Making Ends Meet: Nearly half of Florida families can't afford expenses
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 лип 2024
- Even as inflation slows, the price of food, rent, health care and other things remain much higher than they were before the pandemic. And many Florida households are struggling to make ends meet.
It's like living in the great depression with smart phones.
I couldn’t have said it better myself!
Lol "omg this is like the depression, only we can afford $1000 handheld computers".
@@pearlsswineyes that most ppl get for $0 on a contract
When we have a depression, you wont have a cell phone. Guess thats too obvious for morons.
It's only just getting started
This is everywhere in America. Not just flordia.
Not in the Midwest where I live
WHERE!?.
California New York
Nope, it takes deep pockets to live in Florida but other parts of the country are just fine.
In Illinois too but I moved out of that expensive high taxed state 10 years ago. Don’t miss it
I wish they would stop saying that people cannot afford since Covid payments stopped. Let’s look at the bigger picture people cannot afford be cause of the runaway prices and price gouging of goods and services since Covid. 🙄But yet companies are making record profits. 🧐
Covid only 3 checks. How long shall that last?
@@back2the80si thought it was 2
Yes the American Oligarchy is swimming in money. When you are driven by greed and see other American's as dogs to be trampled THIS is the result but we do worship at the feet of people like Elon Musk.
Greedy people, rent to high ,price gouging everywhere. Not so much about inflation as it is greed.
My mom doesn't high price for rent. And people still don't pay it.
*too
Might want to go back to elementary school
Also, yes. This is Bidenflation. This has everything to do with bidens terrible policies.
Let me guess.....putting a tax on tips wouldn't be your idea of greed
@@user-uh9we3hk4j No one can afford anything during this third term of Obama.
Obama REALLY wanted that third term.
Thankfully soybois can't aim.
Also, sadly, soybois can't aim.
The collateral damage they/them/zir committed is atrocious.
And DeSantis took away the the child tax credit for FLORIDA
Why?
@frankt5987 he probably said something along the lines of "its making people lazy". In other words, capitalist need workers lol
It's everywhere! Not just Florida, even overseas.
It's not just Florida! It's EVERYONE, EVERYWHERE! What's with all the increases??? How are we older people supposed to survive? I'm 60!
We older people have an advantage. We know how to cook.
It’s not everywhere. Just the states that had influxes of Californians and New Yorkers flood them during Covid. Florida, California, Texas, Arizona, Nashville Tennessee all exploded in cost of living. Mid western states and Mississippi/Alabama are still affordable.
@@dapperdino1996so you are blaming internal immigration for your problems? Do you want a visa program to transfer to a new state?
You THINK you are supposed to survive? My goodness. You are fodder and old to boot and useless as a laborer.
Not just Florida, it's everywhere.
true
Also other countries
Global. 😮
In the US it’s worst where housing costs are high.
Crushes local small businesses when people don’t have spending money left after paying for necessities
Not to mention kids...
It is not inflation when corporations earned more profits now than a year or two years ago.
The wages have not increased along with the cost of living😢 To much to bear😢
* too. Both times.
Lack of proper education is also a factor.
Stop buying stuff
You are absolutely everything but intelligent.
The government needs to stop spending! Thats the problem! Its been the problem since 2016.
Its been a problem since WW2.@cirella1064

The worst economic depression in human history has begun im afraid
And it will only worsen.

How many of these people are financing enormous car loans?
It's the elephant in the room. But no one wants to talk about it. I have brought it up a couple of dozen times, and you can hear crickets. I have very few people commenting on that issue. When I do get someone willing to poke their head out, they will say they drive an old car and are so glad to have no car payments and exceedingly low insurance rates. Others will tell me they need it for long distance commuting to work. But mostly crickets.
Well I’m paying $640 monthly for a 21 Honda odyseey, yes I know that’s steep but the interest rate was 10.8% even with my credit over 700.
The dealers couldn’t finance anything under $14.600 and I needed a sturdy, dependable van for my business pretty much asap, I already did the cash for used van thing but I felt regardless it was time for a upgrade
@@boni_traxton9436 If you are making excellent money and your rent/mortgage is really low, have no credit card debt and are frugal with your spending, your van payment plus the insurance to cover it shouldn't be too much of an issue. It is those who unfortunately are already in debt and who believe they deserve a nicer vehicle are the ones who keep themselves at the financial wire every month. I've been there, and it's not pretty. I want everyone to find ways to not spend crazy money when it's not needed so they can relax as prices for everything keep going up. Thank you for sharing!
That’s what I wanted to say. I’m sorry but we were warned inflation was going to happen. So many people gave their house payment, two new cars, the latest electronic gadgets and big credit card balances. Just because you could lake the payments it doesn’t mean you can afford it. Also so many of them have lo emergency savings.
@@yellowbird5411 I live with parents, I have 3 credit cards so yes there is some things I owe but I’m never late on any payments, and the 3 cards come really handy like 2 front tires which were $540
Live within your means people...look at that huge house..!!
Simultaneously the same people will have subscriptions to 4 streaming services and drive an SUV that gets 15mpg.

