    I have a job. I quit it. I finish up in 8 days... Emplyment is over rated.

    Try self employment, If you want to work and be broke, it's perfect.
    Great gas altogether.

    Shut up student, your opinion is irrelevant.

    I think he means quite a lot people who claim to be unemployed actually have a job and are fraudulently claiming dole....which i agree with.

    The way people go on you would swear over 50% of the population are unemployed.

    Wages have gone down though and as people are worried there is a lot less money in circulation. The negative talk is actually a bigger problem than the reality.

    I know a couple who must be the lucklist people in the world as they have two jobs each. Both are teachers and at weekends and during the summer he paints and decorates and she baby sits and child minds. He is great value, I got him to price a job and he came in well over Euro 400 than any one else and he came when he promsed and had it done when he said.
    She is brilliant and her two children are the same age as ours. Once we had to go away for a weekend and our usual childminder let us down, we just contacted her and although she had two other children along with her own said no problem and only charged 40 euro per child two per 24 hour day, amazing value.

    They don't sound lucky. They sound hard working.

    Of course they are declaring tax on that income.

    That doesn't sound lucky that sounds like hard work due to the massive amount of holidays their jobs give.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,037 ✭✭✭Nothingbetter2d


    live register shows that unemployment is at 14% but what they dont factor in is the people on lone parent allowance so unemployment figures are actually quite a bit higher

    How exactly? The op never mentioned their taxes. What has been said that would in any way indicate they are dodging tax?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,923 ✭✭✭cloptrop


    i was miserable working , i do enjoy getting up with the kids now i have to admit
    working isnt what it used to be , moneywise
    im not saying i wouldnt take a job today if it was offered but i wouldnt call someone slaving away on minimum wage lucky

    the fact he is running a painting and decorating business and charging 400 quid less than the competition

    Ah so cheap prices mean tax dodging. I better tell the revenue about this place I was in called Lidl.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,923 ✭✭✭cloptrop


    she is charging 40 euro for 24 hours of childminding ,whats the vat on that?
    he is part time painting and decorating so i doubt hes painting huge houses , to have a difference over the competition by 400 quid on a small job is suspicious ,
    im not bothered either way but thats what it looks like,
    when do these people spend time with their families , i imagine every free minute they get is spent counting their money

    €0 if she's making less than €37,500 a year.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,923 ✭✭✭cloptrop

    Couldn't care less what other people declare or don't declare when it comes to their earnings, best of luck to them if they are earning a nice but of extra cash.
