Im planning to stay in Miami, st. Petersburg, orlando and fort myers. I want to make some excursions, be able to walk around exploring, and spend some days at the beach. I know the heat as i have lived in Southern Spain, but i know that when it gets that hot, you might just want to stay inside close to the AC. This would not be good for my plans...

Called a place off 163rd. Guy quoted me almost 14k for the most basic package they had. For my dad.

I actually laughed, then I almost cried in the parking lot. He was a simple man, he'd have hated the fuss. I just need affordable funeral services around North Miami Beach that won't put me in a hole for three years. Somebody give me the honest spots. Begging here.

If so, did you agree to pay the extra monthly fee?

Hi, I got a new job, and the company is based in Miami. My wife and I will be moving there soon. My question is, how inconvenient is it to live in Miami without being able to drive? (My wife has epilepsy, so she can't drive.) Are there any other cities in Florida with good public transportation, in case they give me the option to live elsewhere within the state?

PS I do have a car, was asking mostly for my wife

So I’m really stumped on this. I live in Florida and recently started a full time job after graduating in May from university. Last August we decided to replace my old car and get a new one, and due to my parents having an almost perfect credit score, my mom financed the car in her name. So far this has worked out great, I pay for both Florida insurance and the car payments, which we got at a great rate of $400 a month and 4.5% interest. I got my drivers license and went to register my car, I was originally told at the tax collectors office that I just needed a power of attorney to register the car for my mom in Florida, but when I went in with this signed formed, they told me the car could not be registered in Florida since my mother and father are both Ohio residents, and do not live in Florida.

I’m trying to figure out what to do but there’s not much I can think of. The car is insured in Florida but needs to be registered in Ohio, which sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. Their only solution was to either:

A. By the car outright and transfer the title to my name (there’s 3 years left of payments, so that’s not financially plausible right now).

B. Refinance the car in my name with my local credit union. I went and asked them, and despite getting $61,000 a year with a 765 FICO score they told me I would only get a 9% interest rate with double the monthly payments. Great, I can’t afford that, paying $300 in car insurance is rough enough as is.

Does anyone know what I can do in this situation?

Is there a legit poll for the republicans?

Like where Byron/Fishback/Renner stand.

I dislike one of the three but don’t know who the most popular alternative is.

Hello! I'm a teen and don't really understand too much about politics, but I want to start learning considering there is going to be an election in Florida soon and I'd like know what people are voting for in Florida. Mainly I want to know about how to learn about candidates, their policies, and if they're popular amongst Floridians. Any other info will also be appreciated!

Hey! I applied for a serving position at the Knife and Spoon at the Ritz in Orlando. Does anybody work there?? How do you like it? What’s the hardest part?

We are wanting to spend some of the winter in Florida. We are looking for a mobile home community that has activities so we don’t have to entertain ourselves. So, can you recommend places in central Florida, north of Orlando (we like Ocala) that rents a furnished home for 6-8 weeks.

Best Hunters creek (or surrounding area) apartments.

Would love to hear y’all’s recommendations…

Subject line says it all. I moved back to Florida in March of 2022.

Since March of 2022, I have been in the middle of 4 high speed police chases. One that ended on an exit ramp of 95, 5 feet from my rear bumper with gunshots. For reference, 2 have been in Broward County, 1 in Dade and 1 in Collier/West Broward…

I am curious if anyone else has had similar experiences. It genuinely seems like a lot in 4 years…

Hi everyone!

We're a family of five (2 adults + 3 kids, who will be 5, 8 and 11) from Sweden planning our first Florida trip around Easter 2027 (10–12 nights). We'd love to hear your recommendations from people who know the area!

Our rough plan is to split the trip between the Gulf Coast and the Miami area. We'd love a mix of beautiful beaches, relaxing days, sports, and fun experiences for the kids.

A few questions:

Which beaches are absolute must-visits? (Clearwater, Siesta Key, Anna Maria Island, Hollywood Beach, others?)

Where would you stay on the Gulf Coast if you were traveling with kids?

We will not stay at miami beach, would Hollywood Beach or somewhere else be a better base?

We definitely want to attend a Miami Heat game (Pelle Larsson!!!!). Any tips for buying tickets, parking, getting to and from the arena, where to sit with kids, or anything first-timers should know?

Any attractions or experiences that are genuinely worth it for families? (Airboat tours, Everglades, dolphin tours, Kennedy Space Center, etc.)

Best places to see wildlife?

Any restaurants we shouldn't miss?

Things tourists often overlook or wish they had known before visiting?

Any areas we should avoid?

Any money-saving tips?

We'll have a rental car for the whole trip, so driving between destinations isn't a problem.

