finished 5th year in school.
Part time job in Supervalu. And working with the father plastering in the summer. Well labouring. So was actually good money as a 17 year old. First proper girl friend as well. And a bit of freedom going out drinking. Good times to say the least.

Buying a yacht while working part time is pretty impressive.
The boom, much like the bust thankfully, passed me by.

I was ripping the piss There was one lad on here after the boom circa 2010 (think it was Vivakenbarlow or SirAlex) boasting about their property portfolio For 95% of my purchases my mindset has always been if you dont have the money to pay for it in your account you can't buy it. |

Using that logic you would never buy a house or start a business or for some buy a car. It depends on what you are buying and what the interest rate is.

Drinking over priced pints 7 nights a week. Partied hard! Thankfully I bought my current gaf right at the bottom in 2012 so you win some, you lose some. Remember builders on sites in 2006 were saying the arse was going to fall out of the market, credit drying up, etc. Nobody listened. Was talking to a builder the other day and he reckons they'll have a boom 12/18 months then is expecting a crash in their field. Forget your financial experts on newstalk or rte. One thing I did learn is that the labourers and taxi men were first to see signs of the crash

There is no skill in saying there is a crash, the skill is to say the extent of it and the timing although that’s more luck too.

Tbh I'm more talking about lads "on the grounds" experience. I remember at the peak in 06 a carpenter telling me the work has started to dry up, that there seemed to be an issue with getting paid, etc - everyone else was saying there be no crash. A number of months later, bang!!!

I don't think housing will cause any downturn for a long time. There's such a big shortage I'd be surprised if in 5 years they're freely available.

Remember having the same conversations with chippies when I flew home every few months. Slowly bit by bit you could see during 2006 things were slowing. Charlie pulled a stroke with stamp duty in a budget around 2004 which gave the sector a 24 month boost but then the arse fell out of things. Luckily for Charlie he had high tailed long before the collapse. It wasn't a coincidence either I suspect.

My business went bang at the start in 2006 as contractors went bust. Saw it coming a mile away.
I was ‘painting houses’ for a year as I couldnt draw the scratch as I was ‘self-employed’. Good times all the same although it spawned some amount of kunts.

This stroke kept things going for awhile. Remember it well. A few months later he headed to Brussels knowing full well what was coming.
