Hi, I’ve just returned home from teaching abroad in a career break. Within the time I’ve been gone the cost of living in Ireland has sky rocketed. I’m trying my hardest to put 400 into savings every two weeks but I’m really living paycheque to paycheque and that’s without paying rent or not havjng any loan or major expenses. I’ve really been focused on this the past two months to track my spending. It’s not like I’m out every weekend, my main costs are groceries and and petrol coming roughly to 350 altogether if not more every two weeks.

Now that it’s summer I find I can’t enjoy it because I simply don’t have the money to. I really don’t know what I’m doing wrong. Are there any ways to make an extra bit of cash, yes I do have some grinds that stop in summer, I applied for superintendent but didn’t get called.

I’ve always been interested to know. When a girl is on top does the man prefer us girls to bounce up and down? Sometimes I’m conscious of my weight slapping down on him and boobs going everywhere or do they enjoy grinding, like riding hips back and forth?

Guys how to people know what to do with money? I come from a family with really bad debt/money issues etc so I’ve never known what to do?
I’m going to lay it all out here in case someone knows what might be my best option.

I’m not loaded, I earn around 3000 a month, I have roughly 16,500 in savings half of that in the bank half in cash - I’m 33 and living at home with parents.

I have an opportunity to buy my home house to clear my father of stress crippling debt (it’s currently in arrears and likely repossession down the line) but i don’t know - I’m single, my parents would probably get one of those mobile homes out the back so privacy I wouldn’t really have. It would probably cost 200k to get the mortgage into my name - there is work to be done which I’m sure could be done over time but do I get a larger mortgage to be able to fund this? But it’s a big house, I’m not sure I would be able to afford the mortgage and bills all on my own. However, if I look elsewhere, where am I getting a decent house for 200k? Nowhere.

Is there anyone who I can talk to - like do MABS deal with someone like me? How do people earn interest on money, like is what I have in savings even worth earning interest on?

Look I know I’ll never be loaded, I just want my own space and be able to live without constantly stressing about money. - everyone’s dream right?
