The national average salary is 41,673.83.

for miami-dade it is $43605.

a 2 second google search pulled this up.

$65,000 is well beyond that.

just because your friend zone (or if you have no friends, your parents or immediate family) consists of yuppies and artsty city-dwellers who look down upon everyone else and view their higher than average income as "standard" does not make it the norm.

Um, #1, I'm a student, so my friends are not yuppie city-dwellers. #2, my mom is a widowed preschool teacher in Miami and makes like $30,000 a year. So I don't who is looking down on anyone. And my comment was basically saying that in comparison to households pulling in six-figures, there are more professions where a $65,000 salary isn't impossible and doesn't require a PhD. I also said it was a standard salary for skilled positions a couple levels beyond entry level, not the standard for everyone. Basically, you don't need to be a yuppie smarty pants, to make $65,000 a year. That's a typical middle class income. If anything, your stats show a disappearing middle class (the median income is a better stat to demonstrate what people typically make).

to answer your question, op, yes it will go far. period.

Perhaps it is better that the Miami lovers do not know the secret that even a little lake town can be better than that overinflated area.

You can thank our wonderful Governor for that "PRICK SCOTT".
