Trying to figure out the area you are at... We are all about walkability, quality of life and relatively close to daily needs. When we lived in Melbourne we walked alot to restaurants, coffee places, groceries, etc... 15 min drive to the Atlantic coast by Patrick Space Force Base, loved it... Coming to Sarasota, Manatee, Hillsborough, or Pinellas County this go.

[@JessicaKeith-uj1jq]

The cost of living seems to be increasing every year, making it harder to keep up.

[@AshleyKeith-vw7ws]

Indeed , it's becoming quite challenging to manage expenses.

[@trulivingtampa]

So true!

[@tejarojnikmaher6941]

Two adults and a dog(80lbs) around 1000$/month for groceries in St Louis Missouri. We prioritise grass fed meats and organic foods. Takeout depends but usually it’s 150-200$/mo on top of groceries.

[@trulivingtampa]

Great share! Thank you for watching.

[@cesmith777]

We spend approx $1000-$1200 per month for 3 people in Frankfurt Germany. We buy mostly organic/very healthy options with a few snack foods.

Chose to relocate to New Port Richey FL from Palm Harbor FL after my retirement in 2017, primarily due to the sales tax half a point lower. State base sales tax is 6% while it's only 7% here. Real estate is more affordable so I paid cash for my 1800 Sq ft home with $850 HOA a month. Like you, I'm ten minutes to the beach. High and dry 😁 I wanted to sell my place for something smaller then the inflation set in. Now I'm stuck. Love Florida, been here since 93. Love your channel and welcome to Paradise.

[@trulivingtampa]

Thanks for sharing and the compliment. Be blessed!

[@DanielAmstutz]

WOW, nice to see other Michiganders moving here. We moved here from MI (Frankenmuth) in 1996 in our mid 30's. We are in Central Florida (Lake/Sumter Co.) We are now retired and live in "The Villages" area. Going back to Michigan for Summer to be with family. Love Florida living!!! FYI, it was much cheaper moving here 20+ years ago. We have owned 2 homes and doubled our investment on both. Now live in a retirement community.

My cost of living in Las Vegas is higher than yours 🤷‍♀️

[@timothyhobbs5256]

Juan, I don't know if you know this but this is benefit that might be helpful to your VA loan purchasers. It is called the VA IRRL benefit, and it just depends on their lender. Is a special type of refinancing that is different from the traditional refinancing. Long story short, we bought last year at a 7.587 rate, through this benefit we are able to drop our rate down to 6.25 and drop our mortage payment by almost 400 dollars!

5 people me and the wife 3 kids 7, 4, and 1 and we spend around $1200 a month in Oklahoma… we can’t wait to move to Florida! Hopefully in the next 6-9 months that way we can get our credit up and save for the 3.5 down payment for a 15 year FHA loan

[@trulivingtampa]

Thanks for sharing!

[@Bicyclechris]

We live in Riverview, have 2 in our household with a cat. We spend about $400 per month in groceries, and avoid all processed food. We cook at home 90% of the time. Our staples are black beans and eggs which are nutrient rich and cheap. We also have food delivered from Weee because we don’t have a good Asian grocery store store where we are. Are house, and cars are paid off, and we avoid lifestyle creep as well. There aren’t too many great restaurants around, so it’s easy for us to eat at home. For good food, we go to Tampa, all of the good Chinese restaurants are on Fowler Ave in Tampa, JFYI. :) We also have solar, so our electric bill is about $18 per month in an 1,800 sq ft home.

[@trulivingtampa]

Wow! Great job on the solar. Thank you for sharing.

[@JesusisLordandSavior3511]

Eggs are not inexpensive these days... vote Trump!!

