I was born and raised in the Bronx, New York City.. i moved to Winter Park, Florida a year and a half ago and i planned to live the rest of my life down here... a total change of lifestyle, mentality and hospitality to go for
danny pacheco. question. how long be four taxies. go up. i live in n j. and move to va . i was. paying a car tax ever year.. and the food is very. high. and people are. saying. the rent are going up but you pay. no matter where. you go they get you one way. or another.
Where you are how the weather. Not. Long ago. there was a tornado. 15Minutes. from where we live we were. lucky. i hope. you and your. Family. are safe. take care i hate spring and summer. where we live but it ok
Grew up in Jersey and moved out in my 20's. Been in FL for 25 years. I didn't realize what a shit hole Jersey is until I lived elsewhere for a good period of time.
Glad you were able to be made aware of the truth. New Jersey people are toxic as fuck.... until they leave for a long time. I met a couple of people who did that, and they fucking constantly trashed that backwards state, and for good reason.
Moved to Central Florida 5 years ago and would recommend it to anyone, especially if you own a business or work for a national company. Other than that get ready for a pay cut.
Why? 1 - No State Income Taxes 2 - You don't have to shovel snow, and no road salt. 3 - Beaches that smell like sun-tan lotion, and not vomit and sewage like in NJ 4 - South Beach, Fort Lauderdale Beach, Disney World, Lego Land, Key West... 5 - All the jobs are moving there.
Humid hot Big Spiders Gators in every waterway Crazy Lightning Sinkholes Crazy ppl everywhere Rain in buckets Giant mosquitos Low wage jobs Hurricanes Flying roaches Have fun
@Tony Frescko I came from the Bronx to Florida. It's hot all year south of Orlando but I'm planning on moving to Melbourne. I hear the weather there is really nice.
All of Florida sucks! 1) overpopulated, get ready for long lines 2) most deadly highways in America per square mile 3) $140 / month in tolls using the sun pass 4) CDD fees (community development district fees) on average is $160/month 5) Highest HOA fees in America. $250/month 6) $$$ everything is a “resort” with a gate 7) highest house and car insurance in United States 8) nothing is relaxing here, all hectic with cars going 100 mph while some doing 40, you want your kids driving here? They will die. 9) no one speaks English….. it’s like a different country 10) schools suck 11) everything is flat down hill, roads are small and infrastructure crowded 24/7 12) everyone in America wants to move here and housing in non existent including renting 13) after being here for a year, I’m moving to s farm to buy 200 acres in the peaceful calm Midwest ….. my $750,000 home here cost $250k in Midwest and I get s basement. 14) backyards are non existent … 5 feet maybe 15) sun is ok, but waaaay over-rated. Rather have some nice winters… after being here bring on the cold….
@@torpedoLaw No one cares you're literally just complaining, "everything is flat down hill" what the hell did you expect? It's the flattest state in the U.S
Glad your happy there, that a must in life. For myself, I moved from 21 years in florida back to mid northern michigan, bought a beautiful home on a lake for 225000 and just love it as I love michigan summers with the lakes and boating, and fall and I know, oddly enough, love winter and snow. I enjoy the four seasons and each physiological change they bring. I absolutely despised the summer heat and bugs in fla and all the people moving in was making life miserable. To each their own, we are all lucky here in the US to have choices
@@Gh0stM2 no way lol. I guess it depends on what part of jersey you live. I live near NYC, and rent is ridiculously high for small crappy apartments. The place I'm getting in Tampa is literally half the price and twice the square footage. Plus it's just a lot nicer.
Yes. It’s hot. So take a shower in one of the 10 bathrooms you can now afford or float in your private pool. The homes cost less than a parking space in a parking deck in Harlem. That’s the realization that had that made us move back south from NYC. For less than the rent of our studio apartment- we can have a 8 bed 6.5 bath home 6 minutes to Disney world. The private schools also have no waitlists (and certainly not years long) and they cost a third as much. Sold. I’ll deal with the heat. At least now I’m in the AC in my Tesla vs schlepping my laundry down the street to the laundry mat while everything smells like summer garbage.
I moved to Florida in 2006 and stayed until 2012. Then I moved to south Texas for work. Being from NY I just can’t take the heat anymore, it gets old. I’m moving back to NY in 2 weeks and although I’m not a fan of snow, it sure beats the ridiculous heat and humidity for 10 months a year. Good luck and I wish you the best.
high humidity but no harsh winters with snow/salt on the roads for months on end. not to mention theres pretty high humidity in new jersey/northeast area aswell so basically he's just getting rid of the winter salt/snow aspect
i didnt say salty ocean ocean air doesnt fuck your car up. all i said was that he used to be exposed to salty ocean air and cold harsh winters. now its just salty air no more winters so the damage should be less where he is located now. read the whole fucking comment next time smart guy
Why did you move from NJ to Florida? Because you're smart?? NJ is cold and overpriced. Who actually wants to live there anymore?? Not me. I am from NJ and moved to Texas and never looked back.
+Jacqueline Vazquez im in the bronx too...i love my hometown(Harlem)...but i LOVE living in Miami Beach ...im moving back in July...the quality of life is awesome!
Great post, the post and comments are 6 years old and don't apply any more... I bought my house 6 years ago in Longwood FL for $220k and it's now worth $600k in Dec 2022! Florida prices are INSANE! Homeowners insurance is also very high!... You' can get a much better house in NJ and save $200k or more! Everyone is different so good luck!
What a beautiful home you have. Meanwhile, people are running out of New Jersey and New York as fast as they can by the millions to get away from the sky-high taxes, bad winter weather and lousy economies. A moving truck rental agent recently told a friend of mine in New York State that one of their biggest problems is that there are ten moving trucks leaving New York for every one coming back. Thus, they are constantly short of rental trucks. Well, that about says it all doesn't it.
Totally understand why you left, I lived in the same area in Jersey as you did but I settled down in South Carolina. Triple the house for a third of the price. Enjoy your new life in Fl
BudsandSuds75 how is south Carolina? I'm originally from nj and moved to florida. totally hate it here and it's getting expensive. I don't like the people as well.
I’ve lived in South Carolina all my life. I live in Lexington which is about 15 minutes from the capital Columbia. If you are ready to settle down, it ain’t too bad. For the younger crowd it may seem dead at times. I’m considering moving to a bigger city like Charlotte or Atlanta and then eventually move back. I’m an engineer and the job market (at least in Columbia) is not all that great. It’s also not very diverse and people still seem to have an ‘old south’ way of thinking.
As people move from high tax states .. generally run by democrats ... to low tax states they generally vote for higher taxes in their new low tax state. So . Over time . The high taxes that these people escaped come to their new state and these people then ask .. "what happened?" I live in florida and my property taxes and sales taxes are increasing because of elections where people vote to increase them
Unfortunately all the friends from the north will never come visit even if you make it easy for them to come down. Either because they are stuck in the rat race that is the north, and also the ones who are jealous and dont want to see you happy. Or the provincial people who dont ever leave. You are going to get a lot of "but Florida is too hot:, or " we would miss the seasons". All a bunch of BS.
Heat and humidity so high it actually kills people isn't "BS". This guy may live in a nice neighborhood with no crime..but most people can't afford that..which is why he never said how much he paid for his house..even though he made a big deal talking about how much his parents paid for theirs and taxes. And then there's the fact that FL is filled with crazy religious people and republican racists. No thanks. Unless you can afford a wealthy neighborhood in FL..it's just a big and hot shit hole for most.
Congratulations man! You made a good decision. I was born and raised in Florida and I'm glad that I have the opportunity to raise my family here as well.
NJ has so many problems. But when you live there you can't live anywhere else. I tried moving to Florida but I went back to nj lmao. Things just aren't the same in any of the other 49 states. It's hard to describe in words... But NJ is unique&unforgettable
New Jersey is cool because: 1. The oh-so-famous Jersey Shore 2. You’re close to New York City 3. Snow Storms allow sledding and days off from work/school
Wow, no comparison with New Jersey. What's not to like about Florida? Heat, a few bugs, even "stand your ground" is no big deal. Central Florida is beautiful.
