Briefly

I moved to Italy 3 years ago. I live well on a budget and feel more optimistic about retiring than I did in the US.
"Generally, Italy has a lower cost of living than the US and moving from a big, high-cost city to a small, more rural town has really helped reduce my expenses."
"In terms of housing costs, I'm fortunate in that my Italian husband came with a 600-square-foot house... we had a spacious two-bedroom apartment... that cost us about 500, or about $589, a month."
"Now that I'm here, I also find it mind-boggling how much Americans pay for cellphone plans. In the US, I spent $80 a month on a single line. Here, I pay just 5 (or about $6) a month for 30 GB of data and unlimited calls and texts."
Relocating from San Diego to Davoli, Italy, has allowed for a more affordable lifestyle amid the cost of living crisis. The lower cost of living in Italy has made it possible to save for retirement. Housing costs are significantly reduced, with a 600-square-foot house and previous apartment costing around $589 monthly. Utility bills, including heating, are manageable, and cellphone plans are drastically cheaper. Overall, living in Italy has provided a hopeful financial future compared to the US.
