He gave up his life in New York and bought a house for only $13,000: I failed the American dream

Cassandra Tresl and her husband Alex Ninman, originally from New York, moved to Italy in 2019 and now live in a small town in Abruzzo. They purchased a two-story house for around $13,000, which they renovated at a cost of approximately $17,000. The couple chose to move away from the fast-paced American lifestyle to enjoy a more relaxed existence in a close-knit Italian community. Tresl left her technology job to work in marketing for an Italian travel agency, allowing her greater flexibility in her schedule. While their income has decreased compared to their time in the U.S., they find the lower cost of living, including food and childcare, more manageable. They emphasize the value of community life in Italy, where neighbors interact frequently and local festivals bring people together. Tresl expressed that she felt she had failed the 'American dream' by choosing this different path.