That's the same reason I moved from NYC to Phoenix. I pay $1150 a month for a large 3 bedroom house in a very quiet area. I don't mind the heat in Phoenix, I got used to it after a year. Cars here are cheap and plentiful, and I have the huge California car market readily accessible to me without actually living in California. Vegas is a few hours away too, which is kinda cool.
You made a GOOD MOVE. Florida needs "people with purpose." Someone that will contribute to the economy rather than drain it. Good luck. You obviously have done well so far.
Your place is beautiful!! I left South Jersey 32 years ago ...have 150 acres in NE Pa House, horse barn...beautiful views...and no neighbors.. low taxes ($3000) and they just found natural gas. I love the snow so unfortunately, Fla is a no go. Also hear the alligators eat you pets. Best wishes but always remember... all of our blessings come from the good Lord. God bless!
Florida has a program called "save our homes" which caps the value and you have another $25000 in value reduced with Homestead exemption. That's why you pay less in taxes here. Our sales tax on items cover are in lieu of state tax. I like your videos and will be watching for more.
NJ is beige, dirty and expensive. NJ is that snow thats been on the side of the road for 3 weeks and is no longer the color of snow. 400k gets you a dirty old house that wasn't nice when it was originally built for a longshoreman in the 50s. Florida ain't great. All the roads are straight and it's hot and humid as hell, but you get a lot for your cash. So there's that.
Exactly, Hispanics are much more welcome in Florida than the North Carolina. North Carolina has no better job market than Florida and you can survive in Florida on less money. Florida is growing more and more each year with fortune 500 and 100 companies moving here due to no income tax and better services. August is a tough month here with the humidity and heat but otherwise from that it's a better deal than NC or NJ.
moving to or away from California?I can't stand the politics out here in Tennessee but it's a minor inconvenience. I just recently looked at prices in my old neighborhood, half a million dollars for a shack.
LivingMindfully1975 that's very true however I believe Chattanooga is a very close runner-up. They have come a very long way in a very very short amount of time. I live there in 89 and it was horrible. I visited as recently as 2007 and it was a completely different story.
It gets hot and humid. When it's in the 90s and the humidity is high, that's when it feels like a sauna outside. July and August are hot! The pollen in bad......but not as bad as here in Atlanta.
I'm going to disagree with you on that. I've been all over Alabama and I cannot think of one place I would actually speak fondly. Nashville is awesome but it's not all that. Especially places like Antioch. Jackie it can get hot but it's nothing like Southern Florida hot.
I was not complimenting AL when I said if Georgia didn't have Atlanta it would be just like AL. It was an insult to the rest of GA comparing it to AL. I lived in AL the first 26 years of my life and I know it's a sh*thole. Nashville used to be better than what it is now. A lot of what made it "Nashville" has been lost with the gentrification.
Scott L 400k doesnt buy you a house in my neighborhood or city at all. Right now theres not a single house on sale on zillow where i live that is under $550,000
Cevair Zufer That's an odd comment. Do you even realise that Sweden has one of the highest general taxation rates in the world? The income tax and the added employer tax on top are insane. Add to that a general 25% sales/goods tax and you can see what supports your apparently 'socaily equalized' property tax.
Psssst dude!!! Don’t advertise too much! Lol! Did it 12 years ago and even though I love NJ/NY, I would not live there anymore. I just got back from a getaway weekend in NYC and realized quickly why I moved to Florida as well. Watch out for love bugs man!!! Welcome to the Sunshine State! Good luck with everything!
Haters will hate, and that's thier problem, been binging on ur vids while in lockdown (covid19) and it was actually good to see u have reasons why u do stuff, keep up the awesome vids... Peace out from Australia
I moved to Jersey a few years back I lasted 5-6 months and left! Jersey is very expensive, not competitive, a lot of dirty cities/towns, high taxes, property taxes are ridiculous, overall not worth it! Now I live in the STL metro area in small suburb and I pay $5k in property taxes and is a very nice place!
I moved to Florida in 2015 and it’s the best thing I ever did. Of course, I retired so I don’t need a job. But my RE taxes were 15K a year in NY, couldn’t get from point a to point be without being stuck in a traffic jam. Expenses like food, electricity and gas were through the roof so I didn’t feel like I had a choice except to move. I happen to like the heat and hate the winter so that was another thing on the plus side for me. Also, my car needs way less maintenance down here and no salt and snow destroying my tires and finish on my car. I’ll deal with a hot summer for a few months to gain the benefit of 8 months of warm and sunny weather, it was a no brainer for me!
No crime in Florida? LOL!!!!!!!!!! You must be in some nice suburban place full of old people. Florida has some of the worst crime rated in the nation. I grew up there, in Miami. I am actually more scared to walk through most of Miami than through most of New York City. I lived in both places by the way, so I should know.
Hey Joseph have you been to NY lately? Miami was never safer than NYC at any point in time. It's a lot more dangerous now than NY is. I invite you to go walk through the streets of Liberty City, Carol City, Opa-Locka, or Overtown in Miami and see how long you last.
New York has undergone a huge clean-up and gentrification project since the 1990s. It's no longer the NY that you see in the movies from the 1980s. You can walk through most of Manhattan how at any time of the day and never have a problem.
coupleofbeers31 Walk NYC anytime, have you seen the recent news 17-year-old detained for attempted rape in Stuy Town, sickening rape of 51-year-old Queens woman last Oct. & most recent Brooklyn cab driver raped, robbed woman at knifepoint. Talk about safety. Miami is going through gentrification too Wynwood, SoBe still a prime example. Not to argue Miami has its crime but NYC is not behind.
NYC went through a major gentrification and also NYC has decriminalized some crimes to make their streets seem safer. Miami's downtown area has and is still being rebuilt. Do you know why it's flourishing ? Because many NYC financial moguls are moving here to the Brickell area. They run fiber to their homes and trade in Florida now due to the lack of income tax paid here. Wall Street has declined every year and Forbes listed the Brickell area as the new financial mecca.
Me and my family are moving from Colorado to Florida! It's because the Denver area is becoming like California... The prices for homes are way out of control, there is congested traffic all of the time (even on Sunday Afternoons), and there are people from out of town everywhere.... We want a house like you have, and that is increasingly less and less likely in Denver unless you're rich.
Thank you for making this video. I'm in chicago & am looking into moving to Florida this coming year. Chicago taxes are high AF and this city looks to nickel and dime its residents like crazy. Thanks again. I just shared this with my wife to know why I'm so into moving to Florida
@@illegalalien6542 This shit hole is paradise compared to New Jersey. Also, you rarely come across trash talking tough guys that are in dire need of their ass beat to shut them the fuck up.
Excellent video! We moved here about 7 years ago. Everyone seems to assume Florida is expensive. We bought our house dirt cheap...of course it was during the bottom after the crash...and we are 20-25 minutes away from the Gulf of Mexico. We are from Ohio and I find the cost of living to be similar. I do LOVE seeing all the cool cars down here and all the car shows :) My main side of living down here is the traffic. We live between Rt 75 and Rt 41 and it gets really backed up. I'm glad our town is getitng built up so we don't have to drive far to go where we want. The winters are amazing and yes summer is hot but I love it. I do wish we had a pool though :) Melody
I have lived in New Jersey [Middlesex County] my entire life. That's 27 years. Job are becoming constantly unstable, crime won't stop rising, and taxes are rising yet again. I can't wait to move to Fort Lauderdale.
If you're working from home, Florida, especially Central FL is fine. But if you have to make a living in the "offline" world, you're going to have a hard time paying that mortgage. There definitely is a good car culture in FL. Central FL isn't bad but ugh, I grew up there and have nooo desire to go back.
Dont apologize for moving to Florida, i feel relaxed just watching the video. It looks so green and peaceful, the grounds for the house look so relaxing. As for the heat and the bugs you will get used to it, i lived in the tropics for years and once you are used to it, you miss it when you leave.
