Yep we spend around $1,500 a month on grocery in Texas as well! We buy quality food as well so that’s not bad

[@trulivingtampa]

My people!

[@JCchadcel]

Imagine being the clowns who spend 1500$ on groceries

[@trulivingtampa]

Or imagine being someone who trolls other people online and thinks their words matter. @@JCchadcel

We live in Unincorporated Pinellas, too, and our garbage is included in our taxes. You don't want to know what our taxes are, it nets out to about $1,200/year and our place is smaller than yours, but we bought a foreclosure that needed a lot of sweat equity that has tripled in value since 2016. The Unqualified sale plus SOH is Saving Our Asses LOL...!

[@trulivingtampa]

Nice! Our taxes are not cheap, but not having to pay state income tax makes it a wash. 😎

I love to move to Clearwater Beach Florida when I leave college to work at Clearwater Marine Aquarium in the future. I watched your videos on KZbin every day and I ❤❤❤❤ them so much!

[@trulivingtampa]

Thank you! The Aquarium is awesome!

Hi Juan, thanks again for more great info! Aldi for my groceries. haha Just paid my property tax for the year, $2900, 37 year old house. Sheffield, Ohio. I just looked up the cost of living on bestplaces, and it lists it as 81, 19% lower than the national average. No wonder I had some sticker shock when I looked up Florida costs. I'm near Cleveland and I'm surprised The Cleveland Clinic hasn't built a facility in the Tampa area. I think they are somewhere else in Florida.

[@trulivingtampa]

Might be coming soon? Thanks for sharing, Keith.

[@KeithHuntsman-TaFl]

@@trulivingtampa Hi, I wish I could say yes but unfortunately it's still a long way off. It's been transitioned to just a dream right now. Thanks for checking back with me.

Hello from metro Detroit! Would love to move to Florida but really can't afford, we'll just visit.😊

[@trulivingtampa]

Thanks for watching, Rachel! And hello Detroit!

[@RNmike96]

Currently living in chesapeake VA. Looking into palm harbor.

[@trulivingtampa]

Palm Harbor is a great area! Thanks for watching and feel free to reach out if you have questions. [phone]

[@thegoodkiind]

Hello! Being from Detroit area, would you say Birmingham, MI is more or less expensive than HydePark in Tampa? Would you say the downtowns are similar? thanks!

[@trulivingtampa]

Yep, Hyde Park and Birmingham are very similar lifestyles. Well, except for the abundant sunshine and weather.

[@thought411]

Great videos! Who's you home insurance agent / company? I'm looking at $4,000/year and I'm also not in a flood zone.

[@trulivingtampa]

We have citizens for the policy. I always refer clients to a few different brokers though. As you know, prices vary wildly. Feel free to reach out. I’m happy to email you their contact information. [e-mail]

[@jasonhobert498]

1280sqft house here in st Pete. I can’t find an insurance quote under $2650/yr. Who are you using? Also, $415k will only get you about 1000-1200sqft here in st Pete. I’m not in a flood or evacuation zone.

[@trulivingtampa]

Is your home stick-built or block? That’s pretty close to shatbinsee for stick-built.

[@Bradimoose]

What gets you is the cost of going out to eat. 87% of the things to do are eating and drinking in Tampa Bay area so it adds up. $9 beers $15 cocktails, even waffles are a lot. Waffles (not chicken and waffles, just waffles) are $19 at the Urban Stillhouse.

[@trulivingtampa]

Urban Stillhouse is definitely not cheap. Great experience and worth it in my opinion. Thanks for sharing!

[@scrapiron6870]

What about mobile homes, everyone isn’t making 150,000 plus a year, your honesty is great educate us that don’t know.

[@trulivingtampa]

I can't speak to manufactured homes, I don't have any experience with them.

[@DanBelsky_Health_Money_Love]

@@trulivingtampa you’re so welcome Juan 🏠. Have a nice day. We’ll be in touch.

[@scrapiron6870]

sir, paychecks matter, co pays, deductions, deductibles, gee whiz how much is your monthly expenses 10,000 a month, we the public have to understand where your coming from so we can relate to your information

[@scrapiron6870]

What does the average Floridians do for income, jobs per say, that would explain, everyone’s not a doctor, business owner, perspective is important to understand before deciding on moving

[@trulivingtampa]

Tech, Financial, Education, Government, and Defense are some of the top employers in Tampa Bay.

[@karaburch7611]

Don't move to Florida. Insurance is outrageous,It's Expensive, red tide, hurricanes, Very humid, over populated, houses are very expensive. You're comparing the cost of living to Massachusetts and California.😂😂 If you were a good realtor, you would be telling people not to move here because of the cost of homes. They are outrageous.

[@trulivingtampa]

Thanks for sharing. The median sales price in Tampa Bay is only a few thousand dollars more the the rest of the county. Everything, everywhere has become expensive. From a costal perspective we are undervalued on the real estate side.

[@jadephillips8953]

lol! A realtor taking the time to make a quality video WANTS you to move there. Ridiculous comment.

[@elcee3292]

I live in Tampa. It's ridiculous here. I am finishing school and literally running out of Florida
