I thought this too - I don't know what the quality is like but just looked on daft and seems to be plenty of places for around the €500/month mark...but of course, that's all relative to what you're currently getting for your €650/month.Is your rent a bit high at 650pm?
You already know this but it's pointless is it not. If they are sitting around gathering dust - then nobody is getting the benefit of them. You obviously see some value in them - so most likely someone else will too....in which case, you get some $ in the knowledge that someone out there will enjoy them to the full.dublin8 said:I also buy Art regularly, noting expensive - €100-€300. Its at the point where I have stacks and stacks of canvases against walls. And no where to put them. Again, i really don't want to part with these either.
Sounds like your onto a good deal then relative to what your paying (even if your budget for rental should ordinarily be set lower). Would you consider renting a room?The rent I'm paying is for a house that is worth about twice what I'm currently paying. It's rented from a relative.
Yes - there are additional costs - so you have to weigh this one up to see whether it's a practical move or not. I think your better tackling it from the point of consumption - and you've already identified use of tumble dryer. I have always had one - but rarely use it. Clothes line during the Spring/Summer/Autumn and clothes horse indoors at all other times.The electricity is quite high. I never looked into a day/ night meter. Is there any cost involve in getting one installed? What times would the electricity be cheaper?
I ring at least ten brokers or insurance companies each year (despite the fact that one seems to almost always have the best deal - both for car and house insurance...bizarre - but it never stops me checking. Insurance companies do benefit from customer lethargy - as people get out of the habit of checking, leave it too late, etc. - and just work of the renewal notice.Yes my insurance is high but I have alot of stuff (the house came unfurnished). I also have a few high value items listed on the poicy and theft/ damage/ loss cover on laptops and camera equipment
I guess this is a personal choice but then anyone replying to you here is likely to be practical rather than emotive in how they respond to this. i.e. I guess there's no wrong answer whichever way you go on this - but obviously, you have to look at other areas to balance the books as a consequence.I'm in the process of trying to find someone who I can lend art to - schools etc don't seem very interested. So I'll keep going with this. I've decided that I'd much prefer to lend rather than sell.
Thank you everyone for your helpful replies!
Just to answer a few of your quiries,
