(58,785 posts)Could be a wonderfully life enriching move.
But you may not have noticed that our problems are happening in many nations, and running away from trouble is all too liable to turn into running toward. You're not worried about serious economic instability, RW political damage, climate change including drought, drastic cuts in social services, maybe being required to turn over most of your wealth to receive elder care, growing civil unrest, and so on, so sounds like you believe you will always have the means to rise above and not depend on a social safety net you haven't paid into over your lifetime.
Hopefully, you leave no one who needs you behind here, will become positive additions to your new nation, and that Ireland is the better for you. Becoming wise voters is of course critical. But, maybe also tuck away some money in case you need to run again while you're still physically able.
Otherwise best wishes for making the most of your new life. I'd love to try living in Ireland.
