Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Payday Routines: 'I'm up €60,000 since the start of the year'
Q: How do you get any sort of control on a payday routine?
She recommends planning for real emergencies separately from sinking funds for predictable irregular costs, tracking spending, and adjusting the next month's plan when expenses run over.
Payday Routines: 'I'm up €60,000 since the start of the year'
Q: Maybe you could start off by explaining what payday routines are.
Aringhieri describes a monthly system for reviewing expenses and moving salary into specific categories, including bills, shared costs, savings, investments and spending money.
'Am I being ripped off?': Understanding changes to childcare in the budget
Q: Do you have any, I hesitate to say advice, but do you think there's any way around it? Are there any other subsidies that maybe people are missing?
Coyle advises lower-income families to check their eligibility for welfare payments and the National Childcare Subsidy, and to include relevant deductions such as pension contributions and income disregards when calculating reckonable income.
'Am I being ripped off?': Understanding changes to childcare in the budget
Q: Are you saying he was spinning it, Dominic?
Coyle says the minister's figure was based on a particular 40-to-50-hour care band, but many creches in Dublin and commuter areas operate longer hours, making parents' fees higher.
Personal investment account: ‘What is the interest rate in the new scheme?’
Q: What is the interest rate in the new investment scheme?
There is no guaranteed interest rate because the money is invested in markets. A fund's value can rise or fall, and historical growth figures describe performance rather than a promised rate.
