I have to agree with this- yes, HOA fees can change, states with property taxes will go up, but rent is monthly and can REALLY go up. They called it a 55 and up retirement community, but in the video, it really just looks like a mobile home park- which are notoriously a bad value for what you are receiving.

Debt free doesn't matter when your lot rent triples after private equity buys the mobile home park. Throw in quadruple insurance rates and you just need throw in the towel.
After 19 years in florida, i had to leave the state in 2020 Florida depends too much on tourists Low paying jobs Insurance sky high And a lot ofother problems
Retired Army veteran I rent an apartment decent place in Fayetteville NC 1 bedroom for $1300 dollars per month was considering Tampa Fl to retire I changed my mind, its too darn expensive for me.
I wouldn't advise anyone to move to Florida. The low salaries make it necessary for individuals to juggle two jobs just to make ends meet. With steep auto and home insurance, along with high rental costs, the overall cost of living in Florida is quite burdensome.
I live in Minnesota, a beautiful, healthy, liberal state with a great economy. Minnesota has four seasons. You have to like or at least tolerate four seasons to live here, and sometimes the winters and summers are brutal. My one-bedroom, rent-controlled apartment has a panoramic view of the Mississippi River and of my father's historic landmark office building. The public library is next door; the police department is right across the street. The rent? $345 per month. The secret? Years and years--think nearly a decade--of being on an annoying tedious waiting list and having to renew my application every twenty four months. I have friends and former co-workers who fled to Florida upon retirement and who are shocked by the recent cost of living increases in everything there. It appears to have hit suddenly and seems to be associated with the American economic collapse of 2020. Some apartments in Florida now cost more than rowhouses in downtown San Francisco. And for what? Endless heat and humidity and a sedentary, aging population. Also, Florida is a cultural wasteland, a right-wing backwater with a reactionary state government. Fun for the whole family!
My sister and ger husband retired down their. They got baited in by warm weather and cheaper housing. So they sold their home in Harrisburg Pennsylvania for big bucks and bought a forclosure in Florida. They wanted to sell for big profits and buy for cheap. Well they got it all right. They have dealt with a hurricane almost every year. Had to put a new roof on their 15 year old house. And watch their house insurance go up 400 percent in less than 10 years. And their land taxes are over 6 grand per year plus HOA fees. They thought they were getting something for nothing. Lol
Rental apartment complexes after the pandemic rent increased from $900 to $1400. Why because they could.Pure greed. Mayor's and governor. Did nothing about it.
FL car insurance is out of control, our premiums for two older cars are $4336 for 2024, while our home insurance premiums for 2024 are $2680. That's a 56% increase above our current 2023 car premium.
I just paid off my full coverage car insurance for the year, it was $2808mx pesos, that's $156.00us. Today when I was walking home from the beach after a quick surf, I stopped for lunch and got a few freshly caught fish tacos con todo for $24mx or $1.33us each. I was passing by the mercado so I decided to grab something for dinner and was happy to see avocados were on sale for $26.80mx per kilo or about $0.24us each. BTW- My rent was due a couple days ago on the 15th and it was $12,000mx or $600us for a nicely furnished one bedroom and bath with all utilities, cable and internet with maid and laundry service included. I can see the beach from my palm thatched garden roof top as I siesta in my hammock while listening to the muffled sound of mariachi music in the distance.....I love my home in Mexico!
@@ThePoacher-j3b well I don't understand why. Your generation of people got the highest wages and the lowest cost of home ownership for decades. The best from social security and the pension funds. My generation won't see a dime from social security even though I've paid in for 30 years
So according to you, all baby boomers are rich and have no financial problems; get a clue. My generation has to take care of our parents in addition to helping out their children and grandchildren so we sacrificed our own financial well being and will die broke!
My family has been in Florida for hundreds of years, we're heading north of the Saint Marys river, this is getting ridiculous here, golden years my arse!!!

Buying a mobile home is one of the worst "investments" you can make. First, you don't own the land and have to pay rent to park your mobile home. Second, you have buy the home. Third, the home is practically stuck in one place. You are better off renting a house or an apartment. At least you are not responsible to maintain and repair it, and you can easily move to another place to live.
