Where does the Insanity Stop?? I mean REALLY???!!! - another 17-20%
I am in shock…..my poor parents……I guess a HUGE number of “Retirees” on “fixed” incomes are feeling the same way, as "many" retirees come to Florida to enjoy the next phase of their life....
..........of course there are full time residents that have been here their 'whole' life, & retired to stay here in the Sunshine State.
 
What if you woke up one day & your mortgage payment went up 28%….or let’s just say $700+ per month…. & it wasn’t because of the mortgage which is “fixed” like your income for the next 15, 30-40 years? It was your  “escrow” items that do make up your monthly payment (in this case insurance) Yes, insurance went up approximately 27% with about 1% increase in property taxes.............(my parents do have Homestead for both)
 
What if your salary had not gone up 28% & in fact it was “fixed” for the rest of your life, because you were retired (twice)??  (because you couldn't afford to retire with the 1st income)
 
What if most of your state had a majority of people on “fixed” income, or even yet “unemployed” or corporate cutbacks??
 
What if the property values had not gone up 28%…………..
 
What if ... more