[@Bicyclechris]

@@JesusisLordandSavior3511 They make my meals less cost around 66 cents per meal when I eat two boiled eggs. So yeah, that’s cheap. Paired with about 1/4 of a can of black beans, that’s 31 cents, and let’s round things out with a couple of mandarin oranges for $1.00, and maybe a few sticks of celery, a handful of spinach, and maybe a few carrots and I have a well rounded meal that keeps me full for less than $5. That’s cheap, even with the Brandon administration running the show. :)

Great video! When we move to Florida, we will sell our house in Kommiefornia and have about $400K to put down. Our criteria is for finding a house is a 5-10 minute drive from the beach and a marina for the boat, definitely a pool and would love some sort of view. Personally, I'd love a house on a canal to have the boat there instead of paying for a marina. We're open for the stretch from Clearwater down to Sarasota/Bradenton. When we move, we will also be moving with nothing but certain clothes and our doggos - and one crazy cat. Our current monthly food budget for a family of 4 (2 adults & 2 high schoolers - only on the weekends though) is roughly $1200. We are primarily focused on a carnivore diet. This does NOT include date night meals or family pizza night. Our current water bill is roughly $42 a month - we took out our lawns and put in rock. Our current electrical bill averages $200 a month. Our current gas bill averages $100 a month. Our garbage/sewer is a set $206 every other month. Our cheapest gas is around $5.29 a gallon. Our state tax rate is a little over 13%. Our auto insurance for the G Wagon and convertible Audi is $225 a month. Our health insurance through my wife's work (I am self-employed - Broker) is $1000 a month. Our current mortgage is just under $2K a month at 2.5%. Our cell phone is $160 a month. Our property tax is $6K a year. What else am I missing?

I pay $5000.00 a year for homeowners insurance with a mitigation report, live in Pembroke Pines, in South Florida 10.5 miles from the beach. I wish I paid $2500.00 a year.

I haves lived in Florida for 36 years. The State was so great and inexpensive until Covid. The homeowners insurance was always about 1K per year and auto insurance was crazy cheap.

As a Florida native I planned on staying right here in my hometown...unfortunately it's sad that it is turning into a 'Rich people state'...hopefully they have a good sized yacht when the state goes under water due to the constant construction of homes but lack of infrastructure.

I was last there though about 10 years ago and the prices were nothing like this! To give some comparison - we live in the UK in London. 4 bed home - £2.2k monthly mortgage 3 people/2 animals - £800 shopping * No yearly property tax - we don’t have that * mobile phone - £30 * internet and tv - £100 * car payments SUv - £300 * water - £50 * gas and electric - £200 * council tax - £200 It’s about £4.5k to just live - about the same as your mortgage though- Yikes!

If you didn’t own prior to covid, you’ll need to be very wealthy to move to Florida if you plan to buy. One more storm and insurance will price most out permanently if it hasn’t already.

Price is determined by supply and demand. There is more housing demand than supply in the Tampa Bay area. Prices are not going down. Also interest rates in the last decade or so have been abnormally low. There is no guarantee rates will drop significantly anytime soon.

Tampa is not getting hit as hard as other parts of Florida yet. As for supply and demand in June of 2022 Tampa had 1,966 houses on the market fast forward to today it's now at 3,976. It's obvious that there is a crash coming. The pandemic hit and everyone flocked to Florida. Prices for homes grew by 30-50%, and you're suggesting that prices will continue to go up?

I dig the hollow body Tele with humbucker pickup in neck position....Sweet guitar!! What amp are you player her out of?

[@trulivingtampa]

Which one 🤣

@@trulivingtampaMy guess is your favorite amp is your Fender Deluxe Reverb with a few pedals when needed. I can't see you playing through a full Marshall Stack. I was a Mesa Boogie player for 40 years and now have a 30 watt Budda Superdrive tube amp which sounds killer. I also use various guitar software plugins in Ableton that sound amazing just like the modeling amps that many pros use live on stage. So what is your got to amp?

@@swagic8452 Nice! I’m playing the Walrus ACS1 on Sunday’s with a overwhelming pedalboard. When I plug in to make noise it’s my PRS Sonzera 50 and for practice, I’ll plug straight into the deluxe. 😎🤘🏼

If I ever decide to move to FL you will be my realtor. I live in Austin TX and looking to buy a house for cash and as you know, Austin market is crashing. Just wondering how much lower it can go. I also love Tampa and I believe prices are also coming back down reasonable prices. I am cash buyer willing to spend $400,000. Sitting on sidelines now just watching both stock & housing market.