Mobile park home living used to be the last affordable option, but not any more. The vultures are circling and will soon start tearing flesh from the bone.
Yeah NY what a great place to live and very affordable! lol income tax alone makes Florida a better place to live! Do like me hang your hat in Florida while my northern businesses finance my lifestyle!
@@uriassmith4110 Counties all over FL are raising their taxes. Retirees are not going there as before. That pattern is only going to continue and grow.

A realtor said that they are now considering 'lot' rent the same as renting a whole apartment or house. RIDICULOUS!! That is why I crossed that off my list.

The rents in florida and I been looking all over 1600 2000 a month homes there are at 3 4 k now as well. You can buy manufactured homes there for ten k 20 and they are nice buy the insurance for them and lot rents there are high now too. Bad inflation and all these idiots keep moving into there also on fb market place I even been looking idk who buy corporations people been saying are buying house there and are renting them out for 3 to 4 thousand a month now.
It sounds like her park was either sold to a corporation and they are raising the lot rents, happened to me, or a corporation already owns it and is trying to price the residents out and develop the property. That happens quite a bit also.
As a retired disabled Army veteran I rent an apartment I have no interest in buying a house at my age 66 years old, single/divorced my 2 girls are professionals now have their own family, i am debt free, I eat at cheap places and still have money to save, when I get older and become terminally ill I will take the easy way out, no suffering.
Before I left South Florida a little over a year ago I was friendly with a neighbor lady in my apt complex. She told me she had moved in her apt back in 1983 and her rent back then was only $135 a month. That same apt now is $2,250, she moved out after living there for 40 years because she can't afford that kind of rent. Oh and for the record Florida does not have rent controle.
What bad reporting! the story talks about lot rent being more than doubled to over $2000 a month, then talks about how retirees should just save more. The problem is that corporations should not be allowed to double someone's rent overnight! Talk about that.
I lived here 35 years I don’t wanna live here any longer. I’m working on the idea of getting out of here that governor isn’t helping matters any either burning books worrying about everything except what’s important.
Move to the Midwest Ohio, Michigan cheaper cost of living and you can actually afford to buy a home up north.The south is just to expensive Florida, Carolina's, Tennessee, Georgia.
The housing is just one of the many reasons to avoid Florida. Our relatives that retired to Florida end up trapped in their house during the heat and humidity of the summer. Then there is the hurricanes. Also they find crime in Florida is a serious issue.
Remote workers and people retiring early are flocking to sunny destinations. Remote workers can work multiple jobs at the same time and work remotely somewhere else during bad weather.
The useless governor Ron DeathSantis has done nothing to help anyone but himself. Do-Nothing Rubio and Corrupt RIck Scott are two schmucks that haven't done anything at all..People seem to continue voting against their own best interests.
Property taxes are horrible in Florida, they need to stop increasing so much each year. Rental properties especially need a cap on property taxes. There should be no difference in taxes if you live in a home or rent it out.
It isn't legal to do this. Let the landlord try to evict you. It is unreasonable seizure of property. These seniors are not financially lax. They saved and are being put in predicaments of poverty that they didn't contribute to. Don't let these corporations just whisk you away with nowhere to go. At least stand up for yourself in court and make a fool of them.
You cant own a house in America, you can lose it all if you cant pay the outrageous taxes and homeowners insurance. Americans realistically should be looking outside the USA if they want to ever retire comfortably.
You can't come in late in the game to an area like most of Florida and expect it to be affordable. It's been popular as a place to move in general and for retirees for almost 40 years now. A place gets popular, people move there, and costs go up. That's how it worked in Austin, Norcal, Phoenix, and any other place that people have flocked too. In the 80s, the cost of living in Florida was crazy cheap in many areas- not so much these days.
Florida will be the place the prosperous and very prosperous enjoy on the East Coast. The poor will live ther with little or no insurance coverage. Soon that condition will be seen everywhere across the globe as climate change costs are factored into insurance premiums and many risks will no longer be insured at all
These cost of living videos make me feel like a rich man. My condo is paid for, and my monthly expenses for condo fees, property tax, heat, electric, gas are about $800 per month, and much lower in the summer.
