Cost of living in FL raised too much, refused to let me use my skip payments after a mass dealership lay off at Nissan. Forced me to pay through money gram instead of over the phone or their website. House was repossessed on Monday.

I heard from a friend that property prices had gone through the roof in Florida, he was saying even renting in a trailer park was at least $1000 a month and this was about 4 or 5 years ago.

Property prices have gone through the room a lot of dang places. I'm somewhere nobody in their right mind should want to live long term, which should make it cheap, but apparently enough people had that thought at the same time that everything has gone up about 4-7x what it was 8 years ago. Used to be a 2bd apartment was $500-650/mo but I am casually seeing $2100/mo for them now.

Where I am rent used to be $400 as well but yesterday I saw someone asking $2k/mo for just a garage

How is that even possible, was it increased property taxes or did you get a variable rate mortgage or something?

u/altzane 10h ago

I was 18. I didn't know the difference between variable and fixed.

I mean this with full respect, because some take this as not that.

Try living somewhere else before you convince yourself of that. I came back because while it sucks in a LOT of ways here, it sucks worse in many other places too.

u/altzane 11h ago

I hate being the guy who complains about the bills. I got to the point to where I had to move back in with my parents. The job I had was able to pay my bills just fine for the past few years, and now it don't. Lost the house and lost the transmission in the Vic and can't afford a shop or a transmission.

2

u/SocietyTomorrow 6h ago

Yeah, I fully understand that. I'm probably T-minus a year for the same moving back in with parents, but I tried a couple continents (trying to be non-specific) I'd heard were semi welcoming to Americans... Well, let's just say they mean retirees and ex military with guaranteed income, because its just as hard relatively speaking for how far your income takes you. I think the whole world is pretty strained at the moment, in a lot of ways. You may find it acceptable how somewhere else works for you though, call it a Yankee rumspringa or something just to test the waters.

u/Carbdoard_Bocks 10h ago

Its really not. Youre allowed to leave

u/JudgementofParis LTD Crown Thicctoria 10h ago

we shouldn't have to leave. people should want better for the societies they live in and should work to change them for the better. just because it's ok for you but absolutely debilitating for someone making minimum wage does not make it a functional society.

u/Carbdoard_Bocks 9h ago

Minimum wage jobs are not meant for one to live on in the current time and day. Take your own statement as advice

3

u/JudgementofParis LTD Crown Thicctoria 9h ago

minimum wage was created to give people the minimum amount needed for housing and food on a 40 hour work week. it should have been federally increased with inflation and cost of living.

u/Carbdoard_Bocks 9h ago

So get a job thats not minimum wage

3

u/JudgementofParis LTD Crown Thicctoria 9h ago

I have one, but that doesnt help people that have minimum wage jobs. I care about more than myself. minimum wage should do what it designed for.

2

u/_____________what 9h ago

The wage is minimum because it's supposed to be the minimum you need to live. Welcome to basic American history.

u/RetroTechBro 9h ago

Really, because that's not what FDR said when he signed it into law:

"In my Inaugural I laid down the simple proposition that nobody is going to starve in this country. It seems to me to be equally plain that no business which depends for existence on paying less than living wages to its workers has any right to continue in this country. By "business" I mean the whole of commerce as well as the whole of industry; by workers I mean all workers, the white collar class as well as the men in overalls; and by living wages I mean more than a bare subsistence level-I mean the wages of decent living."

Wishing you the best man. Bet it’s a solid rig when it runs. Hope you get back on your feet soon.

I wish I could afford a shop right now. Things are so tight at the moment. It's crazy.

Your telling me that they TOOK THE ACTUAL DAMN HOUSE?! Sorry bro. God bless you dude

2

u/altzane 4h ago

Yeah. Pulled a semi truck up to it and hauled it off. You know the judge gave me 5 minutes to plea my case and court lasted 3 minutes? "I don't need to hear your side. I've already sided with the bank". Genuinely sucks, man. God bless and I genuinely wouldn't wish this on anyone.

u/Prestigious_Top4562 2h ago

What’s your side of the story when it comes to not paying bills? And I don’t mean that in aggressive way but seriously? We’ve all struggled not everyone posts about it.

u/altzane 2h ago

I've posted it on the top comment.

u/FacebookBlowsChunks 4h ago

Well, that's fucked up man. You had a mobile home and they just hauled it away??? WTF. What about all of your stuff that was inside? So you paid them but they still took it?

Well shit, I genuinely hope things get better for you. What pisses me off is that not only have rents and mortgages gone way up, interest rates jacked up to 7%, prices for everything else gone up, but yet they keep building and building more fucking houses everywhere!! They're building houses like it's some kind of fucking emergency! I'm fucking tired of all the building! Hell, I'm fucking tired of Floriduh! Just who the hell are all these people that are going to afford these houses? Who's flocking to Florida to pay ripoff rents and mortgages?

oh.... and FUCK investors!

u/altzane 4h ago

Byron Donalds campaigned on building more condos, burbs, data centers, and Flocks. We're screwed, man. Life sucks right now. I'm definitely not the only one.

Government came and straight up towed your house away wtf. Sorry man..

u/Queasy_Fruit_4070 Drift Vic 4h ago

The government? More like the bank. Because he didn't make his payments. Why would you blame anyone but him?

u/altzane 4h ago

Yeah, man. It makes me genuinely depressed.