Why wouldn't you move from NJ to FL? The better question is what took so long? That's what I ask myself. I moved from NJ to FL 3 years ago and have not looked back. NJ is horrible(lived there for about 17 years), I absolutely hated it. High taxes, high home prices, overcrowding, crime, it's just a mess. Much cheaper in FL, no snow, and like you said, no car emissions or safety inspections. Funny that you mentioned cruises. That was also one of the big reasons my wife and I picked FL. We go on a couple a year. I'm in the Tampa area and love it. Some decent FL roads can be found here - www.motorcycleroads.com/Routes/Florida_85.html Nice house. Congrats.
it's expensive but not everywhere what's gonna happen when all these northern snowbirds move there it'll be like nj but hotter and buggier and become as crowded
Moved from Brooklyn, New York to Miami. I️ absolutely hate it. My biggest regret. People (in Miami specifically, not Florida as a whole) are lazy bums, can’t hold a job, poorly educated, and have no purpose. The Florida weather is disgusting. Hurricanes, bugs, humidity, it’s basically a swamp. I️ go back to New York every year and i never get tired of it. I️ hope to move back in 2017. Florida is overrated - don’t move here if you’re coming from New England states because trust me, the trade offs are not worth it! Take it from someone who’s been here for 10 years.
Brandon Ramirez +1 I moved from NJ to South Florida. I hated it. Went back. There is something about NJ/NY that if you live there.... you cant live anywhere else
Damn bro, you hating on Miami too much on every video , may be because you can't fit in to the fly life of Miami. You don't like, it get your ass out of here and live amongst the rats and bed bug. Don't discourage everybody because you couldn't make it i Miami.
Tony Kifle i couldn’t make it in Miami? I’ve made the most money in Miami than i ever could in any other city. The people here are lazy bums that don’t have real jobs and i can’t wait to live in my beautiful city of New York.
Good luck with extremely high rent , rats and bed bugs. I used to live in Harlem, 139th and Lenox . Used own a clothing boutique in Harlem , I love the grimey part of NewYork but there is nothing like Miami. You should be grateful you made the most money in Miami. If you don't like it, thats fine but don't spew hate on the city. There are dumb lazy people everywhere NY MIA LA
Tony Kifle nothing like Miami? You don’t travel much do you? People only come to Miami because it’s the cheapest alternative vacation spot to other places. You want to see something “unique” go to Santorini, Cancun, Panama, etc. Miami is nothing compared to those cities in every aspect from the beaches to the nightlife. Please.
2018 Jersey is ranked #1 for people leaving the state. Connecticut is ranked #3 I moved last year to Florida. Both states are finding way to raise taxes as we speak. Yes it can get hot but it never gets to -5 in Florida.
I moved to Fl from Jersey in 2014 and I love it here. I’ve been wanting to move here since I was 20. All I can say is that I should have done it years ago. I’ld probably be better off now. Anyways if you’re thinking about the move, stop thinking about it and do it. Especially if you have a profession! Florida is beautiful, so many places to go and things to do. Don’t worry about the hurricanes, they give you ample warnings and newer houses are built pretty strong.
daredevil7442 Floriduh sucks with its low wages and shitty weather. Most of Jersey is in the NYC metro, one of the most important areas in the world with endless things to do. Just accept that Floriduh is garbage and that the people that move there have a low GAF score.
Robert Fernadez: you can keep the cespool of that area. All you hear is noise. I prefer relaxation & quite. Yes weather is hot & humid in the summer but when you get older the cold hurts because of athritis. I live in southeastern Michigan & wish I could live in Florida during the winters. I prefer the gulf coast. South of Tampa.
My brother I feel your pain. A lot of people do not know what it's like to live in New York City or the tri-state area I have a three bedroom house that cost 460000 I am actually thinking about moving to Florida also it's just the bugs and the heat I can't take
Congratulations on your move, I lived in N.Y, L.A, Now in Miami Florida in which I hate. Im headed further north to central fl in about a year. Cant wait. Im a fan of yours and I enjoy your channel. Its one of the coolest channels for car fanatics. Hoovies garage is great too. That's how I found you. Thanks for what you do. Its entertaining.
@@pdb2k154 I am disabled with severe progressive multiple sclerosis. Life has been kicking my ass. But I will recover. Just staying positive. I totally dig your channel, and all of the things that you have accomplished. That is completely cool.
I did the move from Cherry Hill nj. In 12/16. To Cocoa fl. Taxes in nj are mind blowing! To say the least. I have 2 vehicles, one I flew up and got the other I had carried down on a car carrier. I used a service called u ship. It's the eBay of shipping you can ship almost anything to anywhere. Give it a shot. I had my f150 brought down for $500.00.Your video was awesome dude! Thanks!!
I agree with you 100%. I'm looking to retire & move.... A mansion in Florida is literally half price of what a piece of crap is where I live now.... and the taxes are night & day, to say the least.... I fully expect to be joining you in the next 35 months or so.... and, I look forward to the S500 videos.... Keep it up!
I'll be making plans right behind you bro. Commiefornia is just out of control. gov. Jerry Moonbean will be taxing cows for flatullating come January. You know poeple will be next.
Colorado Kingz everywhere good if you got money. The homeless are harmless. Stay out the hood areas not just Arlington Jacksonville is a huge city and IMO the most dangerous city in Florida. I'm a life long Floridian and I live less than an hour away from Jacksonville. Shootings and murders regularly and everything in between. But if you got money you might not see all that.
Hey Tavarish, I’m fairly new to your channel. I jumped on around the time you bought the Lambo. I gotta tell you what you’ve done on that car, your creativity, resourcefulness, and problem solving is amazing. It really encourages those of us out here that maybe have doubts that we could properly get our respective projects done the way we’ve envisioned. So a big thanks and RESPECT goes out to you for tacking every single issue that comes up and sharing it with us. Your content is very valuable. I wish all the very best to you and your family and look forward to all your content. Even as you say”junk”. It all had value. Thank you!!
Florida native myself, glad you like the sunshine state. It ain’t perfect, but hearing outside folks like yourself saying you prefer it, makes us locals beam with pride! Yes I do get tired of the heat & bugs, but it’s worth it.
@@malvolio01 there are lot of nicer and affordable areas I live in atlantic county and for 270k you can get a 2500 square foot house with a 1250 square foot basement and 2 car garege there is also casinos beaches and boardwalks near by
I am a Jersey girl (currently in Texas) and my parents and my two aunts moved from New Jersey to Florida 2 years ago. They had to pay the exit tax when they sold their houses. There are hundreds of people in South Jersey that are turning the keys over to the bank and leaving, because they can no longer afford the property taxes. One of the biggest problems in NJ is that there are more people on welfare than tax payers. So the tax payers have been burdened with the extra load. I will be moving to Florida in a couple months, and I already know several people in the area I am going. I have a lot of friends that I grew up with that moved there. I just hope we don't sink the peninsula with all the people from NJ! LOL
Every state has its pluses and minuses. I'm in Dallas and, for the most part, I love it here ... despite the summer heat! Compared to the rest of Texas, our big cities are quite liberal and Democrat. Unfortunately, a lot of people are moving here (especially from CA), so houses are skyrocketing in value, along with property taxes.
I was asking myself the same exact thing... Why in the hell did I move from Edison NJ, where I was born and raised, to hot ass south Florida? Ughhh I wanna go back home
I sometimes think this too but I can't afford to live in NJ anymore. I also can't stand the lack of services and expenses. I pay a quarter of the property taxes (but my HOA fees seem to increase it to a third) I also live 7 miles from the beach and within an hour of Fort Lauderdale and Miami. You can't survive in NJ anymore if you want to own a home, if you want live and rent maybe. I go back to NYC and NJ constantly and don't hate it but just find myself asking why I stayed so long. Be retired but still work the same job is amassing me some good money since we have no income tax. Much better quality of life and living. I miss my friends and family though and that's why I go back otherwise the hell with NJ and NYC.
