11 Countries to Retire Where $150K Is More Than Enough

Ireland 

Although prices in most cities of Ireland have reached all-time highs, there are still lots of places for lower-cost and low-key retirement. Ireland doesn’t have a retirement visa option if you’re not an EU national, so you need to apply for a “D” visa that would allow you to stay for three months.

Next, your goal would be to get permission to remain as a “person of independent means”. That would mean an annual income of 50,000 euros (which is about $56,000 per person), plus other savings that would cover emergencies and large expenses, such as buying a new home or a car.
