Hope the lad is doing ok. I can’t get over how much he’s spending on food, but it might be due to his dislike of Chinese food.

  2. Ah good this was is written in the style of someone doing their junior cert english essay!

    If you believe any of these articles then I’ve a bridge to sell you.

  3. I grab my hurley and go for a puck around which I know is unwanted by my neighbours but I don’t care. I usually have at least 10 minutes before somebody calls the security guard and he makes his way over to where I puck. He knows me well at his stage, and I always enjoy the arm flapping when he arrives.

    Lol

  4. > I don’t like Chinese food,

    That gave me a laugh alright, honestly though the description of his week depressed me and for how much money he makes he probably lives a worse life (by the sounds of it) from most people here

  5. 100k a year, and only saves 1000 a month?
    That’s fucking nuts.

    I lived in Shanghai a few years ago on around 40k.
    And I was easily saving 2k a month.

  6. Can’t believe no-one has picked up that he is paying tax voluntary in Ireland. Great Lad, but fuck it save your money. Build up your nest egg.
