The €50 Dilemma: Young Italians Face Bleak Financial Future, Sparking Debate on Cost of Living
A recent viral video by TikTok user Edorighini has ignited a national conversation about the financial struggles of young adults in Italy. In the video, the content creator meticulously breaks down the monthly expenses of an average 30-year-old earning €1600, highlighting the stark reality of disposable income. Edorighini calculates that after deducting €800 for rent, €200 for food, €150 for car payments, €150 for utilities, and €50 for various subscriptions like Netflix and Wi-Fi, a 30-year-old is left with a mere €50 per month. He provocatively states, '€50 is the amount you spend in Milan for five gin and tonics.' The video then shifts to a poignant reflection on the feasibility of long-term life goals. 'How can I make plans, want a child, or buy a house if I'm left with €50 a month?' he asks, expressing a sentiment shared by many young Italians. He further questions the broader meaning of work under such financial constraints: 'Does it make sense to work every day for five gin and tonics?' This personal account has resonated widely, drawing attention to the escalating cost of living, stagnant wages, and the challenges faced by a generation striving for financial stability and future prospects in Italy.
