£36k saved up isn't as great as I initially though. Those housing costs are triple what I pay now! I'm also a big fan of staying close to work, so a daily commute is not an option (although a weekly commute would be fine, I guess the lack of ability to claim travel+living expenses doesn't really make this appealing). Mind you, it's still more than the average household earns GROSS of tax so it's not something to turn one's nose up at!
I'm the kind of person who will put his hand in the fire if somebody tells him not to, so you just know I'm going straight to Noctor's pub if I do go to Dublin now.
