What a sad statement to make - I am friends with many Italians, they do not think highly of their own country in money terms at all, but unlike some Muppets in the UK do NOT constantly slag it off despite their many issues.
We are an expensive country to live in I agree - we are also the 6th richest country in the world. Whilst it might not feel like it to folks, it is a fact.
I can't stand slagging off our own place - smacks of being English.
Sidenote - City prices are fabulous value for money, my ST means I pay less than £11 a game.
I've been to the San Siro - its a dump!

You carry on feeling how you want to feel. I’ll leave whenever I get the chance and won’t look back.

Leaving is a lot easier said than done I would imagine now the U.K. is out of the EU & you can't just up & move to too many countries if any at all.
