Just curious did u guys ever leave ur comfort zone of fantasy land and visited Hialeah,Kendall,Homestead,ETC

[@timothyhobbs5256]

Congrats to you both on a successful move. My wife and I made a similar decision, we needed more space and california was just getting too expensive. So God opened the door for us to move to northern GA and we love it!

[@itsnicewithyou]

Thank you 🙏

I wish i could move the hell out of Florida 🙄 20 years and ready to get out! Hopefully, one day soon!

[@santimio4098]

It took me 20 years to move out of Miami but I have never looked back. I love the food there but once you move you finally feel like you are actually living in the USA. 😊. Definitely much better jobs, salaries, traffic, home pricing etc…

[@martinasilvetti6572]

Ive been living in different areas of Miami Beach for the past 10 years and I want to move ASAP!!!!! I can’t wait. I’m looking forward to going more north and out of this traffic and all the people. I can’t stand it anymore 😮‍💨 I’m working 30 blocks from my house and yesterday my husband went to pick me up and it took us 2 hours to get home. TWO HOURS. It’s a hard no for me

[@babaali4410]

Miami Beach is not where real Miami residence would live, It's full of hotels for tourists.

[@martinasilvetti6572]

@ oh I know that. I’ve been here for 10+ years 😂😂 thanks for the advice. I’m moving soon up north because I foresee that there will be a lot of new construction around my area (Normandy Isles) and it will get worse with more cars and people living here.

[@NightWolfe95]

Damn traffic like that in Miami?!

[@martinasilvetti6572]

@ it gets very crowded when there’s special events like Art Basel or Boat shows. It’s not always like that but yes traffic has gotten worse and worse with time.

[@Pat7629]

Congratulations and looking forward to following your journey! I am 48 and getting ready to leave my corporate job next year after 23 years working in finance. I am lucky to work remote now and will spend this winter in West Palm Beach, FL, which I am happy to hear you are thinking of. It's great there! I also own a home in Cape Cod, MA which is beautiful in the summer and fall. I personally love the snowbird lifestyle. If you are able to eventually live somewhere on the east coast like the Hamptons or Cape Cod you can experience the magical summers and falls here and Florida is great in the winter. Good weather allows you to be physically active outside all the time and the sun does wonders for mental health. When you are young, you do have to be geographically where the top industries are like Boston, NYC or DC, but hopefully you can become more entreprenurial eventually and be location independent. Best of luck and very happy for you both!!

[@itsnicewithyou]

Thanks! That does sound like a great lifestyle 🙏🏼 appreciate your support!

[@mattandsummer]

Best of luck with the move ❤ Will miss you in Miami! Amazing video x

[@itsnicewithyou]

Thank you !! Definitely missing it a little already 💗

[@e.s.5529]

Better weather, fewer bugs, less humidity, but not cheap. It is a good choice. It is really beautiful there. I worked for Bare for years.

[@floridaroadways]

What is bare?

[@Katrina-k3y]

I agree that the Plaza Apartments have an exceptional view. Paramount as well I saw on Sonja Arline page too. Best of luck to you both. Thanks for sharing.

[@AMH-so9mauVe14]

Lived in Miami Beach for over 24 years, before the boom of brickell and the other “trendy” and the rest of the wannabe places. Traffic sucks, there are a few decent restaurants, the kitchens alllll look the same in all the Apartments unless you go extremely high end or boutique. Brickell is mainly for instagram or for ppl just to say “ Yeah I live in brickell, “ kinda like tacky new money you know? So that’s awesome you guys got out ❤ best of luck up north !

[@midwestguy8771]

Best of luck on your new adventure. Can’t wait for those future vlogs

[@jorgejunco4907]

Left back in 2001, and I never regretted it. I had to go last year for a family wedding and I felt like I couldn't breathe. Overcrowded, horrible traffic and mean people.

[@JC.LC.]

Checkout north Florida. Saint Augustine is beautiful.

[@itsnicewithyou]

Never been, maybe one day!

[@xoxo20000]

Miami is too expensive, overrated and doesn't have the best job market. Thats mostly all Florida though. Im really gearing up to leave myself. Good luck on your new adventure!

[@itsnicewithyou]

Thanks, where are you going?

[@xoxo20000]

​@@itsnicewithyou I have no idea yet but I think eventually I will head to the North East. I will start a family soon so I also want my kids to have the best education and Florida colleges are ok but don't rank above any of the Northeast or California schools.

[@perfumelover777]

Hi from Orlando, FL I am new to your channel. I miss South Florida (Hollywood) the food, the people, beach, my friends. I’ve been in Orlando since 2009 and cannot wait to leave I HATE it. Also the pay here is ridiculous for healthcare workers. Fingers crossed 🤞🤞 I’ll be able to move next year.

[@redwolf8135]

I love visiting Brickell. My godparents live in Dumfries, VA. I love visiting the Northern VA/DC area too. Have y'all thought about San Diego or Phoenix?

[@itsnicewithyou]

San Diego and Phoenix are both great, maybe one day!

[@adamscott796]

Northern Virginia is NOT a cheap place to live. I live in McLean Virginia, and it is very expensive here, just as much as Miami.