No shade to the Heart of Dixie, but this is the first time I've ever heard of Alabama being a retirement destination unless you're from there or you have family there. Times have definitely changed.
My husband and I were in Miami last month for vacation. We stayed in the Keys for a few days and then went on a cruise. The food alone is so expensive! I told my husband, I don’t know how people can afford food here let alone live here, and then I just came across this video.
i live in upstate n.y, i live in a 55+ mobile park, i bought my trailer in 2012 it has a enclose front porch with lots of windows a back deck for sunning a storage shed, its a 2006 home and i paid $25,000 cash, my lot rent was $280.00 a month 12 years later my lot rent is only $345.00 a month so in 12 years my rent has only gone up $65.00, my landlord is the best, he only raises the rent when his taxes go up and if you need a repair he will gladly fix it at a very low cost so you don't have to hire a contractor, Im not moving anywhere, you can take Florida and shove it, with the heat humidity bugs, crime, hurricanes, sure its cold in the winter but not this winter it was in the 60's yesterday and no snow on the ground
It all have to do with greed too many greedy people in this world that’s what’s causing every economical problem in this country greed is behind everything believe it the people on top in charge of housing in charge of taxes in charge of everything are the greediest people that ever lived
20% savings rate is not realistic for individuals who need to find an affordable place to live. The individuals who can easily save 20% of their income are not worried about where they're going to retire. Those are people making over $100,000 a year. After taxes that's about $70,000 and 20% of that is $14,000 a year which is almost $1,200 a month. It used to be that 10% was a healthy savings rate. The systematic decimation of the traditional pension plan in the private sector is killing rhe middle-class. And at the same time, the rich have never been more wealthy. That's a death spiral for a society.
I retired totally debt-free, including my home. Use and follow the ramsey plan and the baby steps. It is completely do-able, but fools have to stop living off of credit cards and debt. No car payments. The show is on rumble every M - F at 2pm Eastern time.

People are stupidly stubborn to the end. See it a million times. She gotta have the 'sun life'... @ a 50% markup.
It is literally impossible to save money because health and homeowner's insurances are going up with their premiums. Auto and homeowner's taxations are also largely expensive. How can you save when insurances are bleeding you dry?

That is horrible. We Americans need rent control. The greed has gotten ridiculous.
You should move to NYC.
@@mjblue84. Not everyone is greedy. But if a property was purchased in the last ten years it probably cost a fortune. That means high rent.
@@mjblue84 plenty of reasonably priced states left.
Better than Southern California. Try that one before you move again.
What bad reporting! the story talks about lot rent being more than doubled to over $2000 a month, then talks about how retirees should just save more. The problem is that corporations should not be allowed to double someone's rent overnight! Talk about that.
Alabama maybe but Wyoming? You'd end up spending half the year indoors watching Me TV reruns
😂
The wind and freezing weather keeps people out of Wyoming. Blizzards there ain’t no joke!
😂
As long as CHiPS and M*A*S*H are one there I'd be ok for a while.
@@clineshaunt Married with Children.
That may be us pretty soon. Cost of living is skyrocketing
2000 for a trailer???
I lived here 35 years I don’t wanna live here any longer. I’m working on the idea of getting out of here that governor isn’t helping matters any either burning books worrying about everything except what’s important.
Move to the Midwest Ohio, Michigan cheaper cost of living and you can actually afford to buy a home up north.The south is just to expensive Florida, Carolina's, Tennessee, Georgia.
The housing is just one of the many reasons to avoid Florida. Our relatives that retired to Florida end up trapped in their house during the heat and humidity of the summer. Then there is the hurricanes. Also they find crime in Florida is a serious issue.
Remote workers and people retiring early are flocking to sunny destinations. Remote workers can work multiple jobs at the same time and work remotely somewhere else during bad weather.
Great story Very well reported. Thanks. Those qualities are rare in TV news these days.
Where is our local leadership? who do they represent?
