    You should be very proud of yourselves that you have no credit card debt and that you only have a small loan for the renovation expense. (Most young American couples are saddled with debt.). The easiest way to be frugal is to not succumb to impulse spending - I always wait a few days before I buy something that is tempting but is not a necessity. So glad you are posting more on uTube.

      Thanks so much. It’s much harder to take out lines of credit here. In America they make it very easy. 😘😘

    You can estimate to pay a little less than 2€ per l. A gallon is about 4 l - so 8€ per gallon - which equals to 9 dollars a gallon.

    $3000/month sounds decent for what seems like an upper middle class lifestyle (2 cars, renovated home, entertainment and dining out). That is all after tax spending, of course.

      Sounds perfectly fine - I spend 1,500€ a month for my teenage son and I over here in Germany (700€ fixed expenses and another 800€ on food, clothes, hygiene, school supplies …). My home is not half as nice as theirs - way smaller too.
      I think they build a good existence for themselves.
      I think they must be high earners - cause I would think Italians only make 1,500€ a months a lot of the time.

    There are so many bloggers who sell American audience that Italy is so cheep. Finaly someone honest and realistic. I live in north of Italy, and i can tell its real numbers. We as a family of 3 spend something like that on living expenses. Also childcare ( asilo etc.) Would be interesting to compare.

    • @Santindarainitaly
      @Santindarainitaly  2 месяца назад +3

      In respect to America it’s cheaper but then again salaries are much higher in America, so it’s all relative. Exactly, as a family with kids there are just more expenses. And I didn’t even get into shopping/clothes expenses 😳

    I am coming to Sicily in September for several months, I am registered to go to Italian learning school in Palermo. I am looking for Villages to go and see while I am there, I want to move to Sicily. I would love if you could share.

    Mamma mia Italy is a little bit expensive!!
    I live in some Asia country and I do for everything with equivalent of 400 Euro at month , apartment for rent in a building of 20 floors , at month 126 Euro , electricity 12 Euro , water 3 Euro, here we not need gas ,because we are all year in hot temperature daily and night about from 28 to 35 degrees!! I have the car and Vespa, every day I eat fish , generally with 8 Euro you can eat a mixed fish !!

      Unfortunately Italy pays very much for gas, and this influences also the electricity costs, because most of the electricity comes from thermic power plants that run on gas. We pay a lot for gasoline also, and this influences a lot of costs, because usually goods need transportation.

    It's NOT "way more" in America. I used to live in Sicily and it's more expensive. Water, electricity and gas at home is double what we pay. You pay $80 a month for trash!? That's insane!
    You're comparing California prices to Sicily prices. California is so expensive people are fleeing the state because tax money is being used to fund illegal aliens while the homeless people litter the streets with feces and drugs.
    Vehicle fuel is OUTRAGEOUS in Sicily, always has been. No, we dobt pay $5 or $6 a gallon, that's Commiefornia.
    You have "free healthcare" which is CRAP. I know I lived there and if you dont pay for private healthcare, you get crap care.
    Of course you think it's cheaper because you lived in the worst place in America...California.
