I have a much better life here than in MI. Couldn't get this for any price. And, I think it is very reasonable if you don't have a mortgage. Depends on what are your priorities in life and what you want to spend your money on. Sunshine is priceless!

We came from Miami, Fl and the cost of living is cheaper here. Especially car insurance, home insurance, and taxes.

If you can buy a home outright and have no mortgage, you easily live here on half that.

Our costs are about 60% of what we experience when living in a Western Maryland town which was the 3rd lowest family per capita income in Maryland.

I agree it is cheaper here than where we lived in the Midwest. Real estate taxes alone are $4500 less per yr for slightly smaller home in TV (2200 sf vs 1900 sf). Dining out and cocktails are much cheaper here too. Dinner and drinks for 2 in our previous city cost us $60 to $150 or more, depending on how casual or fancy the restaurant. Here it is less than half that. Living here has allowed us to retire earlier than we would have been able to up north and we are able to travel more.

Utilities are way lower here than in the Philadelphia; and Pennsylvania taxes.....was paying State Income Tax, Philadelphia Wage Tax (all who live or work in Phila. County must pay the tax), and local Earned Income Tax to the local township. Sales tax is lower (6%) and does not include clothing, shoes, and other things that are taxed here in Florida. Groceries and gas are no less expensive here. And homes are way less expensive here. There is almost nothing at all available for under $ 150,000 anywhere.
