Well Denise, thank you. You'll see I read and answered Scott's first, but yest, I would have thought a good bit less I could live on. I'd love to know more about your story, where you're going, if you think you'll work, buy etc. There are very few people standing in line to go off to Leitrim! If you'd like, drop me a line at pattyoshea@comcast.net. Thanks.

: Patricia - I leave for Ireland next week with
: the intent of starting a new life in
: Leitrim. We have a similar profile. I do
: know that it is very difficult to "get
: a job" there however it is perfectly OK
: to be self-employed. This works for me plus
: I have a tiny pension. Leitrim is very
: affordable - have you looked at www.daft.ie
: for an idea of rents? It is a bit of a
: process relocating but can be done. Everyone
: seems to have different stories about how
: they did it. I suggest you rent for 6 months
: and see how you like it before fully
: committing to buying a home.
: Maybe we will see each other!

: Hello fellow Ireland dreamers, and those
: already there.
: Here's my question; I'm well aware of the
: economy in Ireland, jobs situation etc. I am
: 50ish, single (div'd, kids on their own),
: have lots of 1st cousins in Leitrim, would
: love to go. Is this a workable idea if I
: figure I give myself 2 yrs. worth of savings
: to live on - will have to calculate what
: that is - until I may for sure get myself a
: little job. I'm thinking that as to buying a
: small home, the next year or two would
: actually be a good time. Are there any other
: brave folks out there (over the 20's) who
: did this on their own? Would love to hear
: how it went. Thanks, Patricia
