I could not imagine living back in the US full-time: Family leaves New York, buys $13,000 home in Italy and later purchases a second property

A New York family found an unexpected escape in rural Italy, purchasing a home for a mere $13,000. This move not only granted them mortgage-free living but also drastically cut their expenses, transforming their outlook on life. With a slower pace and significantly lower costs for essentials like childcare and utilities, they've embraced a new, less stressful existence, with no plans to return to the US.