We're hoping for a trip that's a good mix of amazing beaches, good food, wildlife, basketball (maybe ice hockey too), and memorable family experiences.

Thanks so much! We'd love to hear what you'd do if this were your own family vacation.

Hi everyone. My husband recently received a job offer in Stuart, and we’re really torn on what to do.

The pay isn’t amazing, but with both of our incomes we should be able to make it work, especially since he’ll be eligible for a pay increase after completing his training. The problem is housing.

We’re coming from Texas, where we’re currently paying about $1,300 base rent for a 775 sq. ft. one-bedroom apartment in a safe, well-maintained community. We knew Florida would be more expensive, but we honestly didn’t expect it to be this difficult.

We’ve searched everywhere we can think of: Stuart, Port St. Lucie, Palm City, Hobe Sound, Jensen Beach, Fort Pierce, and even parts of the West Palm Beach area. We’ve looked on Apartments.com, Zillow, Redfin, Google, and pretty much every apartment website we can find. We’ve also started looking at condos/homes for rent on FB Marketplace.

The issue is that everything in our budget seems to fall into one of these categories:

• Around $1,600+ for a tiny one-bedroom/studio
• Places that look very outdated or in neighborhoods we’re unsure about.
• Really terrible/scary reviews
• Or they’re simply unavailable unless you’re 55+

My husband will likely be working a lot of overtime, so I’ll be home alone most of the time. Safety is a huge priority for us, especially since I don’t know the area.

We’re starting to wonder if we’re just searching the wrong way. Are there local property management companies, apartment locators, condo rental agencies, Facebook groups, or other resources that locals use that don’t always show up on Zillow or Apartments.com?

This would be our first out-of-state move, and honestly we’re feeling overwhelmed. My husband has been looking for work for almost a year, so this is the first solid opportunity he’s received in a long time. At the same time, the company doesn’t offer relocation assistance, a sign-on bonus, or temporary housing, so we’re trying to figure out if this move is financially realistic or if we’re setting ourselves up for more stress.

If you were in our shoes, what would you do? Are there any areas we should be looking at that are safe and a little more affordable? Or is this just the reality of the housing market around Stuart?

I’d really appreciate any advice from people who know the area.

Hello, I'm 18, trying to find a job to save money for college, I've been looking around and all of the entry level work (specifically warehousing, retailing, and fast food) has been around $14.00/hr-16.00/hr, which isn't enough to allow me to save for a good state college as I'll only make a net income of at most $33k a year. What jobs do you guys recommend me to start out in?

Be honest… if booking vacations could become a side income, would you try it or pass? 🌴

From what I can tell the housing market in rural, urban, and suburban areas is imploding. How is this impacting the local economies?

I currently live in Chicago and am looking to move to Orlando in January. I’m not sure the best area to live, but I want to move some place warmer than Chicago. I make 75k remotely with upward career momentum and will be 32yo with over 50k in savings to give perspective. I’m also a single man looking for a relationship. Do you think Orlando is a good fit?

Our hotel in Orlando had to let go of the previous cleaning company because they kept missing shifts and the quality was getting worse. Now we’re looking for a reliable new crew.

We need someone who can handle daily room cleaning for a 60-room property, plus common areas, with consistent staff and good communication.

Any recommendations for solid cleaning companies in the area?

Edit: We’re going with Clean Space.

We are looking to move to SW FL next summer. We are empty nesters so I’m not looking for a school system. My husband is a ASE master tech and has had several different job offers so I don’t think finding employment would be too hard for him and I’ve been in dentistry for over 25 years and can work remote so we aren’t too worried about jobs. My in-laws live in Naples and we would like to be within 2-3 hours of them. I’m going to be bringing my dad with me so we will be looking for a house with a guest house/MIL wing. We have about 200k savings to help with the move but my question is where? I’ve seen so many post discouraging people to move down there but it’s gotta be better than Memphis lol. We’re in out 40s but still like to live a little. Is it dreaming to think we can find a house that we want for 500-600k? We’ve never left Memphis born and raised so I need all the advice.

I’m moving to south florida for a couple of years for school. Coming from Vermont, so I don’t start wearing warm stuff till it’s maybe 45 degrees. I am only moving with my car so trying to be selective with what I’m bringing. I’m struggling to gauge how many warm pieces I need. I get that it gets below 60 degrees there once in a while but I’m wondering how often? When yall get cold fronts is it usually just a day or 2? Does it ever get to 30 degrees for more than a day? I’m planning on leaving all puffy jackets and heavy sweaters in storage. Please give me advise

Visiting sarasota/ bradenton for a week and wondering where I can get my hands on some

How high are your bills this year? Mine have gone up an average monthly payment of $50.00, month over month. How about you?
