As stated, it all depends on where you came from!
Moved to So. Fl. 7 years ago from Long Island, NY. At that time, the taxes on my very typical middle class home was over $10,000 - 7 years ago. Add to that a sales tax of 8.5% and a NY State tax of approx. 7% and living down here becomes much more affordable.
Yes, the Homeowner's insurance is probably triple and the car insurance is more expensive but, all in all, cheaper down here.
Of course, the reality is our income is also lower now that we are retired !!!!
