Brutal.
IRISH PEOPLE’S finances are continuing to deteriorate with the number
who say they have less than €25 to spend each week once all essential
bills have been paid increasing sharply over the last three months,
according to research published by the Irish League of Credit Unions
(ILCU). What’s Left tracker survey of the year found
that 1.82 million adults say they have less than €100 a month to spend
after bills are paid. This compares with a figure of 1.64 million it
recorded in April.
I'm not a Very Smart Economist, but I'm a bit flummoxed as to how people with less than 25 euro a week are supposed to stimulate demand. Maybe they should be fired more.
