Review of Miami, Florida


Miami way to high the price you may pay for living
Star Rating - 2/15/2015
Miami, or just any city from West Palm Beach all the way to Key Largo is expensive.

1. if you want to rent, prices are super higher, like if you want to live near downtown Miami, you are looking around $ 3000.00/monthly. If your budget is tight you must move all the way to Homestead where you can rent 2/2 for $950.00

2. Don't forget the tolls (all over Miami) if you live in Homestead and work in Miami, the commute isn't 25 mins... (I wish) is more like an hour and half almost two hours depending how early you leave, accidents, etc. (toll average ($120/month).

3. Auto Insurance, one of the most expensive cities. One full cover could ho up to $ 220 per 1 car.
Accidents on the freeway... 10every hour. People drive like crazy.

Groceries, well expensive compared to other cities.

And the rest well it mostly depends where you live, but a job for starters, let's say Walgreens $8/hr, or less.

English language almost none, everyone speaks spanish, too many Hispanics, not that botherbother me, but is tough place to rise a family if you are not wealthy.

If 65% goes on your place, 20% in your car insurance, gasoline, sunpass. 15 % in bills like cable, internet,phones, energy... left is only food, no time or.money for entertainment...Think about coming to Miami, is not worthy.

Thanks you for your comments! How much would you say someone would have to earn for a 2 member household, to have a good living and being able to save some money? Thanks!
