## Resource

A Leinster clerical officer earning €2k/month after tax is laser-focused on saving for a mortgage, living at home with parents to accelerate that goal. A musician on the side, they’re disciplined, aiming to save €440/month plus gig earnings. The week started with coffee, gym time, and a pricey lunch — then spiraled with illness from over-gigging, forcing them to skip rehearsals until they got free whiskey. By Friday, they bounced back, splurging on an Airbnb and a fiddle summer school, then cashed in with a successful gig. Sunday brought a memorial, beer, and crisps. Looking back, they realize cooking at home and pacing themselves could boost savings — and health — without sacrificing their musical hustle.
