Florida is relatively cheap compared to other states this big: California and NY for example.
If you can’t afford it, move! I tell my kids the same thing.
Most people here don’t realize what people are spending in other states. 8 years ago, I met a lady that lived in Connecticut and had a decent nice house (my house in the south at that time was 2x bigger, had more land, custom, and I was paying $4,000), and they were paying $30,000 in property taxes.
How is your social security taxed here? There is no income tax here.
