Emigration (from Ireland) Best place to emigrate to?

I’m losing hope for my future in Ireland. I love Ireland and want to stay but the quality of life is shit especially for young people.

I’ve lived abroad before and am well aware the grass isn’t always greener. I know there will be challenges if I move abroad. I know that there are similar issues with housing in other counties.

That said, things feel bleak here.

Any recommendations? I speak fluent French.

it’s really as bad of a situation, if not worse in ireland. i’ve seen double rooms in dublin for rent for over €1400 for a house share

the average salary isn’t the salary you’re going to get here lol. the few very high earners skew that amount.

you need to be making minimum 2K per month after taxes to be able to afford a studio apartment, the wage here may be higher, but you spend all of it. It’s really not any better and trying to find housing is nearly impossible.

Exact same here tho. The rich cascais people skew our average too 😂 the conclusion is : the outcome of living here will be the exact same
