HEY DICKHEADS

Married man or not,(which I am ) I physicality would not be able to do anything the amount of hours some drivers claim to do.my average working week consist of 20/24 hours a week

[Jack Meoff]

Personally I couldn’t survive on those hours every week.
Maybe it’s because taxi turnover in Dublin is a lot greater than Cork.
As you can see from my previous post at 4.43am I was starting work at that time.

Well to be honest what you said about everyones needs being different is absolutely right.I guess im just very lucky that I dont have to do those ridiculous hours some, lads do.I do the hours,and make the money I need to.I have found though,its not necessarily about working hard,its more about working smart.I have done a personal study of a number if months,and identified times,and ranks which I use.I have found this to be very beneficial insofar as getting the kind of work I like. I only use about 3/4 certain ranks,and at times you would not expect to see many takis on them.

Why are ya paying college fees Deboy? I thought it was a smart thing to do for your kids to get a part-time job and pay their way through college?Show them the value of money etc..

Bloke I used to work with ended up taxi driving too.But he works at least double the hours I do..has a newer motor and a slightly nicer gaff but he looks like death warmed up every time I see him.He looks like a pensioner and he's only in his 50s.All that extra work has to take it's toll on the body.Even when tradesmen get older they slow down and cut back on the hours.

To be honest didn’t mind paying the fees for them, wasn’t only me but wifey also.
One just finished her masters last year.
Cost 12k for one year and  working up in Dublin now.
Other child finished her degree a few years and has a nice job now.
Suppose we invested in their education and it has paid off for them.
And anyway I would go off me game if I was doing 20 hours a week.

It's a lot of extra pressure all the same.Fair play at least you like it. I hope they put you in one of them 5-star nursing homes with a jacuzzi and a sauna.

I know of plenty of taxi drivers going around in 40k plus cars and wondering how the fook they can afford it.
You then drop off a fare in some shitty council estate and you see the taxi in a driveway.
The reason they have it is because they don’t have a mortgage and will depend on the state to house them at a very low rent for life.
While I would invest in bricks and mortar and education.
No way would a bank give me 40 grand for a car.

Round where I am...........mostly cars younger than 3 or 4 yrs old............Down the road in private housing Templeogue..........mostly cars older than 3 or 4 yrs old..........

Ugly birds have high sexual expectations and it's difficult to maintain a stalker when they look for a kiss. Fat birds are the best.......they can always lose weight and you can tell them they have when the mood takes you.

You must learn Jack to learn the system .People living in Corpo Gaffs pay a differential rent based on their earnings ,a lot of renters are paying more than the would for a mortgage .Most farmers who own farms worth millions dont pay college fees they use proper tax planning .Investing in property is well and good but to whos benifit .You live in the gaff until you die then the kids sell it and spend the equity on new cars holidays or whatever think of all the effort that went in to paying for the gaff all the worry most of it not necessary .Same goes for work earn 70K as a PAYE worker after tax USC and PRSI you might see 35K do a bit of casual taxi driving earn half that pocket about 25K no stress kids if they want qualify for subsidised college fees probably medical cards and Susi Grants .Difference between smart and Educated ,Smart learns the game educated only learns the rules dosent necesserily understand them .