Dude, you made a great choice. Low taxes is huge!! I live in illinois and the taxes are nuts here too. I looked at 2 homes that were around 185000.00 one in illinois and the other in Indiana. The property tax in illinois was in the 5 to 6000.00 a year range and the same cost house in Indiana was about 1500.00 a year!!! Holy cow!!! I’m hearing a lot of talk ( on the radio) about they are trying to lower our property taxes in this state due to the fact that people are moving out like crazy. My family has been in this area since the 1700’s. I’d prefer not to move but it almost don’t make sense to stay except we have 4 grown kids in the area. My wife isn’t on board with the idea, I’ll have to keep working this plan.
👍 Cool video . I hear you about " burn out " - it's not worth it. Glad you are happy you moved . I lived in Stuart and got the humidity horror blues and came back to CA .
Thanks for the video bro. I was living in NY and now I am living in NJ working in NY but I am so sick and tired of NY and NJ and I really want to move to Florida where I have relatives and the life is easier. The only thing preventing me from leaving is my job. Any advise?
Did you try looking up jobs in the area you want to move to? That would be step 1. Then call the company and set up an interview. If you get it, you're all set.
I live in CT so I know 1st hand about high taxes and cost of living. It's a beautiful state but being made unaffordable by the liberals and democracts in power. It also a sanctuary state. I've already sold my over taxed 70 year old house and packing up for FL.
hey victor good thing you move to florida ,I love florida so much that I been here all my life ,and also live in paradise [ florida keys] ,fishing is awesome and you can go swimming here to up late November , welcome to florida and enjoy the weather
late november?? i have gone swimming way up north in fl at daytona beach in january and the water was tolerable. the currents/gulf stream must have been close to shore at the time because it would normally be chilly that time of year up there. but miami and the keys i would expect year round swimming.
Sir, you are awesome and everything we were missing since we moved here. Welcoming and kind. :) Thanks for cheering me up. We got a whole not of unwelcoming, mean farmboy nonsense. lol We've lived in other states and they were all nice. I guess there are more Aholes here then in NJ (for sure) but hopefully we will outnumber them or because they were not as nice as you.
I moved to Florida with my parents by in 95 from New York and now in 2018 price have doubled in price so now I found it cheaper to live north of Atlanta Georgia.
Chicago to Florida in 2011. Wife is a beach girl so I'm a Realtor on the gulf coast. Weather is awesome. Hot in the summer but you get used to it. Winter is wonderful. Ride a motorcycle or drive a sports car most of the year. No state income tax. Property taxes are low. State's budget is balanced. Compare that to Illinois or NJ. LOL Great channel!
Wow 3000 on taxes for under an acre glad I live on 20 acres in the mountains of North Alabama for 1.34 per acre a year and way less neighbors and govt oversight. Yet one more reason not to live in Florida.
My brother and his wife did the EXACT same thing... from Manhattan to "New Tampa", Florida.... lower taxes, the sale of their condo on 153/Broadway paid for the house, cash... has a Florida room, pool.. 4 bedrooms... perfect neighborhood... Publix Food Stores.... and zero crime.... Good choice, Sir!... Scott in Cleburne, Tx
I was born and raised in the Bronx, New York City.. i moved to Winter Park, Florida a year and a half ago and i planned to live the rest of my life down here... a total change of lifestyle, mentality and hospitality to go for
Living in nyc is stressful. Visiting Miami gave me a new perspective in life

Winter Park is beautiful! Such a nice town.
Grew up in Jersey and moved out in my 20's. Been in FL for 25 years. I didn't realize what a shit hole Jersey is until I lived elsewhere for a good period of time.
Eric Gregory I wish I saw snow I’ve lived in Florida my whole life and never left bc my mother won’t let me 😑
Glad you were able to be made aware of the truth.
New Jersey people are toxic as fuck.... until they leave for a long time.
I met a couple of people who did that, and they fucking constantly trashed that backwards state, and for good reason.
Florida is no good either
@@JoseMorales-iy6xo Florids has a big problem with violence.
Sooooo true!! Been living in jersey my whole life, will be 23. And I’m promising myself that i will LEAVE SOON!!!!
Moved to Central Florida 5 years ago and would recommend it to anyone, especially if you own a business or work for a national company. Other than that get ready for a pay cut.
Why?
1 - No State Income Taxes
2 - You don't have to shovel snow, and no road salt.
3 - Beaches that smell like sun-tan lotion, and not vomit and sewage like in NJ
4 - South Beach, Fort Lauderdale Beach, Disney World, Lego Land, Key West...
5 - All the jobs are moving there.
Thank you because I'm moving to Sarasota the end of this here
Humid hot
Big Spiders

Lol I’ve lived in Miami Florida all my life, I would never want to live anywhere else because I hate anything under 70 degrees 😂
@Tony Frescko I came from the Bronx to Florida. It's hot all year south of Orlando but I'm planning on moving to Melbourne. I hear the weather there is really nice.
All of Florida sucks!
1) overpopulated, get ready for long lines
2) most deadly highways in America per square mile
3) $140 / month in tolls using the sun pass
4) CDD fees (community development district fees) on average is $160/month
5) Highest HOA fees in America. $250/month
6) $$$ everything is a “resort” with a gate
7) highest house and car insurance in United States
8) nothing is relaxing here, all hectic with cars going 100 mph while some doing 40, you want your kids driving here? They will die.
9) no one speaks English….. it’s like a different country
10) schools suck
11) everything is flat down hill, roads are small and infrastructure crowded 24/7
12) everyone in America wants to move here and housing in non existent including renting
13) after being here for a year, I’m moving to s farm to buy 200 acres in the peaceful calm Midwest ….. my $750,000 home here cost $250k in Midwest and I get s basement.
14) backyards are non existent … 5 feet maybe
15) sun is ok, but waaaay over-rated. Rather have some nice winters… after being here bring on the cold….
@@torpedoLaw No one cares you're literally just complaining, "everything is flat down hill" what the hell did you expect? It's the flattest state in the U.S
I was born in Florida and I love anything below 70 degrees as long as i have a sweater and I won’t get frostbite
Glad your happy there, that a must in life. For myself, I moved from 21 years in florida back to mid northern michigan, bought a beautiful home on a lake for 225000 and just love it as I love michigan summers with the lakes and boating, and fall and I know, oddly enough, love winter and snow. I enjoy the four seasons and each physiological change they bring. I absolutely despised the summer heat and bugs in fla and all the people moving in was making life miserable. To each their own, we are all lucky here in the US to have choices
man, you mean michigan where its a known fact you are over run by muslims
@@beverlya6338 lol
I moved from NJ to South Florida. I would NEVER EVER go back!
thats my plan jersey sucks
Moving from NJ to Tampa next month. Sick of this state, and it's too damn expensive.
@@LuisMBuildz it's a job transfer. I'm moving from my new york city office to our Tampa office. I'm an electrical engineer. So excited for the move.
@@Engineer_Heathen sorry to say the prices from New Jersey and Florida about the same for rental
@@Gh0stM2 no way lol. I guess it depends on what part of jersey you live. I live near NYC, and rent is ridiculously high for small crappy apartments. The place I'm getting in Tampa is literally half the price and twice the square footage. Plus it's just a lot nicer.
Fellow Jersey guy here but I am in Fort Lauderdale..... and it's awesome. 1 block to the beach! GO FLORIDA!
Richard Wernsing , Fort Lauderdale is a dump!
Fellow Jersey girl. I am in Clearwater beach. Love it.
Florida is a cesspool
Go on AquaVista Lane in Ft Lauderdale and tell me its a dump
Your poor
He's just walking and talking and looks like he ran a marathon!! That FL heat 🔥!!!
Yeah it sucks during the summer months. But when you guys are freezing thats when the weather down here is amazing.
The struggle is real lol.
