Budget 2026: The day after the Budget before - here's the reaction and our analysis
"Budget 2026 didn't put money back into the average worker's pocket, but who said you can't take matters into your own hands?"
"Yesterday's budget proved to be a damp squib, especially for the average Irish worker, but there are ways to save money without having to rely on politicians."
"We have compiled a guide on how you can save €1,000 or more without having to wait around for income tax cuts or more Child Benefit."
Yesterday's budget left the average worker without extra take-home pay. Practical, individual actions can increase disposable income by €1,000 or more within a year. Steps include cutting recurring bills, cancelling unused subscriptions, switching providers, using cashback and loyalty programs, refining grocery and energy habits, negotiating contracts, and reviewing tax credits and entitlements. Consolidating or refinancing debt and regularly auditing household spending can deliver immediate savings. Combining several of these measures produces meaningful financial relief without relying on policy changes or delayed government support.
