We are moving to Ocala, Florida. I rented a nice condo and my husband has an hour and a half drive to look around. When we all get settled and adjusted we will most likely buy a house again. We have family there who I can not wait to be near again. From what I am hearing I am going to love it there.
In In Florida, you make less than half the NY money and a much better lifestyle. Much lower housing costs, far lower property taxes, lower food costs, etc.