Yes. It’s hot. So take a shower in one of the 10 bathrooms you can now afford or float in your private pool. The homes cost less than a parking space in a parking deck in Harlem. That’s the realization that had that made us move back south from NYC. For less than the rent of our studio apartment- we can have a 8 bed 6.5 bath home 6 minutes to Disney world. The private schools also have no waitlists (and certainly not years long) and they cost a third as much. Sold. I’ll deal with the heat. At least now I’m in the AC in my Tesla vs schlepping my laundry down the street to the laundry mat while everything smells like summer garbage.
I moved to Florida in 2006 and stayed until 2012. Then I moved to south Texas for work. Being from NY I just can’t take the heat anymore, it gets old. I’m moving back to NY in 2 weeks and although I’m not a fan of snow, it sure beats the ridiculous heat and humidity for 10 months a year. Good luck and I wish you the best.
#1 rule for bloggers; Live with mom and dad until you can marry up. It makes much more sense now. Thanks for this!
I wish it was that easy.
You forgot to mention the used cars you'll find in Florida will be pretty much rust free
are you sure?? i hear its always humid in Florida, which means more rust??
high humidity but no harsh winters with snow/salt on the roads for months on end. not to mention theres pretty high humidity in new jersey/northeast area aswell so basically he's just getting rid of the winter salt/snow aspect
Bull shit. I've lived here my whole life, the salty ocean air will straight fuck your car.
i didnt say salty ocean ocean air doesnt fuck your car up. all i said was that he used to be exposed to salty ocean air and cold harsh winters. now its just salty air no more winters so the damage should be less where he is located now. read the whole fucking comment next time smart guy
oh yea new Jersey winter can be crazy, I didn't think about the salty roads, that's a huge problem with rusting
Why did you move from NJ to Florida? Because you're smart?? NJ is cold and overpriced. Who actually wants to live there anymore?? Not me. I am from NJ and moved to Texas and never looked back.
victor bozzo god bless man i want to move to FL im from the bronx and am just tired of the stress!!!
Raymond Negron I kno what you mean I live in the Bronx too I'm looking to get the Heck Out of Da Bronx
Jacqueline Vazquez i hate it,, im out
+Jacqueline Vazquez im in the bronx too...i love my hometown(Harlem)...but i LOVE living in Miami Beach ...im moving back in July...the quality of life is awesome!
Geoffrey Phipps miami beach is expensive from what i hear
Great post, the post and comments are 6 years old and don't apply any more... I bought my house 6 years ago in Longwood FL for $220k and it's now worth $600k in Dec 2022! Florida prices are INSANE! Homeowners insurance is also very high!... You' can get a much better house in NJ and save $200k or more! Everyone is different so good luck!
What a beautiful home you have. Meanwhile, people are running out of New Jersey and New York as fast as they can by the millions to get away from the sky-high taxes, bad winter weather and lousy economies. A moving truck rental agent recently told a friend of mine in New York State that one of their biggest problems is that there are ten moving trucks leaving New York for every one coming back. Thus, they are constantly short of rental trucks. Well, that about says it all doesn't it.
Totally understand why you left, I lived in the same area in Jersey as you did but I settled down in South Carolina. Triple the house for a third of the price. Enjoy your new life in Fl
BudsandSuds75 I'm from NJ as well. I can't wait to get out of this state
BudsandSuds75 how is south Carolina? I'm originally from nj and moved to florida. totally hate it here and it's getting expensive. I don't like the people as well.
I’ve lived in South Carolina all my life. I live in Lexington which is about 15 minutes from the capital Columbia. If you are ready to settle down, it ain’t too bad. For the younger crowd it may seem dead at times. I’m considering moving to a bigger city like Charlotte or Atlanta and then eventually move back. I’m an engineer and the job market (at least in Columbia) is not all that great. It’s also not very diverse and people still seem to have an ‘old south’ way of thinking.
sun shine I don’t blame you I live in Florida I hate it smh
As people move from high tax states .. generally run by democrats ... to low tax states they generally vote for higher taxes in their new low tax state. So . Over time . The high taxes that these people escaped come to their new state and these people then ask .. "what happened?"
I live in florida and my property taxes and sales taxes are increasing because of elections where people vote to increase them
you described all the reasons why I left the tri state area NY, NJ, CT... for central fl...
i know Im quite randomly asking but does anybody know of a good site to stream new movies online?
@Wayne Miller Flixportal =)
@Jamal Jude thank you, I signed up and it seems like a nice service =) I really appreciate it!
@Wayne Miller No problem :D
Unfortunately all the friends from the north will never come visit even if you make it easy for them to come down. Either because they are stuck in the rat race that is the north, and also the ones who are jealous and dont want to see you happy. Or the provincial people who dont ever leave. You are going to get a lot of "but Florida is too hot:, or " we would miss the seasons". All a bunch of BS.
They'll visit, but they won't likely move. Especially the parents.
Hmm. I am not so sure. Well have to see ..my experience has been that they just think their lovely state is the center of the world.
Florida is disgusting
viyau wrong, it's IS hot as hell here and I do miss the seasons . What's up with this humidity !!!!! Fuck
Heat and humidity so high it actually kills people isn't "BS". This guy may live in a nice neighborhood with no crime..but most people can't afford that..which is why he never said how much he paid for his house..even though he made a big deal talking about how much his parents paid for theirs and taxes. And then there's the fact that FL is filled with crazy religious people and republican racists. No thanks. Unless you can afford a wealthy neighborhood in FL..it's just a big and hot shit hole for most.
Congratulations man! You made a good decision. I was born and raised in Florida and I'm glad that I have the opportunity to raise my family here as well.
NJ has so many problems. But when you live there you can't live anywhere else. I tried moving to Florida but I went back to nj lmao.
Things just aren't the same in any of the other 49 states. It's hard to describe in words... But NJ is unique&unforgettable
Nj is satans trash bin. i hate this place so much
Jordan Sharpe why would you wanna go back to danger, scary, rude, terrible road, poverty paterson?
I would love to move to Jersey. But way too expensive
I agree 100% especially the pizza
New Jersey is cool because:
1. The oh-so-famous Jersey Shore
2. You’re close to New York City
3. Snow Storms allow sledding and days off from work/school
Wow, no comparison with New Jersey. What's not to like about Florida? Heat, a few bugs, even "stand your ground" is no big deal. Central Florida is beautiful.
i live in jersey and plan on moving to Orlando in december...what areas are nice to live in?
Kenwood Drive I am from Orlando and I would say to move to dr. Phillips area
Rodney Brown
Central is hotter than by coast
Anthony Rivera i thought the westside of orlando was bad
Rodney Brown Florida is garbage
That's the same reason I moved from NYC to Phoenix. I pay $1150 a month for a large 3 bedroom house in a very quiet area. I don't mind the heat in Phoenix, I got used to it after a year. Cars here are cheap and plentiful, and I have the huge California car market readily accessible to me without actually living in California. Vegas is a few hours away too, which is kinda cool.
You made a GOOD MOVE. Florida needs "people with purpose." Someone that will contribute to the economy rather than drain it. Good luck. You obviously have done well so far.
Fl. needs to pay a livable wage. "right to work" state?
Your place is beautiful!! I left South Jersey 32 years ago ...have 150 acres in NE Pa House, horse barn...beautiful views...and no neighbors.. low taxes ($3000) and they just found natural gas. I love the snow so unfortunately, Fla is a no go. Also hear the alligators eat you pets. Best wishes but always remember... all of our blessings come from the good Lord. God bless!
I moved to Florida from NC to start the Keto diet and what happened next is incredible. Whatever your motivation, make your dream happen
Florida has a program called "save our homes" which caps the value and you have another $25000 in value reduced with Homestead exemption. That's why you pay less in taxes here. Our sales tax on items cover are in lieu of state tax. I like your videos and will be watching for more.
NJ is beige, dirty and expensive. NJ is that snow thats been on the side of the road for 3 weeks and is no longer the color of snow. 400k gets you a dirty old house that wasn't nice when it was originally built for a longshoreman in the 50s.
Florida ain't great. All the roads are straight and it's hot and humid as hell, but you get a lot for your cash. So there's that.
hit the nail on the head! *pure comedy though* :)
DeanoTXR53 Same with Canada except the healthcare
Florida sucks. Moving from Long Island to Charlotte NC was like moving to heaven
Pamela Jean could you explain the difference between Charlotte and Florida and also is Charlotte a good place for Hispanics?
