I was making less than 60k in South Florida. I decided to work remotely from Italy. My money goes much farther here. Next year when I finally start paying taxes to the Italian Uncle Samuele, I’ll see if it was really worth it.

For now I’m enjoying 4 seasons, a more active lifestyle, better tasting food, and a more safer quieter life.

I am also in Italy and my family is in the US. I am not in grad school though, just a remote worker. I’m trying to go back once a year and staying for like a month.
