For our American friends, as a Frenchman living in Belgium (my father is Belgian), electricity and gas bills are almost $350 per month. The average cost for a decent home is $1,000. The cost of living is higher than in Italy; for example, you need almost $300 here for food. There are many taxes, similar to France and Italy, but healthcare is almost free. Salaries range from $1,600 to $3,000, depending on whether you are a nurse, physician, engineer, etc. In my case, as a chemical engineer, I earn around $2,500 net of tax. If you have a high level of education and are proficient in Dutch or French, Belgium can be a good alternative. By the way, there is a large Italian community in Belgium. 😄 God bless Europeans and our American brothers.

When I visited Italy I was shocked I was able to eat a whole pizza. So light and fluffy delicious fresh ingredients. Here in the US, 2 slices I’m stuffed like a thanksgiving Turkey.
-
The quality of food in Italy is also way higher than in the US. Particularly if you go to greengrocers or other specialist shops where the quality for the price is mind blowing.

I'm with Alessio. Retiring in Italy would be amazing.

About houses, prices in Friuli are not the prices of Rome, Milan.. But don't forget that our houses are not made of wood and cardboard!!

Passeggiata (hope i spelled that correctly), the evening stroll. We visited Italy, it was our first time, so we chose a guided tour. Our guide explained the passeggiata to us (we're American living in NC) and it sounds like such a wonderful custom. Finish work and then take a deep breath and relax a little, take a little walk, have an appertivo and then go enjoy your dinner. Granted, these were all in the cities where each neighborhood had a town square. So different than here in the US, where we're constantly running somewhere, rushing through dinner, on to the next thing. That was years ago and i still dream about the food...even the smallest little place you just run across has the most incredible food. The carbonara in Rome, a fabulous squid ink pasta with seafood in Venice (i would travel back for that dish alone)...and the pastry. Granted, you can't compare a vacation to actually living there, but i wouldn't mind trying LOL. Thank you both for always taking us along in your adventures. Love you ❤

Go For It! You Are Living With A Native So You Are Halfway There!

I'm so glad you created this video. Many people who visit Italy on vacation (myself included) come away with the idea that they will someday buy a house there and live either temporary or permanently. Your video, based on facts, helps put costs and salaries in perspective. If I were in my mid to late 20's or in my 30's (which I'm NOT) I could envision spending a year or maybe more working as a wait staff person and renting a cheap apartment just to live life to its' fullest in Italy.

I live in the southern part of the US and food is a lot more and the prices are more then than you are quoting. The houses here are very expensive. The younger people starting out can't afford them.

I'm living in Alicante, Spain and visited Italy last year. If we talk about prices, Spain is cheaper, but I don't talk about big cities like Madrid and Barcelona. In our city it's still affordable to live, although prices increased for the past 3 years. We pay around 100-150 € for utilities, 1000€ for food/2ppl. 45 cents public transportation one way ticket, 30-50€ meal out/2ppl. You can buy an apartment for 80.000+€ We love it here 🇪🇸

I'm an Irish expat that's been living in Malta for the last 18 years and I REALLY want to re-locate to Italy. I'd love to see more of your videos about living in Italy 💜 I'm a digital nomad and EU citizen so work isn't a problem, luckily. I do worry about the language though. I am learning Italian but it's a slow process for me

I moved to Italy from Canada, although definitely a culture shock, I am so glad I did it. I hope youmake the best decision for you both 😊

Great video. While we are only planning a trip to Italy. My wife and I are thinking of retiring there. So my utmost thanks for this video.
-
Absolutely love you guys this videos! You two are the most loving beautiful couple I have seen on YouTube! I wish you all the happiness in the world❤❤❤
-
Thank you so much....going in September and should be there full time next spring and can't wait!! Grazie Mille.
-
This was so interesting. Thank you for creating. I live on the US west coast where housing is very expensive because there is limited supply. Although very affordable, I can see that purchasing a home for someone earning their income in Italy would definately be a life long investment.
-
Saw you two on The Today Show yesterday! Great job! Also, really enjoyed the information in this.
-
I’ve seen your videos here and there and I just want to thank you for your wholesome content. All the best ❤
