After leaving New York City and buying a home in rural Italy for just $13,000, Cassandra Tresl said she has no desire to return to America permanently. The mother of one, who moved to Italy with her family in 2023, says the lower cost of living, mortgage-free homeownership and slower pace of life have transformed their future. “At this point in our lives, I could not imagine living back in the US full-time,” she was quoted as saying by the New York Post.
Cassandra Tresl and her husband decided to leave New York behind and move to a small town in Italy after finding a house that cost only about $13,000. The move not only gave them a mortgage-free home but also significantly reduced their living expenses and changed their perspective on work, family, and everyday life.
