Hi Everyone,

I'm moving to Florida (Ponte Vedra, Jacksonville) and I got a job offer around $50K. For those of you that live in that area, is this a good salary? My situation is simple: pay rent, car, utilites, etc.

Thanks!

That's $25.00 dollars an hour. I suspect that's more money than 90% of the people living in FL make.

You'll be fine.

So, basically you're saying you have a simple situation, yet you make double what most normal folks make, and you need anonymous strangers all with different financial needs to tell you what you probably already know. Seems like you're trying to "brag" with your new money. Call it like I see it.

$50k is good for Jax and FL for that matter. You'll be fine.

So harsh. Yes, $50,000 is plenty. I found that the cost of living wan't too bad in Jax. Drinks, going out isn't that expensive and we lived (barely) in Ponte Vedra in a one bedroom apartment for around $800/month.

Fresa remember it all depends on your situation. If you are single with no debts and no kids or family $50k will serve you well in most of Florida even Miami.
However ( I am channeling Suzie Orman!) save enough money in savings ( about 6 months in bills ) for the unexpected while you enjoy Florida.
Good luck!