Exactly, Hispanics are much more welcome in Florida than the North Carolina. North Carolina has no better job market than Florida and you can survive in Florida on less money. Florida is growing more and more each year with fortune 500 and 100 companies moving here due to no income tax and better services. August is a tough month here with the humidity and heat but otherwise from that it's a better deal than NC or NJ.
You earned it! Enjoy every second! Can't wait for the next video, loving this channel!
You don't come to Florida to make money, you come to Florida with money.
Nice lawn. I live in Kissimmee. Our taxes are $700 a year. House like yours, tad less property...
How much does your house cost
Yep. This is the reason me and my family moved from California to Tennessee. I would have never have the opportunity to own a house out there.
moving to or away from California?I can't stand the politics out here in Tennessee but it's a minor inconvenience. I just recently looked at prices in my old neighborhood, half a million dollars for a shack.
LivingMindfully1975 that's very true however I believe Chattanooga is a very close runner-up. They have come a very long way in a very very short amount of time. I live there in 89 and it was horrible. I visited as recently as 2007 and it was a completely different story.
It gets hot and humid. When it's in the 90s and the humidity is high, that's when it feels like a sauna outside. July and August are hot! The pollen in bad......but not as bad as here in Atlanta.
I'm going to disagree with you on that. I've been all over Alabama and I cannot think of one place I would actually speak fondly.
Nashville is awesome but it's not all that. Especially places like Antioch.
Jackie it can get hot but it's nothing like Southern Florida hot.
I was not complimenting AL when I said if Georgia didn't have Atlanta it would be just like AL. It was an insult to the rest of GA comparing it to AL. I lived in AL the first 26 years of my life and I know it's a sh*thole. Nashville used to be better than what it is now. A lot of what made it "Nashville" has been lost with the gentrification.
3 years since you made this video: do you still like FL?
No!
400K is not expensive compared to NYC.
Scott L 400k doesnt buy you a house in my neighborhood or city at all. Right now theres not a single house on sale on zillow where i live that is under $550,000
Lived in Florida for 13 years, now Im back in the Northeast, the only thing I miss are my FL friends, I love the seasons here.
Exactly why I’m moving from California to Nevada
insane property taxes! In Sweden for now we have fixed rate about 1000$ no matter what house you have or where.
Yeah but you have to live in Sweden.
Cevair Zufer That's an odd comment. Do you even realise that Sweden has one of the highest general taxation rates in the world? The income tax and the added employer tax on top are insane. Add to that a general 25% sales/goods tax and you can see what supports your apparently 'socaily equalized' property tax.
Psssst dude!!! Don’t advertise too much! Lol! Did it 12 years ago and even though I love NJ/NY, I would not live there anymore. I just got back from a getaway weekend in NYC and realized quickly why I moved to Florida as well. Watch out for love bugs man!!! Welcome to the Sunshine State! Good luck with everything!
I have been living in Naples, FL. for 15 years, and I love it.
Haters will hate, and that's thier problem, been binging on ur vids while in lockdown (covid19) and it was actually good to see u have reasons why u do stuff, keep up the awesome vids... Peace out from Australia
I moved to Jersey a few years back I lasted 5-6 months and left! Jersey is very expensive, not competitive, a lot of dirty cities/towns, high taxes, property taxes are ridiculous, overall not worth it! Now I live in the STL metro area in small suburb and I pay $5k in property taxes and is a very nice place!
I moved to Florida in 2015 and it’s the best thing I ever did. Of course, I retired so I don’t need a job. But my RE taxes were 15K a year in NY, couldn’t get from point a to point be without being stuck in a traffic jam. Expenses like food, electricity and gas were through the roof so I didn’t feel like I had a choice except to move. I happen to like the heat and hate the winter so that was another thing on the plus side for me. Also, my car needs way less maintenance down here and no salt and snow destroying my tires and finish on my car. I’ll deal with a hot summer for a few months to gain the benefit of 8 months of warm and sunny weather, it was a no brainer for me!
Im trying to move from Boston MA. Whats a good place to live with kids u think?
@The Giants good thing in fl you can tint your windows BLACK legally 👍🏻
No crime in Florida? LOL!!!!!!!!!! You must be in some nice suburban place full of old people. Florida has some of the worst crime rated in the nation. I grew up there, in Miami. I am actually more scared to walk through most of Miami than through most of New York City. I lived in both places by the way, so I should know.
coupleofbeers31 NYC is bigger & worst so don't speak bad about Miami
Hey Joseph have you been to NY lately? Miami was never safer than NYC at any point in time. It's a lot more dangerous now than NY is. I invite you to go walk through the streets of Liberty City, Carol City, Opa-Locka, or Overtown in Miami and see how long you last.
New York has undergone a huge clean-up and gentrification project since the 1990s. It's no longer the NY that you see in the movies from the 1980s. You can walk through most of Manhattan how at any time of the day and never have a problem.
coupleofbeers31 Walk NYC anytime, have you seen the recent news 17-year-old detained for attempted rape in Stuy Town, sickening rape of 51-year-old Queens woman last Oct. & most recent Brooklyn cab driver raped, robbed woman at knifepoint. Talk about safety. Miami is going through gentrification too Wynwood, SoBe still a prime example. Not to argue Miami has its crime but NYC is not behind.
NYC went through a major gentrification and also NYC has decriminalized some crimes to make their streets seem safer. Miami's downtown area has and is still being rebuilt. Do you know why it's flourishing ? Because many NYC financial moguls are moving here to the Brickell area. They run fiber to their homes and trade in Florida now due to the lack of income tax paid here. Wall Street has declined every year and Forbes listed the Brickell area as the new financial mecca.
Me and my family are moving from Colorado to Florida! It's because the Denver area is becoming like California... The prices for homes are way out of control, there is congested traffic all of the time (even on Sunday Afternoons), and there are people from out of town everywhere.... We want a house like you have, and that is increasingly less and less likely in Denver unless you're rich.
Marcus J. Farmer Florida isn't cheap neither
Thank you for making this video. I'm in chicago & am looking into moving to Florida this coming year. Chicago taxes are high AF and this city looks to nickel and dime its residents like crazy. Thanks again. I just shared this with my wife to know why I'm so into moving to Florida
To many people from the NE moving to FL. Destroying once was a great state.

Pretty much.

Excellent video! We moved here about 7 years ago. Everyone seems to assume Florida is expensive. We bought our house dirt cheap...of course it was during the bottom after the crash...and we are 20-25 minutes away from the Gulf of Mexico. We are from Ohio and I find the cost of living to be similar. I do LOVE seeing all the cool cars down here and all the car shows :) My main side of living down here is the traffic. We live between Rt 75 and Rt 41 and it gets really backed up. I'm glad our town is getitng built up so we don't have to drive far to go where we want. The winters are amazing and yes summer is hot but I love it. I do wish we had a pool though :) Melody
The reason why it's so cheap is because you don't make as much money down there.
Max Drelinger facts and im from Florida
max, make less money and spend less money equals the same thing duffes
beverly a
Depends
what the heck were you thinking.
just kidding, home looks very nice and you look relaxed,it is what it is, make the best of it
Sorry but you can keep Florida. Lived in Tallahassee for 4 years and graduated from FSU. Could not tolerate the heat and humidity.
I have lived in New Jersey [Middlesex County] my entire life. That's 27 years. Job are becoming constantly unstable, crime won't stop rising, and taxes are rising yet again. I can't wait to move to Fort Lauderdale.
If you're working from home, Florida, especially Central FL is fine. But if you have to make a living in the "offline" world, you're going to have a hard time paying that mortgage. There definitely is a good car culture in FL.
Central FL isn't bad but ugh, I grew up there and have nooo desire to go back.
