They Left NYC for a $13,000 House in Italy
About this episode
Cassandra discusses her move from NYC to a $13,000 house in Italy and the implications of such a lifestyle change.
Cassandra and her husband made headlines after leaving New York City to buy a home in rural Italy for just $13,000. She breaks down what motivated the move, how she’s adjusted to life in a tiny mountain town, embraced a lower-cost lifestyle, and whether trading the conventional American dream for a simpler life abroad was worth it. Plus: Jill and Mark explain what SpaceX’s inclusion in Nasdaq index funds actually means for investors, and why one TikToker’s recommended tax loophole is complete nonsense. Have a money question?