The useless governor Ron DeathSantis has done nothing to help anyone but himself. Do-Nothing Rubio and Corrupt RIck Scott are two schmucks that haven't done anything at all..People seem to continue voting against their own best interests.
they represent themselves
@@Eyeris625yes like every politician across the country
Property taxes are horrible in Florida, they need to stop increasing so much each year. Rental properties especially need a cap on property taxes. There should be no difference in taxes if you live in a home or rent it out.
My property taxes on 3 bedroom, 2 bath, 2 car garage on 80' x 120' lot in Palm Coast Florida is $662 per year. I have homestead and senior discount.
@@garyr4211 My property taxes for a very modest two bedroom house on a shitty street in Lutz with no sewers and water lines is €4500 a year.
Homestead exemption , what part of that don't you get .
Was that a question?
Living in a home or using it to make money .
Snowbirds have more than one HOME. To live in Florida for the winter is a PRIVILEGE.
Maybe it used to be. But not any more.
In Lake county it’s normal
The northern money I see up there is Amazing
I was paying $2300.00 per month for a winter rental, now $4500.00+ is the going rate.
Fewer snow birds are heading south..
So true and none of them are leaving this stor6is pure BS.
@@vietnamvet4533 nah….MORE are coming 💀 this chick in the video just broke, I can smell her Newports from the video
Stay put, folks. There's nowhere to go.
Save 20% of my income??!! Not in this economy!
Yes and at the rate of inflation 20% estimate will soon be too low
It isn't legal to do this. Let the landlord try to evict you. It is unreasonable seizure of property. These seniors are not financially lax. They saved and are being put in predicaments of poverty that they didn't contribute to. Don't let these corporations just whisk you away with nowhere to go. At least stand up for yourself in court and make a fool of them.
After 7yrs.,I'm packing for 'greener pastures'too much $$$$$$for everything. 😎🌴🐊
South Carolina is super expensive now just like Florida with less inventory.
No surprise
You cant own a house in America, you can lose it all if you cant pay the outrageous taxes and homeowners insurance. Americans realistically should be looking outside the USA if they want to ever retire comfortably.
South America has sunshine, beaches, and is FAR cheaper.
Florida is highly over rated
Seriously overrated.
yes.. please stop coming here!
and very low wages in Florida
@@marvelharris9540 OK! Don't try to sell your home then.
@@h.sanchez5347 You can always hunt, or fish.
Florida HOAs: Paying for your communities insurance is a always ever-increasing cost.
It's happening to Texas also..everyone moving here and making people from here move
That's not true. People are leaving due to the sky high property taxes that Abbott and his cronies jacked up across the State.
Not true only in certain cities lone star state is more affordable than majority of the sunbelt
Down to Mexico !!!
You can't come in late in the game to an area like most of Florida and expect it to be affordable. It's been popular as a place to move in general and for retirees for almost 40 years now. A place gets popular, people move there, and costs go up. That's how it worked in Austin, Norcal, Phoenix, and any other place that people have flocked too. In the 80s, the cost of living in Florida was crazy cheap in many areas- not so much these days.
Florida has been a retirement destination for over 100 years .
Wow that’s what most retirees did their entire lives and still can’t afford the cost of living
If your trailer rent goes up to 2k from $800, you better move the hell out
and they are building like crazy, huge buildings and gated communities in Lee County in SW Fl.
Warm weather equals atrocious humidity, and low taxes only means that you get shafted differently if Floridistan!
You mean because you want the government to take care of you?
how is this legal !??
No rent control.
Florida will be the place the prosperous and very prosperous enjoy on the East Coast. The poor will live ther with little or no insurance coverage. Soon that condition will be seen everywhere across the globe as climate change costs are factored into insurance premiums and many risks will no longer be insured at all
These cost of living videos make me feel like a rich man. My condo is paid for, and my monthly expenses for condo fees, property tax, heat, electric, gas are about $800 per month, and much lower in the summer.
$800 in summer 😊
If you have an HOA thats where they're getting some poeple now. Also Insurance too.
Depends city’s or small towns couldn’t afford moving out to cheapest area.
Greed
No shade to the Heart of Dixie, but this is the first time I've ever heard of Alabama being a retirement destination unless you're from there or you have family there.