I’m getting the he’ll out of Jersey I work just to pay taxes and insurance
Man I'm in Jersey now and I have been thinking about moving to Florida. The cost of living in New Jersey is ridiculous. I
Dont apologize for moving to Florida, i feel relaxed just watching the video. It looks so green and peaceful, the grounds for the house look so relaxing.
As for the heat and the bugs you will get used to it, i lived in the tropics for years and once you are used to it, you miss it when you leave.
NJ towns always rank best school s and towns in country...You get what you pay for... Vacation in Florida is great ,living there is different
Schools in Florida are getting better I hear.
lmao NEWARK has good schools ? Dumbass
Florida has one of the best schools look it up
And that sir, is the benefits of Conservative values and leadership in the government of Fl compared to that of NJ!
Welcome to FL!
@ Deepsea Sports Funny I thought Governor Christy of NJ was a conservative Republican. They had enough of him though...
@@kingtrance6826 We'll see how democrats govern. We already know how horrible Flim Flam Florio was. Democrats ruin every city and state they touch.
Why wouldn't you move from NJ to FL? The better question is what took so long? That's what I ask myself. I moved from NJ to FL 3 years ago and have not looked back. NJ is horrible(lived there for about 17 years), I absolutely hated it. High taxes, high home prices, overcrowding, crime, it's just a mess. Much cheaper in FL, no snow, and like you said, no car emissions or safety inspections.
Funny that you mentioned cruises. That was also one of the big reasons my wife and I picked FL. We go on a couple a year.
I'm in the Tampa area and love it.
Some decent FL roads can be found here - www.motorcycleroads.com/Routes/Florida_85.html
Nice house. Congrats.
Ken P Me and you are alike. I hate jersey for the all the same reasons and more. Im moving to florida myself too. I cant it here. Terrible place to be
it's expensive but not everywhere what's gonna happen when all these northern snowbirds move there it'll be like nj but hotter and buggier and become as crowded
Moved from Brooklyn, New York to Miami. I️ absolutely hate it. My biggest regret. People (in Miami specifically, not Florida as a whole) are lazy bums, can’t hold a job, poorly educated, and have no purpose. The Florida weather is disgusting. Hurricanes, bugs, humidity, it’s basically a swamp. I️ go back to New York every year and i never get tired of it. I️ hope to move back in 2017. Florida is overrated - don’t move here if you’re coming from New England states because trust me, the trade offs are not worth it! Take it from someone who’s been here for 10 years.
Brandon Ramirez +1 I moved from NJ to South Florida. I hated it. Went back.
There is something about NJ/NY that if you live there.... you cant live anywhere else
Damn bro, you hating on Miami too much on every video , may be because you can't fit in to the fly life of Miami. You don't like, it get your ass out of here and live amongst the rats and bed bug. Don't discourage everybody because you couldn't make it i Miami.
Tony Kifle i couldn’t make it in Miami? I’ve made the most money in Miami than i ever could in any other city. The people here are lazy bums that don’t have real jobs and i can’t wait to live in my beautiful city of New York.
Good luck with extremely high rent , rats and bed bugs. I used to live in Harlem, 139th and Lenox . Used own a clothing boutique in Harlem , I love the grimey part of NewYork but there is nothing like Miami. You should be grateful you made the most money in Miami. If you don't like it, thats fine but don't spew hate on the city. There are dumb lazy people everywhere NY MIA LA
Tony Kifle nothing like Miami? You don’t travel much do you? People only come to Miami because it’s the cheapest alternative vacation spot to other places. You want to see something “unique” go to Santorini, Cancun, Panama, etc. Miami is nothing compared to those cities in every aspect from the beaches to the nightlife. Please.
2018 Jersey is ranked #1 for people leaving the state. Connecticut is ranked #3 I moved last year to Florida. Both states are finding way to raise taxes as we speak. Yes it can get hot but it never gets to -5 in Florida.
I moved to Fl from Jersey in 2014 and I love it here. I’ve been wanting to move here since I was 20. All I can say is that I should have done it years ago. I’ld probably be better off now. Anyways if you’re thinking about the move, stop thinking about it and do it. Especially if you have a profession! Florida is beautiful, so many places to go and things to do. Don’t worry about the hurricanes, they give you ample warnings and newer houses are built pretty strong.
Yes, the taxes in the North East & Jersey suck so, you said it correct.
daredevil7442 Floriduh sucks with its low wages and shitty weather. Most of Jersey is in the NYC metro, one of the most important areas in the world with endless things to do. Just accept that Floriduh is garbage and that the people that move there have a low GAF score.
Robert Fernadez: you can keep the cespool of that area. All you hear is noise. I prefer relaxation & quite. Yes weather is hot & humid in the summer but when you get older the cold hurts because of athritis. I live in southeastern Michigan & wish I could live in Florida during the winters. I prefer the gulf coast. South of Tampa.
BBBYpsi You would trade beautiful Michigan for a low wage bland hole like Floriduh? My low GAF score comment has been proven.
@@RFJersey - Geez, stay where you are and be happy. Florida doesn't need you, and it certainly doesn't want you. To each their own.
Bill Anthony I will stay in the most important metro area in America (NYC). I have no interest in moving to a low wage hole like Floriduh.
I just moved to Florida myself last week! Great video by the way!

Whatever
Lol
So proud of you young man. Enjoy your wonderful life here in Florida.
greetings from Rep of Ireland.great video its nice to see some one doing well in their life.please up loads more videos many thanks
all we Floridians ask from Northerners is that *they learn how to drive* and stop speeding and use their dang turn signals!
Thank you. 🙂
Preach
Nah here in Jersey we use our signals, whenever I go to Florida I notice none being used. It may be the New Yorkers
@@danielkahler5683 definitely New Yorkers
My brother I feel your pain. A lot of people do not know what it's like to live in New York City or the tri-state area I have a three bedroom house that cost 460000 I am actually thinking about moving to Florida also it's just the bugs and the heat I can't take
Congratulations on your move, I lived in N.Y, L.A, Now in Miami Florida in which I hate. Im headed further north to central fl in about a year. Cant wait. Im a fan of yours and I enjoy your channel. Its one of the coolest channels for car fanatics. Hoovies garage is great too. That's how I found you. Thanks for what you do. Its entertaining.
How was your move ?
@@pdb2k154 Im still stuck in Miami. I was hoping to be gone already but im trapped lol.
@@jayr5331 how come you haven’t left yet? Best of luck to ya man wherever you move to
@@pdb2k154 I am disabled with severe progressive multiple sclerosis. Life has been kicking my ass. But I will recover. Just staying positive. I totally dig your channel, and all of the things that you have accomplished. That is completely cool.
@@jayr5331 oh I’m not the real edp just a fan. Best of luck man I recommend North Carolina if you ever move . Nice place with less covid
I did the move from Cherry Hill nj. In 12/16. To Cocoa fl. Taxes in nj are mind blowing! To say the least. I have 2 vehicles, one I flew up and got the other I had carried down on a car carrier. I used a service called u ship. It's the eBay of shipping you can ship almost anything to anywhere. Give it a shot. I had my f150 brought down for $500.00.Your video was awesome dude!
Thanks!!
Thanks for the insight. You have a lot of good ideas. I will be watching for your progress on your 8900 AMG.
I agree with you 100%. I'm looking to retire & move.... A mansion in Florida is literally half price of what a piece of crap is where I live now.... and the taxes are night & day, to say the least.... I fully expect to be joining you in the next 35 months or so.... and, I look forward to the S500 videos.... Keep it up!
I'll be making plans right behind you bro. Commiefornia is just out of control. gov. Jerry Moonbean will be taxing cows for flatullating come January. You know poeple will be next.
Don't move to Florida. Charlotte NC is the place to be. Why live in a very hot swamp
Patrick Morrissey plus if you are of average intelligence up north you will be a genius in Florida
I live in NJ im moving to Jacksonville the end of the year and I cannot wait!
LADIEEACEINFIRSTPLACE Jacksonville can be a lil rough make sure you do your research.
