The complaint down here in South Florida is that due to the high cost of buying/renting, we are going to get as bad as CA (typical home prices are currently between $280,000 to $400,000 on new homes in "regular" neighborhoods), and it is still rising. But, unfortunately, salaries are not rising at the same rate, which makes it difficult.
In my day job, I work 40 hrs and earn a little over $3000 per month. After you take out taxes, benefits, etc., I struggle to pay my $1000 per month home and my $425 car and everything else that goes with it.
So, I have a roommate right now and the income from my signing jobs. I hope to one day replace my day job with signing full time, as well as inspections and other sidelines that will together, earn me a decent living!
