I'm Italian myself. With your 110k per year your salary is clearly above average in Europe, while this is a normal salary for the Eastcoast or Westcoat in the USA. So you actually have the best of both worlds: high American income and cheap/moderate costs in Italy, in a Western country where you have the full rights.

All I m seeing are negative comments of haters just hating on a young man raising his family. Military members do pay taxes as well. If you are willing to die for your country, you better be compensated generously like this young man after sacrificing over a decade of his life. If you haters are just miserable and want to better your life,no one is stopping you to join the military if you pass the requirement.

My husband was in air force for 13 years as enlisted and now he is an officer in Navy. He will be able to retire within 9 years with at least 5K monthly pension. We live in military base housing and other than internet we pay nothing. Thanks to Japanese yen, living cost is so much cheaper than living in the states. Our next plan is also getting a station in Italy after 5 years of living in Okinawa, Japan where we truly enjoying our lives now. Then, we would like to retire in Portugal just like him. I worked as a RN for 5 years and heavily invested for those years. I have enough money to not work anymore. I still do some trading with stocks and putting capital gains which is range from 2k to 7k per month into long term investment. My husband saved up more than half a million now and expecting to retire with at least a million. We manage our money separately and it has been working great. :)

What do you mean you pay nothing? No subscriptions, phone bills, insurance? or where you just referring to housing utilities?

I live in Friuli Venezia-Giulia and I'm also doing FIRE and he is making a tone of money to pay 1,650 euros in rent. I mean, my monthly salary is 1,650 euros/month. His lifestyle is way beyond upper middle class: he is living extremely comfortably, possibly in the 5% of Italians considering how much he travels and splurges on many things, but that is due to the fact that he makes an American salary in a country where the cost of living is probably 1/5 :) Super happy for him, but it's easier to reach FIRE if you earn an American salary but live in a European country.

I known it because my wife had a house in Marsure and it was 4 beds 2 baths...huge... and at that time she was alone. On top of this, he's bills are paid, and car gas as well. As much as he is a better example than most people, he isn't financially smart he just lives a life that only 1 million people in the world live...the military members, no one else. So, not really an example for everyone.

Sounds like a great plan that this guy has for his family. I really hope that marriage lasts otherwise he might get taken to the cleaners. I know I am a pessimist😆

I'm favoured, $22,000 every week! I can now give back to the locals in my community and also support God's work and the church. God bless America.

He might be in the core of the city center

Retiring and living on savings is not the way to go. Money will run out eventually with medical health bill to consider in old age. The value of money will depreciate over time due to inflation so 1million today will seem like 100k in the future. Retiring and having savings generate a passive income that will appreciate in value is important

Oh that's it only 110k a year? No clue how he manages to live in such poverty.

An overseas military service member salary of 110,000 is the equivalent of probably $200,000 for a civilian in the United States. Good for them. But they are treated very well by a generous Uncle Sam.

as soon as he said i’ve saved 500,000 at 31, i stopped watching.. 99% of the population by 31 wont have that sort of money in their lifetime, let alone at 31, of course then you can retire by 40. Thumbs down.

@@krewetkaaaa not sure why both facts have to interfere with each other.. he’s saving more because he has an American salary and European expenses.. but if we make an apples to apples comparison (Europeans luv in Europe and Americans living in America) then the median European saves more than the median American. Look up global networth statistics

The math isn't mathing. Let's break it down. In the original article they mention his family's spending in March 2024. "Savings and investments: $2,230 deposited into his TSP and taxable brokerage account" Assuming his amount of income saved has remained the same during his 13 years of service (age 18 to 31), he would have been contributing $26,760 annually (12*$2,230) With an average return rate of 6% (conservatively) he would have just over $500,000 after 13 years. (Roughly $505,286.00) Base pay in the military is less than that when you first join at E1 like he stated, so he physically could not have save $26,760 his first few years. It is near IMPOSSIBLE to save $2,230 a month until hitting at least E4 (based on 2011 pay charts) when the annual basic pay for E4 was 2,230.80 (an almost exact match to the figures they claim mind you) Even with the benefit of the doubt and not getting any of his income taxed wouldn't put him at the figures they suggest in the article. Even if he saved money from his housing and food allowance it would be near impossible. A realistic expectation from 18 to 31 would be around $122,733.89-$159,397.63 on a maxed contributions Roth IRA My math might be wrong but I hope this gives a little more insight into how these claims are harmful to those saving what they already can.

@zackfoster8857

You are absolutely right. Assuming he enlisted at 18, it would not be possible. Also, I went on the Air Forces website and the max salary is 55k for enlisted E7. Given that being in the military covers the majority of the cost of living, but this guy is wearing nice clothing and watches. He would have had to inherited some of the money and or hit a massive equity return such as bitcoin.

Thank you for your service 🫡