Colorado Kingz everywhere good if you got money. The homeless are harmless. Stay out the hood areas not just Arlington Jacksonville is a huge city and IMO the most dangerous city in Florida. I'm a life long Floridian and I live less than an hour away from Jacksonville. Shootings and murders regularly and everything in between. But if you got money you might not see all that.
Starfish beach is very nice.
LADIEEACEINFIRSTPLACE how has Florida been?
I wouldn’t move to Jacksonville…
I live in communist NY and I want to move to Texas where the 2nd amendment still exists. Florida is cool too
Don't shoot yourself.

i like this Guy; You can tell he's a genuine, good guy. Content is great, obviously. Subscribed!
Wonderful watching this guy. Could watch people like him work on cars all day. Gives me inspiration and guts to work on my own car.
Hey Tavarish,
I’m fairly new to your channel. I jumped on around the time you bought the Lambo. I gotta tell you what you’ve done on that car, your creativity, resourcefulness, and problem solving is amazing. It really encourages those of us out here that maybe have doubts that we could properly get our respective projects done the way we’ve envisioned. So a big thanks and RESPECT goes out to you for tacking every single issue that comes up and sharing it with us. Your content is very valuable. I wish all the very best to you and your family and look forward to all your content. Even as you say”junk”. It all had value. Thank you!!
Moved from Jersey?congrats on you escape!
We are considering moving to Florida from Maryland, I'm done with snow lol. You had be sold at the lack of state inspections.
It’s not that bad in MD
Stay!!!
Moved here to florida from jersey back in 2012. Best thing I ever did
Florida native myself, glad you like the sunshine state. It ain’t perfect, but hearing outside folks like yourself saying you prefer it, makes us locals beam with pride! Yes I do get tired of the heat & bugs, but it’s worth it.
New Jersey State motto - "What's that smell?" That's why you moved to Florida.
You obviously haven't spent much time in Jersey.
@@malvolio01 there are lot of nicer and affordable areas I live in atlantic county and for 270k you can get a 2500 square foot house with a 1250 square foot basement and 2 car garege there is also casinos beaches and boardwalks near by
Born and raised in central Jersey, moved to Tampa Bay in '72.. way cheaper
I am a Jersey girl (currently in Texas) and my parents and my two aunts moved from New Jersey to Florida 2 years ago. They had to pay the exit tax when they sold their houses. There are hundreds of people in South Jersey that are turning the keys over to the bank and leaving, because they can no longer afford the property taxes. One of the biggest problems in NJ is that there are more people on welfare than tax payers. So the tax payers have been burdened with the extra load. I will be moving to Florida in a couple months, and I already know several people in the area I am going. I have a lot of friends that I grew up with that moved there. I just hope we don't sink the peninsula with all the people from NJ! LOL
Why I would not vote for politicians who advocates for higher taxes
If you get a chance, give us an update
Heather Eldridge sounds like NY
Every state has its pluses and minuses. I'm in Dallas and, for the most part, I love it here ... despite the summer heat!
Compared to the rest of Texas, our big cities are quite liberal and Democrat.
Unfortunately, a lot of people are moving here (especially from CA), so houses are skyrocketing in value, along with property taxes.
You can move to PA without the crazy heat of FL and still have a nice property.
I was asking myself the same exact thing... Why in the hell did I move from Edison NJ, where I was born and raised, to hot ass south Florida? Ughhh I wanna go back home
Remedy VR-4 please go!
I sometimes think this too but I can't afford to live in NJ anymore. I also can't stand the lack of services and expenses. I pay a quarter of the property taxes (but my HOA fees seem to increase it to a third) I also live 7 miles from the beach and within an hour of Fort Lauderdale and Miami. You can't survive in NJ anymore if you want to own a home, if you want live and rent maybe. I go back to NYC and NJ constantly and don't hate it but just find myself asking why I stayed so long. Be retired but still work the same job is amassing me some good money since we have no income tax. Much better quality of life and living. I miss my friends and family though and that's why I go back otherwise the hell with NJ and NYC.
From the title I thought you were going to say it was a nightmare 😹
I lived on Long Island ny all my life to soon realize I would never own any thing and moved to Jacksonville Florida myself
How do you like it ? I currently live on long island and want to move down south of florida like fort Lauderdale area
I live in Queens and I can't wait to move to Florida.
I wanna move to Florida as well but I'll miss Queens all my friends and family 😔
@@SueLall1008 DON'T MOVE HERE. Pick somewhere else pleeeeeeease. Fla is trash
Dude, you made a great choice. Low taxes is huge!! I live in illinois and the taxes are nuts here too. I looked at 2 homes that were around 185000.00 one in illinois and the other in Indiana. The property tax in illinois was in the 5 to 6000.00 a year range and the same cost house in Indiana was about 1500.00 a year!!! Holy cow!!! I’m hearing a lot of talk ( on the radio) about they are trying to lower our property taxes in this state due to the fact that people are moving out like crazy. My family has been in this area since the 1700’s. I’d prefer not to move but it almost don’t make sense to stay except we have 4 grown kids in the area. My wife isn’t on board with the idea, I’ll have to keep working this plan.
👍 Cool video . I hear you about " burn out " - it's not worth it. Glad you are happy you moved . I lived in Stuart and got the humidity horror blues and came back to CA .
Thanks for the video bro. I was living in NY and now I am living in NJ working in NY but I am so sick and tired of NY and NJ and I really want to move to Florida where I have relatives and the life is easier. The only thing preventing me from leaving is my job. Any advise?
Did you try looking up jobs in the area you want to move to? That would be step 1. Then call the company and set up an interview. If you get it, you're all set.
I live in CT so I know 1st hand about high taxes and cost of living. It's a beautiful state but being made unaffordable by the liberals and democracts in power. It also a sanctuary state.
I've already sold my over taxed 70 year old house and packing up for FL.
I'm a CT native and currently suffering with the flu.. I've always hated the winters here.. the taxes are ridiculous. I need to move!
Archie Darcy ditto i love in CT & l have been wanting to move to FL!
Good for you , you made the right move.
hey victor good thing you move to florida ,I love florida so much that I been here all my life ,and also live in paradise [ florida keys] ,fishing is awesome and you can go swimming here to up late November , welcome to florida and enjoy the weather
late november?? i have gone swimming way up north in fl at daytona beach in january and the water was tolerable. the currents/gulf stream must have been close to shore at the time because it would normally be chilly that time of year up there. but miami and the keys i would expect year round swimming.
Sir, you are awesome and everything we were missing since we moved here. Welcoming and kind. :) Thanks for cheering me up. We got a whole not of unwelcoming, mean farmboy nonsense. lol We've lived in other states and they were all nice. I guess there are more Aholes here then in NJ (for sure) but hopefully we will outnumber them or because they were not as nice as you.
I moved to Florida with my parents by in 95 from New York and now in 2018 price have doubled in price so now I found it cheaper to live north of Atlanta Georgia.
Chicago to Florida in 2011. Wife is a beach girl so I'm a Realtor on the gulf coast. Weather is awesome. Hot in the summer but you get used to it. Winter is wonderful. Ride a motorcycle or drive a sports car most of the year. No state income tax. Property taxes are low. State's budget is balanced. Compare that to Illinois or NJ. LOL Great channel!
Florida is a very low paying state. Florida is a place to retire, not to make a living.
Appreciate the tour felt like I was right there.
Wow 3000 on taxes for under an acre glad I live on 20 acres in the mountains of North Alabama for 1.34 per acre a year and way less neighbors and govt oversight. Yet one more reason not to live in Florida.
@D Z dude look up lake guntersville and there's no bullshit traffic and tourists and high prices. I own a harley theres plenty to do moron
Two words describe why anyone should leave New Jersey: Phil Murphy.
My brother and his wife did the EXACT same thing... from Manhattan to "New Tampa", Florida.... lower taxes, the sale of their condo on 153/Broadway paid for the house, cash... has a Florida room, pool.. 4 bedrooms... perfect neighborhood... Publix Food Stores.... and zero crime.... Good choice, Sir!... Scott in Cleburne, Tx
