The 4th apartment seems great, the one for 1500 eur per month thats 1 bath 3 bedroom. The rest are to expensive for barely enough space 😂

Oh my-definitely budget in for furniture rental storage. So sorry but wishing you good luck!

@Ca_1021 6 месяцев назад

This is hard because not only do you have to find an apartment you like, but also have to fancy the designs?! That’s difficult. Nice to have furniture provided but at what mental cost must we suffer 😂❤

@TarMarz 6 месяцев назад

bahahhaha 'at what mental cost' cracked me up

@emmat5871 6 месяцев назад

That bathroom with the slopped ceiling gave me student hangover vibes 😂 hope you get somewhere you feel comfortable. I left Ireland years ago, can’t believe those prices! Mental.

for reallllllll the sloped wall over bathtub is copy paste 90's bathroom 😂

I’ve been following since you had only ever lived in Ireland! I’m from the us and now live in England. It’s been great to see you go back to your home and really to see your whole evolution through the years. You’ve always really inspired me and I hope your life back in Ireland is wonderful despite the hard times you’re currently going through ❤

@TarMarz 6 месяцев назад

That is awesome! thanks for sticking around for so long and following the journey!

You can defo request the remove some furniture, in my experience if it’s like one big thing like a bed or a couch they normally agree but will want to leave everything else! 😅

@peppermonster1 6 месяцев назад

Crazy prices. I haven't lived in Ireland for 7 years and used to pay 400e for my room (and that was pricey). Wages, then rent, and zero to live off and save. It's really sad Eire.

@TarMarz 6 месяцев назад

yesss my friend used to pay €350 for a box room and I used to think that was a fortune🙈😂

@lindsey_isla 6 месяцев назад

This made me laugh so so much! I come from Wales, but I now live in Kent after living in London for years and this reminded me of Wales too. I saw some things my parents also have in their house - haha. The rabbits on the wall "are they having a dance". Hahaha. I agree, I wouldn't buy a velvet couch again either. I am keeping my fingers crossed that you find your dream place. The Universe has your back! The dream place is waiting for you. Sending love x

@TarMarz 6 месяцев назад

LOVE all of this commentary 🥲🥲🥲

@iriapereirapaz4788 6 месяцев назад

Dying at how similar this is to the Spanish housing market, the crazy prices, the (very) questionable furniture choices! Red kitchen (and even bright green you almost need sunglasses to look at) are a classic around here too. Some of these would have potential if it wasn't for the awful furniture. I'm sure you'll find a homey space, though! Good luck! 🤍

well done for staying up beat and positive through this video. That was really grim. I left Ireland 3 years ago and can honestly say i would happily never return. Its just not worth it. (I understand your family situation makes it different)

It's so horrible at the moment. Our landlord is selling the house we have lived in for 5 years and looking in Limerick is horrific. Less than 10 options available currently and only about 3 two beds which is giving me anxiety as we are running out of time

Whyyyyy is it that all Irish rentals have either: grey/black or red/black colour schemes, black and glass furniture, pine dining tables and taupe/beige bathrooms 🙈 Currently working with all of the above except the red and tbh I took that as a win which is sad 💀

@eilz2000 6 месяцев назад

I absolutely hate that most rentals come furnished. I think it’s because the Irish rental market was more catered to students. But now there are loads of people in their 30s / 40s who cannot afford to buy so have to rent! The market should really change to reflect that.

@TarMarz 6 месяцев назад

furniture is so expensive so I get it to a degree and it would be fine if it was a mix of different ranges but it's all so similar 🙈😂

@eilz2000 6 месяцев назад

@@TarMarz so true! I was lucky and the apartment didn’t come with too much furniture. So can make it my own with a couch cover and mixing in my own stuff! But when we do buy we have none of the essentials to move in with. Couch covers are the key in Irish apartments 😂

@vinccimoraless 6 месяцев назад

we would def but if we could but we both need to be paying tax here for at least a year ❤️ such a strange market to shop around in!