Florida is one of the lowest paying states in the country. The leaders in that state are missing the boat for the people of the state. It’s a great state for businesses though. They get to keep more of their profits.
Low pay is a trade off to be able to live in Paradise on earth..
@@tmm226 No state taxes. Inland Florida, away from the tourist areas are cheaper.
Lowest pay and high cost of basic living. Can barely make modest ends meet working for the State of FL. Rent & housing expenses, reliable transportation, car insurance, groceries, health care....As an older person, I am in the market for a 2nd job. FL is business friendly, but not necessarily wage supporting of the average person. We must do what we can to spiritually & financially survive. The gap between the "haves" and the "have nots" continues to widen; middle class is on par with the working class poor. 😢
I am speculating that because Florida is essentially a tourist destination and not a manufacturing hub, taxes are not as high as other places where manufacturing is key. Florida does have some businesses, but many are geared either directly or indirectly toward the tourist needs, such as hotel infrastructure, boats, seafood, landscaping, condos, chartering, restaurants, janitorial, retail, malls, theme parks, etc. Tourist areas it seems have priced out the very people who keep it going. As people from the northern states have come here to retire or vacation, many businesses have become greedy and have not responded to worker's needs. We are a "right to work" state, and one dare not even mention "union." It is possible that with all the influx of illegal migrants, low-paying jobs will get a boost, and since they often share homes/apts. with many others and split the rent/utilities many ways, they can settle here and live, when locals cannot.
Florida is where WELL OFF people GO, to RETIRE!
I can't afford such super high rent and food. I'm on social security retirement. $950 a month 😢
Mine is only $600...
😢 Im so sorry.
@@AnAmericanGirl4Sure Oh lord Im so very sorry. I hope God blesses you all with abundance and good health. 😢
@@cirella1064 Thank you for the kind words.
The wages in Florida, a "right to work " state that really means you have no rights is a disgrace in regard to how they treat workers. The wages are a disgrace, and benefits are a joke. I moved to Florida from Washington state and my wage went from $30 and hour to $15 to $20 with no paid holidays, no Christmas bonus and medical insurance that pays for a fraction of the bill. In other words you can't afford to go to the doctor. Meanwhile rents and food prices are high just like everywhere else.
😂😅75% of California can't afford expenses
Lol California so bad the billionaires are leaving.
I'll rather be homeless in California than a minimum job employee in FL.
@@misterbanshee7992 Billionaires are always attracted to places where they can best screw up the poor people.
My rent just went up to 1400 in Texas. This needs to stop
I've never even visited Florida but it looks so beautiful. I can't afford to vacation there so I can't imagine trying to live there. I had to leave California for the same thing. Best thing I ever did was move where I could afford and got a better eduction so I could earn more.
I moved from Florida.
Stupid expensive.
N Carolina is better, Cheaper, friendlier.
Less drug addicts.
Yup me and my family left and moved back to my hometown in the Midwest. Worked for the jags/NFL and still couldn’t afford Florida.

I can't afford to vacation in Florida, let alone be low income with children and live there. So many have children then wonder how to afford them. Family planning needs to be first.
I think this is happening everywhere in the world
It is.
That's sad! Lord have Mercy! Food is so expensive! It's a shame the way things are today! They have it so you can't even live!
"46% of families in Florida are not able to pay FOR IT ALL" ----- 🤨
It's a global problem
true overspending and living beyond ones means is not unique to one country. But sometimes leaders need to do better economically. Look at Argentinas recent turn around. First time in 30 years they have zero food inflation
Go into Miami and you will see the most Ferraris and yachts you will ever see
Life is more than making ends meet. In life sometimes you need help, nothing wrong with asking. Learn to be humble.
Comment of the day.
But sometimes there is no help. U ask and get told bs. So u stop caring
THANK DESATAN.
People need to stop having kids if you can’t afford it. It is plain and simple.
People need to stop spending money
Perhaps. But even people without children are having a very difficult time.
@@user-zl4rr1ic7whow? It sounds like people are not budgeting properly.
If it’s so tough out there, how come restaurants are full every evening? Many of these restaurants have long lines of people waiting to get in, believe it or not.
How come record numbers of people are paying for air travel and hotels, if they can’t afford rent or groceries? Airline profits are also through the roof.
Something doesn’t add up. And I don’t even know what to believe anymore.
You said it!
Credit cards that they will never back the debt on. There's your answer
Check out credit card debt. I've always said the amount of people one sees doing well equals the amount of people struggling.
yeah, but y'all voted for DeSantis!
Whatever happened too DEATHSANTIS
It’s not him it’s Biden
And you voted for Gillum/ Crist 🤣
It Biden and it's everywhere.
@@kalibmilner877Yeah, if the smelly orange one was in off8ce, gas would be a buck a gallon and groceries would be buy one get two free!!
Let's talk about how many of these families that are actually working don't even qualify for any type of help
we cant help the so very many poorly educated lazy people
if you are working you should not need help
@@Netcentric-fk6ek there is something called the working poor. With inflation plenty are working and need help. You're out of touch and need to make your own stand alone comment instead of talking to someone you do not know. And you definitely wouldn't say this to me if you ever met me.
It's not just Florida And seniors that can't work are up the creek
High rent level is the real problem, if people don't give most of the money in rent then there would be more money for groceries.
So many people living beyond their means with $700+ car notes trying to look good. When it gets repossessed, the situation gets worse! Debt, Death, Deaf and Dead are bad words!
Yes that's a problem. A REAL problem. In fact they laugh at me all the with my HHR.
Yes, it makes it bad for everyone.
I can honestly say it’s not just the fancy cars it’s all of them the raggedy ones too the payments are wayyyy too high…and to fix them when they brake down cost even more
@@muhammad-bin-americanWhat is HHR?

