The boom came and went before I was old enough to ever benefit form it so same place - at home.

candy-gal1

When is this "boom" so? Or are you talking well into the future when there may be one, or years ago when there was one?

some random drunk

Back home with Mammy!

krudler

Castle Greyskull, gonna move to somewhere more affordable though the mortgage is killing me.

ballsymchugh

was in england for the boom, and moved back just in time for the crash, so now back in england again!

Augmerson

Renting. Doubt I will ever buy. Scared ta **** of owing some **** Bank a **** load of money for some dingy 3 bed semi next to affordable housing. Still in Ireland, hope I can stay a while longer.

Is it pretty sad I actually got refused dole?

FANTAPANTS

own house wish i didnt council bought up most off the houses in estate and moved scum bags in...full of druggies and out and out scum:mad::mad::mad:

Siuin

In someone else's house. As a children's slave aka aupair.

SmilingLurker

In my wife's house. She bought it at the height of the boom, negative equity, but low, low tracker...
So better off than most.

COME ON DA TOWN

Same as always. Worked my butt off before, during and after the boom, never screwed any of my customers when everyone else was doing just that, they stayed loyal and I'm busier than ever. Own the house, going nowhere, unless big Phil decides to sieze it or nationalise it. With this lot, you never do know.

You're very young though so of course not!

I'll be living in sheriff street again

Snowie

living with my parents

No morgage no gf no life/ saving


Hoping to leave Ireland in november France or Austria :cool:

eth0

Shared house and intend to stay that way. Even if I had a wad of money I couldn't ever justify buying a house in today's property tax ridden days with feck all job security.

Might consider joining the traveling community. Go to which ever halting site has the jobs nearby, free amenities thrown at me by the council. Get to accuse people who won't give me a job of racism

Where To

People used to laugh at me during the boom.

**** you ******!!

:pac:

Morag

Same place as before the boom, certainly didn't 'party' happy enough with the pre property boom sensible mortgage.

red menace

In Edmonton Alberta moving to Saskatchewan soon though

Scortho

living at home and commuting to college! Had i been 10 years older Id probably be in England looking for bankruptcy after some failed property development.:D

Ah here, leave it out!

I only asked you if that injection site looked infected.

o1s1n

Renting and saving. I was very lucky to get into a good career out of college 4 years ago just before everything really went to ****e.

Waiting for the house market to really bottom out and then BOOM! 4 bedroom, two sitting room, too many bathrooms to count house for peanuts.

Peanuts!

That's the dream anyway...!

Tool_

In England. The plan was to move back, but that's increasingly unlikely this side of retirement.

McChubbin

Living on Disability Allowence in my mom's house.
Kill me now.

Your avatar looks like a rodent, a charming rodent, but a rodent non the less.

Don't worry, I don't think many really ever did benefit from the boom.

rainbow kirby

Renting a relatively small 1 bedroom apartment in Dublin 8. Was finishing college (and still living with my parents) when the recession started, so had absolutely nothing to lose. Can't see myself buying any time soon, though there is a possibility of moving out of Ireland in the next year or two.

marshbaboon

Moved home to save for college. College not happening as too expensive.

If I had the money I'd be in Canada right now.

WTF?? It's a tank! A charming tank!

Ellis Dee

In my own house in rural Laois, mortgage-free and glad that there seem to be so many bargains going in the shops now that the boom has burst - as I knew years beforehand that it would. For me the Celtic Tiger was déjà vu all over again. I experienced and helped pay for the Nordic banks' big bust twenty years ago.:D:D

But few would listen to me when I said it would all end in tears if people didn't get a hold of themselves.:rolleyes:

NegativeCreep

Livin' it up at home with Mammy and Daddy dearest! Going to college in September (depending on how Wednesday goes.)
If I don't get into college, I'm gonna get a job (hopefully) and rent a scabby apartment with my friend. I need some sort of independence at this stage or I'm gonna crack up!

In the same shit boat with you. France or Australia if I could swing things right.

Very few of my friends are in Dublin too anymore. It makes me sad

TeddyTedson

My brothers house is worth about €150,000 less than what he paid for it. That would get to me. Luckily I don't own any property.

desertcircus

Moved home when my mother lost her job so that she wouldn't lose the house as well. Things sorted now, so looking for a place to rent with my partner.

Why do you mention France out of interest?

RachaelVO

Living in the Netherlands, thanking my lucky stars I never bought a blade of grass at home!

Would love to go home though, be a long time before that happens!

Pottler

On paper, I lost millions(several) in the property crash. I still own it all, it's just not worth as much. I also built and sold a fair few houses on sites I owned. Surely it can't all be "students living with their mams" on AH? I'm feeling a bit out of place. Nothing new there really though. As consolation, I drove a pile of sh1te before, during and after the boom so nothing much changed there either. Funnily enough, it's just as hard to get lads who actually want to work, still. But there's an awful lot of whinging about the lack of work going on. Ain't no lack of work here, just a lack of people really willing to work. If your eyes are open, a recession is a chance for the smaller guy to get ahead-there are opportunities everywhere, literally everywhere, you just have to look.

All my college course choices require I learn French to a fluent level so I thought if I could go abroad if only for a year, it would good to develop so my French further.



Course that's all bullshit! I'm going cause a guy said I could be a massive pornstar there! :pac:

hiram

Living near Westport. Mortgage. Working thankfully.

We just thought we did at the time . I'm living in negative equity and paycut hell.

Teyla Emmagan

At home with my (thank God for it) tracker mortgage. Bought just before the boom so still afloat.

SusieBlue

Renting, hoping to either buy or emigrate within 5 years.

omahaid

Bought well before boom, still in the same house + kids, it's nice to have a family home. Can't imagine we're in negative equity but it doesn't really matter.

Praetorian Saighdiuir

Lived with parents at the weekend and weekdays lived in work. Couldnt afford a 1/2 bed apartment in a drug den in the boom....now i have a nice larger than average house in a nice area.
