      Insurance period in FL. Home insurance is through the roof - 7k a year for a beat up house in the stix, let alone something nice. And that's not even covering medical costs. FL has some of the most expensive medicine in the US. I actually visit relatives out in other parts of the US for anything that's not an ER visit. The airfair + out of pocket is half of what I'd be charged in FL.

      ​@peaceful_chaos14 Notice how the original commenter said "1 bed" and didn't specify if there was a bathroom. It's possible it's one of those apartment setups where multiple units share a bathroom. In that case, 2700 is in range depending on what part of the city. I personally wouldn't live in NYC.

      Same in Florida. It’s based on purchase price. If you buy a $500k home taxes are closer to $12,000 not $2000. I bought my house in 2015 for $238k and my taxes are $4k. You can look up any house on the county property appraisers website and most have a purchase price calculator.

      Yup the real median income is less than 40k a year per individual. 2/3 of the workforce is making an average 36k a year or less. They average out all the highest earner salaries to make the median income look higher so they can justify the rent prices. I know people who work 2 full time jobs and are still homeless.

This may or may not mean that your employer has to shut down for the whole week. If you get flooded, you’re not leaving your house for 3 days. If you’re employer is decent, they’ll pay you to sit at home, if not, your out of a paycheck for a week or two. Seriously, I know TX has its issues, but it’s definitely a better move.

I pay 300+ for 2 vehicles, and i have a perfect record. Verus Texas i was paying only 150 a month. Groceries are higher here, gas higher here, fuel taxes properly than Texas. Groceries sucks here. Shout out to a HEB, aka Central Market. Pubiix in FL sucks. Apt in Texas is high, Dallas areas new apt, easily 1500-2k for a 1bd, Florida and be the same depending where you at can way higher. Twxas has way better higher salaries. Depending on field easily 75k plus. I work in Texas, making over 100k, while i still stuck here. I paided 400k for my house in Fl, 30 mins from beach.

      You need a car in Miami too. lol. Are you living and working in the tourist trap? You'll be fine. But unless you can afford a 10k studio, you'll probably be driving.

    Both states are GREAT!!! I live in Houston, Texas and visited Florida a few times. Both states seems to be very similar only Florida has THE BEST BEACHES hands down.