[@itsnicewithyou]

It’s expensive too but in different ways!

[@rogersampaio7450]

So you guys moved from Miami to DC

[@itsnicewithyou]

Basically

[@myk55501]

Hey, old man advice basically simple you work for your retirement that's what a lot of young people don't understand you need to save as much money as you can and for your retirement pension that's why being up in the New England area retirement pensions with companies are a lot better than they are in Florida and good luck to you smart move getting out of Florida it's dying here and that's from Floridian

[@angelacosta466]

Welcome guys! I live in the DC area myself. Hopefully one day I bump into you guys, if I do I’ll say hi.

[@itsnicewithyou]

🙏

[@elvisjd710]

Congrats and best of luck to you both! I lived in Miami for one year and this was back in 2011 and honestly although I love it there, I can’t live there; the traffic itself is a big NO for me but as you mentioned the job market, I’m in a complete different field than you are, I’m in education, if I were to move there I would have to be willing to take a 35K+ pay cut which I am not willing to do so I’ll continue to live in expensive NJ and visit Miami whenever I can! 😊

[@LJ-jq8og]

NEW SUB: Will be interesting to see in a few months how you "reflect" back on Miami lifestyle, cost and living... Would make a great video down the road... I know Northern Virginia well... A bit "Lefty," or too "George Looney" for my tastes but that didn't prove to pose too much of a problem now did it 😊... Wish you guys the best !

[@alexguevaraaa]

That’s crazy you guys moved down the road from me 😮 NOVA is beautiful tho can’t complain

Florida never really had good job opportunities in the last 20 years I've been living here, Northeast is where the good salaries are.

[@itsnicewithyou]

Mostly true

[@Brando_Yancey]

I was just about to say that looks like where I live in the Loudoun Ashburn area. Funny you guys move here and Im trying to move where you left bit yeah I was seeing how expensive it was in Miami and Northern VA you can have a lot more space

[@yayaluv2be691]

So glad you did👏👏

[@jonathanmoore9661]

I lived in Orlando for 3 years then had to move to Miami for work and I kind of hate it here. The traffic is so bad that I never want to go anywhere, no one knows how to drive here, and whoever designed the road system had to have been on crack because none of it makes sense. I can’t wait to get out of here. I love FL but the traffic and over population has ruined so much of it.

[@WalkingVibes4K]

Great Vlog

[@itsnicewithyou]

Thank you!

All of the companies are around DC, because they need to be close to lobbying politicians. haha Followed you guys for the Miami content, but y'all seem like such genuine folk. Congrats so much on the move!

What are you paying for your 2 bedroom, if you don’t mind me asking?

I want to move too but my property went over 1m and I paid 100ks and is payoff since day one leaving here for me is cheap

[@Dimitrius1]

I love DC much better than Miami! Visited DC twice. Lived also in Virginia Beach for a few months and loved it too. I’ve been to Miami Edgewater/Brickell/Miami Springs and Miami Beach (South/North/Sunny Isles) for about a month now and thinking to leave already. It’s gotten worse than 5 yrs ago, since I visited same areas last time. I also stayed in Dallas on my way here and liked it actually better: Much nicer people, better food and service, better economy and cost of everything. DC & Dallas shits on Miami. It’s way overhyped. The city is beautiful and has good weather but very fake and rude people. Economy really has no substance besides the hospitality and New Yorkers driving up prices.

[@Pat7629]

The huge pro with Miami and South Florida in general is the amazing weather and lifestyle in the winter. I've lived on the east coast most of my life and the weather in DC, Boston and NYC from January through April is absolutely miserable as in you literally want to die. It gets dark at 4pm, it's zero degrees beyond freezing outside and rains/snows most days. No leaves on the trees. It's dark, dismal, freezing and miserable. You literally feel like you're living in a horror movie for 4 months.

[@Dimitrius1]

@Pat7629 I feel you. I lived in Russia for the first half of my life and it’s even worse: colder and from October till the end of April-May. But I visited DC once in November and the second time mid January. It was nicer than Russia lol. NYC on the other hand, that I visited right after that DC’s first trip in mid November , was really miserable though. Very cold bone chilling. I have to agree on Miami’s lifestyle in the winter it is nice.

Miami is for the rich, no doubt. Brickell is not where real Miami residence live, it's quite newly constructed and only people who don't really know Miami live there. Most people live in the center of Miami where its is full of greenery and two story houses not apartments.

[@lunallena5594]

Where is that? People with houses and greenery live outside of the center.

[@babaali4410]

@@lunallena5594 Do your research it's readily available on the internet, type houses in Miami. Miami was never a high rise apartment type of place, until recently in some areas, other areas high rise is prohibited.

[@fuglygooogly]

Isn't DC more expensive than Miami?

[@itsnicewithyou]

DC proper but not a majority of the surrounding suburbs. Median home prices can be high not everyday cost of living like groceries, going out to eat, etc.

[@jqmachannel]

Best of luck! do you mind saying how much the moving cost was?

[@itsnicewithyou]

We partnered with Roadway but depends a lot on how much stuff you have and how far the distance of the move is!
