Amy, re: You must live in Florida too : ) Everything is relative. In California, salaries are high and housing costs are high. In Florida, salaries are low and housing costs are (relatively) low. But other costs in Florida and California are about the same; gas, food, insurance, autos, books for the kids for school, clothing, health care. So those other items are proportionally a much higher percentage of a Floridian's salary than a person in California. When they go up, it has a more significant impact. This from a good article in the St. Pete Times: But Florida has accumulated some striking distinctions. Just last week, the Tampa Bay area was deemed the least affordable metro area in the nation based on the cost of housing and getting around. The study by two nonprofit think tanks said bay area residents spend an average of 57.7 percent of household expenditures on housing and transportation. No. 2 in the survey: Miami. pqasb.pqarchiver.com I think you need to review your perspective. $2.75 for a gallon of gas isn't as significant an issue to a person earning $200K as it is to a school teacher earning $20K.
