Is FL an affordable place to live?

Question

I consider CA to be a bit unaffordable, I currently live in southern US, and would like to move to a more tropical location. What areas would be the best?

Answer 1

i have family and friends in FL and they say it is very expensive..and they have "good paying" jobs..most say they think FL is more expenseive since it is a big tourist spot..my niece and her family live there and they are thinking about moving to where i live, NC

Answer 2

FL is a great place to live, verry affordable clothing is very cheap, no tax on cigarettes or booze which is totaly awesome and food is quite cheap too

dont believe those people FL is not a very expensive place to live, its not super inexpensive but its not outragious

Answer 3

Anyplace tropical in the U.S. is going to be pricey.  Have you looked into Mexico?  Cost of living there is a fraction of the U.S., although I don't know about the employment opportunities there.
