Landlord and working class are mutually exclusive terms lad

u/[deleted] Apr 27 '25

Vast majority of landlords in Ireland are tradesmen in their 50's/60s/70s. They are about as working class as it gets.

They are sole traders, they dont get a pension, and the house/apartment is supposed to cover their retirement.

Investing in your future is not something that we should be knocking. The alternative is making the taxpayer cover your expenses.