Times have definitely changed.
My daughter left Florida for Alabama. She has a two bedroom, one bath for 650 in a decent neighborhood . She doesn't want to come back😊
Thats because its connected to FL but not nearly as desirable which makes it a cheap state to live
We Need to make cap laws to stop all this !!! This is just affecting all of us.
My husband and I were in Miami last month for vacation. We stayed in the Keys for a few days and then went on a cruise. The food alone is so expensive! I told my husband, I don’t know how people can afford food here let alone live here, and then I just came across this video.
Fleeing Tampa that is my motto as well because this is not a place for retirees anymore. Thank you, DeSantoad
"Set aside money for emergencies." 😂 This is the US, getting by from day to day is an emergency 🤣
The State of Florida is going to become the 2nd California
It’s expensive to live in Florida!
That’s sad. Inflation is a killer.
it not all inflation when it comes to house, it is a factor, but it is more about supply and demand and the overpricing as a result.......
i live in upstate n.y, i live in a 55+ mobile park, i bought my trailer in 2012 it has a enclose front porch with lots of windows a back deck for sunning a storage shed, its a 2006 home and i paid $25,000 cash, my lot rent was $280.00 a month 12 years later my lot rent is only $345.00 a month so in 12 years my rent has only gone up $65.00, my landlord is the best, he only raises the rent when his taxes go up and if you need a repair he will gladly fix it at a very low cost so you don't have to hire a contractor, Im not moving anywhere, you can take Florida and shove it, with the heat humidity bugs, crime, hurricanes, sure its cold in the winter but not this winter it was in the 60's yesterday and no snow on the ground
It all have to do with greed too many greedy people in this world that’s what’s causing every economical problem in this country greed is behind everything believe it the people on top in charge of housing in charge of taxes in charge of everything are the greediest people that ever lived
never buy a house or condos in Florida unless u wanna give HOA your money every month
No government regulations, low taxes have their dark sides. Need balance.
Florida is a rich persons joke! I have worked here for 35 years. And will never be able to buy another home.
Home owners insurance/auto insurance is out of control too!!!
Florida's not worth living in if it's cheap. It's DEFINITELY not worth living in if it's expensive.
Soon as people move to those three states, that's going to go up also. They did not expect people to live as long as they have.
20% savings rate is not realistic for individuals who need to find an affordable place to live. The individuals who can easily save 20% of their income are not worried about where they're going to retire. Those are people making over $100,000 a year. After taxes that's about $70,000 and 20% of that is $14,000 a year which is almost $1,200 a month. It used to be that 10% was a healthy savings rate. The systematic decimation of the traditional pension plan in the private sector is killing rhe middle-class. And at the same time, the rich have never been more wealthy. That's a death spiral for a society.
I retired totally debt-free, including my home. Use and follow the ramsey plan and the baby steps. It is completely do-able, but fools have to stop living off of credit cards and debt. No car payments. The show is on rumble every M - F at 2pm Eastern time.
some ??? that happened mid pandemic. there almost all gone. at $2500.00 month lot rent, that land owner is geting out and and has a buyer in the winds. wake up.
Two choice. (1) economize or (2) move someplace cheaper
Cheapest states to live: 1. West Virginia
2. Alabama
3. Mississippi
4. Arkansas
5. Louisiana
6. Indiana
7. Delaware
8. Oklahoma
9. Kentucky
10. Ohio
She should move. But like most people, she won't. People are stupidly stubborn to the end. See it a million times. She gotta have the 'sun life'... @ a 50% markup.
True. Well done. That is correct. These "retire in Florida" people are delusional.
You can sell a house in Florida and move to western NY and have a very nice payday. Global warming will make us the place to be 😅
Sounds sketchy
To go from 850 to 2000 is BS
That's what they voted for.
I'd rather never be broke and homeless
Duh .
It is literally impossible to save money because health and homeowner's insurances are going up with their premiums. Auto and homeowner's taxations are also largely expensive. How can you save when insurances are bleeding you dry?
They have been lied!
Thanks, Rebecca!
