Jeez Steve. You sure you didn't omit a zero on those Florida taxes? We left Florida (Tampa 'burbs) in 2006 and our property taxes were @ $7800.00. Add to that, homeowners insurance (super high because of the hurricane risk) and high (compared to now) car insurance and you could support a family of four in Mississippi. Oh, and I forgot about HOA fees which were another 2400/yr......BUT, the weather was nice smile.
