Make sure the youngest picks a college they can commute to.
Can the oldest transfer to a commutable college? Living independently in college is a luxury not many can afford, and many students I know are doing long bus journeys. Lots of courses don't have high contact hours so it's doable.
The alternative is they find a job and fund their own accommodation.
Thank you for those answers.
PIP wont allow us to claim until january 2014 and then it will pay half the mortgage for 1 year so we were going to hold onto it until then. Is this a good idea? or should we go ahead and cancel now? PIPs absolutely useless imo.
Eldest cannot transfer and youngest wants course in UCD also. Do others get the kids to fund college themselves? As far as I can see parents seem to give kids unlimited funds? we certainly dont and wouldn't even if we had it.
We are trying to sell house but no interest so far? We want to downsize in everyway.
So I gather that mortgage wise we have it good since we have tracker?
In the meantime until the house sells we are financially sinking, but I suppose not in dire straits yet?
. We do get a grant which covers the fees but we have to pay €460 a month for accomadation and approx €30/m to cover all bills.
The maintainence grant of €3125 is used to cover her travel and living expenses.
