    Best low cost savings index account for children

    Probably not rational but I don’t like to pay off the cheapest debt I’ll ever have right now. I’ve already paid off some. Also thinking about things like life cover where mortgage paid on death and cheap bank fees. Fiscally I know you are right but I take a measured approach and can’t bring...

    Sinn Féin's tax proposals?

    Yikes so that’s 55% tax rate. I wonder do folks know they are voting for more taxes actually not less with SF :) . You would think income tax for middle to middle high earners is pretty tapped already at this point guess not. How will folks in Dublin pay rents them if they pay more tax. Oh I...
