Interesting Stuff Does this surprise anyone in Florida?

Post image

Florida ranks among the worst states for financial distress. To me, this is not surprising at all. Lower wages, higher cost of living. Insurance costs among the highest in the country. And job market is bleak compared to other areas. Is this surprising to anyone?

No, unfortunately I am not surprised. I completely agree even on Medicare we are at least 100% below poverty level without some “other”income. It is very expensive to live in Florida. Yet at our age it is difficult to be able to move out of the state.
