I realize alot of you sold property and moved down here with no mortgages on your backs but, we couldn't do that. We have a mortgage here but, I am talking about the over the top fees for everything. The monthly fee for golf is $150, trail fees, mandatory garbage fees at $55 a month (whether you have garbage picked up or not! If you own property, you pay it!), the internet for $96 a year, Progress Energy, which is the most $$ utility company I have ever had to deal with...on and on. I am young enough that I am able to work (I am 51) and I have to hold down 3 jobs to keep food on the table here.
Before people buy here, they need to research the fees. If I would have known that this place was so costly, I never would have moved here!  |
Have not had the same experience - we find SECO reasonable for electric - not paying that much for golf on executive/is that for championship? How much would it cost in IL. I work full time and we find our life here much more economical than NJ. We paid very high taxes there which included garbage pickup. Sorry to hear you are so unhappy - our internet is not that much either. We shop around for the bargain deals and have found them easily. Hope you can find relief ....
