Don't Retire To Florida

[@gordonallen9095]

FL is no longer a state for people who live on a moderate, fixed income. Unless you are upper class, or just plain wealthy, the average person, and the majority of retirees are beginning to find the state unaffordable.

[@buffycat4641]

Lived in Florida full-time from 1969 to 2020, yes it used to be a wonderful state, not overly political. Not crowded, beautiful weather, low cost of living. Yes, the jobs did not pay well even back then, but expenses matched income. Jump to 2020. No, the weather is not nice 9 months out of the year anymore, (First house we bought in the West Palm Beach area didn't even have AC, but we didn't miss it). Now because of the building over of every single green space the temperatures are unbearable, as is the traffic. And, I went through way too many hurricanes to mention. I gave up a beautiful townhouse in a gated community and moved to the mountains of North GA. I do not have to worry about a job as I'm not retired and a pension that has a 3% increase annually. All expenses are drastically lower, traffic is drastically lower. Yes, we have a few hot afternoons in the summer but in the mountains, it is cool in the morning and again as the sun goes down. No HOA, just a beautiful view of the lake and the mountains. Have not missed Florida since the day I left in 2020. PS I love the change of seasons and the colder weather.

[@EmptyPocketsCarl]

Completely agree!! With elder parents living in FL, there’s the additional issue of getting them out when there is a hurricane approaching. Super stressful, heavy crowds on the highway, gotta make a split decision to drive a full day down there and another full day back to bring them to our house to ride it out. And then waiting for the power to come back on before returning, even if no damage. Had to do that twice this year!! It’s not the retirement nirvana it used to be - quite the opposite now.

[@caljn1]

FL is oppressive for 8 months of the year. And that's generous. Air conditioned space to air conditioned space is no way to live.

[@movdqa]

Two other problems in Florida: auto insurance rates and condo towers with really expensive structural issues.

[@joeythedime1838]

I have been a snowbird going between NJ and FL. Purchased the home in FL in 2011 on the gulf coast. My FL homeowners & flood insurance plus the increase in property taxes has made FL more expensive (same value home) then in NJ. Today my property taxes and insurance runs $2k a month - in 2011 the cost was $600 a month.

Very surprising considering super high NJ property taxes. I just sold my NJ house which had "cheap" property taxes (for my affluent area) of $22,000 annually! However you couldn't pay me enough to live in FL for many reasons.

[@TRUTHbomb2.0]

It's such a wonderful day when you finally own your home, but you soon realize that repairs and maintenance actually mean the home owns you.

[@SDJMEfan12]

True of course to a certain extent. But you don’t get away from it if you rent. Landlords always pass on costs to the tenant. I know some who have sold and gone to a senior facility where they had to absorb 10 and 12% rent increases. Always better off with your own place. They left after their lease ran out and rebought another home. Truth is you never get away from inflation. Plan accordingly.

[@Growing-Our-Retirement]

If you have owned a home for any longer length of time you have likely done very well. You probably should have bought a rental property too.

[@Growing-Our-Retirement]

The HOA’s are evil and run by people who probably couldn’t run a lemonade stand. Avoid at all costs!

[@trublupennstatefan1438]

Hi Azul. Please add Texas to that list. Not just Florida. We are not sure we will retire here now because our home owners is so expensive, property taxes are 2.9%, and the overall cost of living is getting worse. Even with no state income tax, it can be more expensive in Texas than a state that has income tax. One must do a total cost of living calculation to really know the true long term cost. Sad state of affairs.

[@douglasx6915]

First, I would NEVER own a house in Florida. Those days are over. There are literally 1000’s of older building in South Florida that need to be retrofitted. The insurance companies will not touch them and the HOAs are completely underfunded. Many of them will default. Renting is fine and there are plenty of properties. Second, the weather is NOT nice 9 months out of the year. That’s nonsense. It’s nice about 4 months out the year. The rest of the time it’s humidity and mosquitos.

[@HB-yq8gy]

Yes when I visit my daughter in Yulee it's mostly always hot so we visit in the Fall.

I live in Florida and being somewhat close to retirement thought about moving to Asheville NC, but guess what, that would have been a terrible decision given the current circumstances. You can’t avoid nature only hope you’re not completely devastated should something occur. Who knows, there could be some geological cataclysmic event which shifts the state of Florida to a more secure position and Northern states under Sea level, then what?

[@mnmaddict37532]

I travel to Florida quite often for business and the humidity in the summer alone will keep me from moving there.

[@alinskyrocks784]

I don’t see things that way. My wife and I moved to the Tampa area from Minnesota in 2016. Between then and when we retired the first of 2024 we saved a huge amount of money not paying MN’s 8% income tax. We love living here in a wonderful family neighborhood. Yes we had two hurricanes this year, but other than Irma in 2017, there hasn’t been any other risk to the west coast.

[@Alan-rt3se]

You're forgetting Hurricane Ian in 2022.

[@movdqa]

I'm in New Hampshire. Safest state in the country, no income taxes, no sales taxes. It does get really cold here but it does in Minnesota as well. I love having four seasons and the really low taxes don't hurt either. One of the other big factors is world-class healthcare an hour away in Boston; certainly a consideration as a senior. My mother lived in a place with a life expectancy of 92 years and she handily beat that.

