I want to live in a quaint cottage in an Irish seaside village easy access to Galway or Cork. I just want a simple quiet life with my spouse. Garden and bake pies. Hike or bike along the Irish countryside. Travel and experience other cultures. This is my dream. Everyone thinks I’m weird that I’m not after the 2 million dollar home with a pool like they are. Why is my dream weird and unattainable. They think I set a low bar. All I need is a job where I can work remotely.

When I went to Ireland a couple years ago I took photos of real estate listings and shared them with friends back home in California. Large, updated stone homes on acreage for 1/4 the price of a shack in the Bay Area. I was only half kidding about maybe moving there.

Cork and Galway are beautiful! Your dream sounds great to me.

Are you an Irish citizen? Or have a clear path to Irish citizenship? Retiring to Ireland is actually very difficult. Maybe you have enough cash on hand to do it, but the regulations are tough. I don’t think it’s weird. I think that sounds magical. Just not an easy path.

One of your roommates (and a close friend that you’ve known for years) has a flight to catch. He has a suitcase, a duffle bag (no wheels), and a backpack. In order for him to get to the airport would you:

A) offer to drive him to the airport that’s about .5 miles away (5 minute drive)

B) tell him to order an Uber since you know his work would pay for it

C) tell him to not be lazy and walk half a mile to the nearest public transportation stop, with all that luggage, and take public transit

Wow…covid is really over. I live in a rural area where we knew covid was happening but it never really impacted the community or daily life. However when I’d go into the city it was very very obvious there were huge life impacts and fear. I just went into the city for the first time in about 3 months and it’s like covid never happened. It makes me wonder how many other things that have drastically changed (like wfh and hand sanitizer) will go back to normal as people go back to normal.