Complaining about making ends 🍖 while staying in a expensive state is foolish go where you can afford to live folks 🤦🏽🧠🤫💯

You are kidding haha!
I love that this story is about Florida but the comments want to make it about Biden. Are we unable to hold DeSatan accountable for his lack of leadership?
Republicans will always find a scapegoat.
Desantis does not run the country and is not responsible for the run a way inflation that the nation has faced for 3.5 years. It you want to blame anyone, this sh}t belongs at the feet of Joe 𝘿𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙖 Biden inflation for the past 3.5 years. Shalom
He is arguably one of the best and most successful governors in the COUNTRY, the hell are you talking about "lack of leadership?" 😂
@@ThaOlBoy Well, looking at the numbers, that is a *very* tough "argument" to sell, neighbor. I will take you up on it though, simply bc I like winning. 😁 Meanwhile, we *did* just get new, pointlessly politicized state signs at the borders! 💸 No insurance for our homes or businesses, though. 😭 Also? Sliding education levels! (He *did* say he'd protect kids & stop indoctrination, but when will he close the Catholic schools?) 🤦🏻 Yay! Effective leadership at work, I reckon!
@@WorldWarIVXXUnaffordable Housing, 25% increase in insurance, 100% drop of all Floridian flood insurance policies by insurance companies in FL, 30% increase in individual taxes to cover 1.6 million in security costs during presidential campaign, increased property taxes to spend on teachers salaries that make more currently than parents and on anti woke agendas.
This what happens when you print to infinity but wages stay the same.
And if those who are able to work cannot make it, imagine what it's like for someone like me on SS disability 😢.
More people need to start investing so that they can make extra money.
There are too many people...when is the Government going to see this..
Florida rent need to stay high to keep the rest of the USa moving here
Why would high rents keep people moving there.?
Florida has a lot of low paying jobs
Why would someone feel bad for needing help? Insanity!
Pride is one reason.
Get out of Florida if you can
Try living on SSI. We're becoming homeless
Which they've made illegal, pretty much, putting you in jail bc you cannot afford a place to live.
And yet there are many in Florida, California and elsewhere in America who will continue to vote for Biden/Harris. Yuk!
What trump gonna do give everyone a raise? How?
That's OK with his 8 million bankruptcys trump is a phenomal leader and ceo right 😂

I never got covid payments. Prices went up. Wages did not. Period.
This is the results of ceo corps aswell small business using the advantages of cheap labor in what was a prominent country & state . Now the wage suppression has went on for to long & physical working class can no long pay for their survival. End game

Getting off the junk food and snacks will save you bunches. I'm going on 5 years whole foods. I don't know how much I've saved but I know it's a lot. and I feel great. I weigh 110 lbs at 5"4. then again If my power goes out all my food will go bad, except the dry goods like beans and rice nuts and seeds.
I eat the same way and I agree. Less trash, too!
Whole organic chickens are still less than three bucks a pound. You can buy a big bag of rice for next to nothing. Peppers and onions are still reasonable. Throw in some spices and you have a feast for next to nothing, that will last for days. Most people would rather drive through some place and eat some processed junk. Too lazy to cook ,and wonder why they're bloated, sick,and broke.

And Trump lowering taxes for the rich and placing tariffs of imported goods will help them how? How much of their budgets go toward car and property insurance. Thank DeSantis for that.
