All right this is my first post ever on this forum and don't know how to start but here I go; I used to live in Orlando but couldn't live there because it was so boring in there, then I moved to West Palm. I stayed 2 months there and decided to make a trip to North. I also lived in Upstate New York for awhile and wanted to try to live there again. Anyway in my trip I visited five different states and liked the Virginia better. So I rented a house in Arlington, VA and hauled all my stuff and car. I had to drive a big uhaul truck and pull my car, it was rough but I made it. Everything was fine until last week, I realized that my expenses went up and my income went down in here. And If you ask me how is my life in here? it's not even average, I'm living in a crappy town house and paying $2400 rent. When I was in Florida I used to live in a single family house and I even had a pool. and I was only paying $1500 mortgage. Everything is expensive in here, and you just don't get what you pay actually. Roads are bumpy, air is grey, everybody is in some rush.They don't even know what they are doing in a usual day. They have to drive at least two hours to get their home. Anyway I don't wanna take your time with reading my novel, so basically I want to move back but its been a while and don't know where should be the best place for me and my family. I've been thinking about Miami for a long time and right now I can see the homes are cheap down there. My friend told me to go to Naples but I have never been there before and don't know if its a good place or not. It seems nice from the pictures though. Anyway thank you very much for your time and thanks in advance for your replies.

It will almost solely depend on how you make your living. Can you transfer with your current employer? Or maybe have a job lined up?

Well right now I'm doing some export business in here and its my own business, so I can move whenever or where ever I want. Like I mentioned my income went so down in here cause of my expenses and If I move to FL back I'll do something different though.

What are you looking for? Florida is very diverse! Pictures don't tell the whole story. I don't know how Orlando could be boring but...that's just me. What lights your fire? Start there.
