Sending money to Italy from the UK or US? 💸 I compared six money transfer providers to see how much you could get for £5,000 or $5,000 — and the difference was more than €100 in the UK comparison. Here's what I found 👇 ilconto.substack.com/p/how-t… #Italy #PersonalFinance

What's the biggest financial mistake you made after moving to Italy? I've just written about three of mine. Some were expensive lessons. Hopefully they'll save someone else from making the same mistakes. ilconto.substack.com/p/three…

Italian banks can charge for all sorts of things. Transfers, ATM withdrawals, debit cards, even just having an account. Here's what to watch out for when opening or switching 👇 ilconto.substack.com/p/how-t… #Italy #ItalyExpat #MovingToItaly #ItalianBanking

Italy's €1 houses sound like a bargain. They're not. Here's what they actually cost — and who they make sense for. ilconto.substack.com/p/what-…… #Italy #ItalyExpat #MovingToItaly #ItalyProperty #Expat #ItalianRealEstate

Italy is selling homes for €1. They're not actually €1. I broke down what a "€1 house" really costs, from application to keys to the finished renovation. 🧵

The number that matters most: renovation costs. For a modest ~100m² house, one engineer put realistic budgets at €60,000–€250,000.

So who should actually consider one? Here's a full breakdown of the process, the hidden costs, and who these deals genuinely make sense for 👇 ilconto.substack.com/p/what-…

Charged €60.50 by @Ryanair because their app wasn't working and I consequently narrowly missed out on their 2 hour check in window. Explained this to staff, but was ignored. Now the flight is signicantly delayed. Double standards. Passengers deserve better

Are there any consumer or retail analysts out there keen to share their thoughts on the buy it for life (BIFL) movement and whether it delivers financial value for an article I am writing for Moneywise? #Journorequest #BuyItForLife #ConsumerBehavior #RetailInsights

Keen to talk with financial advisors about conversation starters to break the ice with new clients and, for a separate article, any tips you may have for young financial advisors starting out. Both articles are for Investopedia. Care to comment? #journorequest #financialadvisor

L'anno scorso @AudaxEnergiaIta mi ha fatto pagare due volte la stessa fattura e ora ignorano la mia richiesta di rimborso. A febbraio mi è stato detto "La Sua richiesta è stata presa in carico dall'ufficio competente."Da allora nulla, e hanno smesso di rispondere alle mie e-mail.
Qualcun altro ha avuto problemi ad aprire un conto corrente con @INGItalia? Mi arriva sempre lo stesso messaggio: "non è possibile dare seguito alla tua richiesta” e neanche il servizio clienti mi sa aiutare (ho parlato con tre persone). Cose da pazzi veramente.

Sono sconvolto da come @VodafoneIT tratta i suoi clienti. Mai avuto un servizio clienti così scadente in vita mia. #Vodafone #poorcustomerservice

Buongiorno @INPS_it , la mia domanda #600euro, fatto il 2 aprile, risulta ancora in attesa di esito. Come posso contattarvi per sapere il motivo? Chiamo vostro call centre da giorni ma non riesco mai a parlare con qualcuno.