[@gregormaitland5065]

I’m in NH as well. Having no sales tax or income tax is great until the property tax bill comes. We’re up to almost 30k/year. We just don’t want to deal with the NH winters anymore when we retire (in about 5 years). We have a place in Florida that we’ll be going to. We currently rent it full time so it doesn’t cost us anything to have it.

[@DWilliam1]

You also bought before the pandemic when prices tripled and should be grandfathered in for the homestead real estate tax, which means your real estate taxes are capped. I bought my retirement home in South Carolina in 2010 when I was in my 40’s and since 2020 it has now almost tripled in value. I’m retiring in 3 months and was planning to buy a place in Naples, but the places I was looking at before the pandemic now have tripled in cost, which means my real estate taxes would be triple also. Throw in the issues with getting insurance and having to deal with your roof being inspected or replaced every 7 years and it’s almost expensive as living in the suburbs of NYC. Florida, like South Carolina was a great buy until 2020, now not so much.

[@robertbedard5406]

Like so many from the "North", I had always planned on eventually buying a place in FL for my retirement winters (not to stay all year, but a few month every winter as a way get away from "our" winters up North. Over the last few years however, after discussions with friends (of which some already have real estate in FL) and given the seemingly increased risk of those bigger hurricanes, I've since revisited this plan and simply want to rent for a few months at a time during winter. Still costly relatively speaking, but it remains a cheaper options than all the annual condo fees, improvement costs, regional tax costs and never ending increasing costs of insurances, etc (noting that all of these are indexed, sometimes way more than inflation). But, as important, we're not responsible for the cost of disasters or loss of value of the real estate itself AND we're keeping our flexibility to go elsewhere for parts of winter on any given year. There's value in this. The moneys I had saved up for this remains invested and brings a decent annual return which covers more than the few months of rental costs, (... and it's "indexed" because I'm only using a portion of the returns to pay for rental costs). My specific example; the place I rent for 2 months charges me $12,000 USD (yes, expensive, thus the "relatively costly" above mentioned, but pretty nice and well located). This condo's value, if purchased now, would go for $750,000 USD. At an avg 6% return, that money invested gives me, on avg, about $45,000 of which I use about $15,000 gross (to get the $12,000 needed to pay for rental) and the rest ($30,000) remains reinvested and is added to the base capital, bringing the total invested amount to $780,000 for the next year. That investment (assuming the same avg 6% return) will give me almost $46,800 in growth that year. At the same time, the condo owner may increase his rent by 5% for inflation to $12,600 (for 2 months), so a $600 more. But I've made $1,800 in incremental returns (or about $1,200 net). More than the actual rental increase. What I'm also being told is that this condo owner now has general costs of about $20,000 per year for all the condo fees, insurance and taxes (and that's without improvement costs he has to inject every so often (for roof repairs, widows, central A/C, elevators, etc..). As long as my cost of rent doesn't exceed the annual costs of owning (which all increase year over year), I'll rent, keep my freedom of choice of location, and have peace of mind. Add to this the specter of water level increasing (if it's a thing)... No thanks. Rental is fine.

@@Alan-rt3semight want to check CA. You can’t even get insurance there. Most other places insurance is increasing. My point these things are not unique to Florida. If people want lower everything then move to Wyoming or somewhere else in the mid west.

[@Enthusiasmisgood]

@@Dottydawes Not unique to Florida, but higher premiums/inability to get insurance is all about risk. Insurers constantly gather and analyse data to decide what properties they will insure and on what terms. They’ve been withdrawing from (and repricing) high climate risk areas for years, including CA. That’s why Citizens insurance was introduced in Florida. V high risk. Guess those crazy old insurance companies are in the ‘cult’ too.

About the same for car insurance. In Florida that is also outrageous.I just spent about 30K in home repairs over the last two years. The homes in Orlando are about half a million just for a working class house. The area is full of homeless people because an apartment cost about 2K while the average salary is about 36K per year, My children and grand children are close by. If not for that I sell and relocate to another state. I make in retirement a low 6 figure income before investment income. Unless you are packing a lot of money and or have family in the area not so desirable to retire to any more.

@@DottydawesI would guess the writer means the reality of climate change. Turns out that saying it isn’t happening doesn’t make it go away. That seems to be impacting property prices there. Isn’t that what this clip is about.

Precisely. As a Floridian it's getting harder to insurance your home. ​@Enthusiasmisgood

The click bait title of your video is such crap. MOVE OUT NOW! RUN! GET OUT WHILE YOU CAN! You can put that title on any state you talk about. Pros and cons everywhere.

I am at the beginning of my "investment journey", planning to put 385K into dividend stocks so that I will be making up to 30% annually in dividend returns. any good recommendation on great performing stocks or Crypto will be appreciated..

As a newbie investor, it’s essential for you to have a mentor to keep you accountable. Ruth Ann Tsakonas is my trade analyst, she has guided me to identify key market trends, pinpointed strategic entry points, and provided risk assessments, ensuring my trades decisions align with market dynamics for optimal returns.

I don't really blame people who panic. Lack of information can be a big hurdle. I've been making more than $200k passively by just investing through an advisor, and I don't have to do much work. Inflation or no inflation, my finances remain secure. So I really don't blame people who panic.

how would you recommend i enter the crypto market? I am also looking at studying some traders and copying their strategy rather than investing myself and losing money emotionally. What's your take on this approach? and How can i reach her, if you don't mind me asking??
