Dublin. 1500 euro after tax no rent no mortgage?

Question

to pay. i will use public transport, will i be ok with such little amount of money per month?

I know Ireland is very expensive so i don't know if my wage would be ok to live in such an expensive place.

Answer 1

1500 is plenty for spending money per month. I struggle to spend 1000 in a month.  Transport will cost a good bit, but just get a monthly ticket that costs about €100 so you get unlimited transport for that month. €1500 is more than enough.

Answer 2

You'll be ok, the most expensive thing in Dublin is rent and you don't seem to be paying it - If you shop for food in supermarkets you would be spending about 50 euro a week (or even less! it depends what you buy, of course). If you want to go out to eat there are affordable options and a night out will be as expensive as you want (depending on how much booze you can swallow - pints about 4.50-5 euro, cocktails about 7-10 euro). Also you can find good and affordable clothes. I'd say you'll be able to save plenty of money!

Answer 3

Easy!

Answer 4

If you are used to living frugally, then you should just about manage. Try not to use taxis too much. And don't go out drinking too often, that will bleed you dry in Dublin. You don't have other bills like utilities?

Answer 5

If you have only yourself to feed and entertain, then over 300 euro per week is plenty.  If you have a family, and perhaps creche facilities to pay for, that could be a different story.  See if you can put some by for phone and electricity bills etc., which you will probably have to cover even if you don't have  rent or mortgage. My recent electricity bill was 175 euro for 2 months, and there are just two of us in the house.  But keep remembering, there are thousands of Dubliners all managing on what you will have, or less.  You will too.  Enjoy your stay, and Fáilte romhat  (welcome).
