Over the last few years I have simplified my finances in order to get a mortgage and apply for medical cards and maybe Family Income Supplement (now WFP ?).
My policy is that I will not save long term. I will spend any extra cash on holidays or a car. Any lump sum would be used for home improvements. This will ensure that I am always eligible for a medical card and "SUSI" education grants and FIS/WFP payments.
Is this a good financial strategy in Ireland ?
I was self employed for 12 years and went into a PAYE job for 12 months and have now gone part-time as a PAYE worker.
