There's more financial advice out there for young people than ever—and somehow, that's making things harder, not easier. Trends like ""girl math"" and ""no-spend"" months turn budgeting into a game or a punishment, when what most young people actually need is a plan.
I'm sharing an article that gets into why all this noise is landing the way it is—and what actually helps cut through it.

Building a stronger Italian community, together. 🇮🇹🇺🇸

ITALIAN ALUMNI SUMMER APERITIVO took place last night at Spring Place, and I had the pleasure of joining this inspiring gathering of alumni from many of Italy’s most prestigious universities.

It was an evening that celebrated not only our academic roots, but also the incredible value of bringing together Italian professionals, entrepreneurs, researchers, and leaders in New York.

A special thank you to Lydia Ferrarese, from our common Alma Mater Studiorum – Università di Bologna, for her dedication and outstanding work in organizing such a successful event, together with other Chapter Leaders from amazing Italian Universities.

We were especially honored by the participation of Giuseppe Pastorelli, the Consul General of Italy in New York. During his remarks, the Consul shared an inspiring vision: creating a federation of all Italian alumni associations. The goal is to go beyond networking by building a true community with a stronger collective voice—a critical mass capable of connecting more people, fostering new collaborations, supporting innovation, and extending the reach and impact of the Italian Consulate across the United States.

By uniting alumni from different universities under a common umbrella, we can leverage our diverse experiences and networks to create opportunities that no single association could achieve alone.

Congratulations to everyone who helped make this evening such a success. The conversations, new connections, and shared enthusiasm demonstrated the tremendous potential of a united Italian alumni community.

Together, we are stronger. Together, we can amplify the impact of the Italian community in the U.S.
