    "story_excerpt": "Ok maybe it’s just me, but I honestly don’t get it anymore.\n Every time I open Instagram or TikTok I see people my age living this whole dream in Italy Aperitivos everywhere, weekends away, cute restaurants, random little trips. And I keep asking myself: how? How do you all do it?\n Because I work, I’m not sitting around doing nothing, and by the end of the month my salary gets swallowed whole by rent, bills and groceries.\n That “dolce vita” they sell you abroad, the relaxed Italy where you live well on very little, I can’t find it anywhere.\n Either salaries here are miserable and nobody wants to say it out loud, or there’s something I’m completely missing. Prices went up on everything but pay has been frozen since twenty years ago.\n    submitted by    /u/Useful_Ad_558  \n [link]   [comments",
