Each month when I pay my 450 euros I think it would be nice to have my own place... I know that is a pipe dream, totally unrealistic, but still, I dream. Every once in awhile I even look at the ads to see what is available. The prices have really been dropping here, but so has the value of the dollar to the euro. It puts even a modestly priced home out of my range. The attached photo is of a 3 bedroom, 2 bath, beautifully maintained and upgraded cottage on 1.5 acres. It stands at the top of a hill overlooking Lough Key. It is within a stones throw of Lough Arrow so there is fishing in several directions. It even has a new detached garage which is a rarity...perfect for a boat!! There is no one living in it so I just walked the grounds, relished the view, dreamt of the possibilities and then got in the car and drove away. It is "only" 120,000 euros but with the current exchange that is $180,000. WAY over my limit. I must be smart, practical and conservative... I'm an old pensioner now....ugh................
