I just moved away from West Palm. I’ve lived in Rochester, chicago, West Palm and now Vegas. West palm is ok but definitly not my favorite of the 4 places i’ve lived. Traffic sucks, its expensive to live, and car insurance will murder you compared to NY haha. The weather is nice if you don’t mind excessive humidity and theres nice beaches. Unless you have a Donk theres not many good car clubs that I found. ---

hey thanks for the help guys. i think working for/getting experience with mosler will be worth the high cost/traffic. in the long run i will be better off. i think anyway. ---

I hate FL, and I am leaving here tomorrow. Honestly the experience is most likely not worth amount of debt you are going to get into. I hope you are making the $50k range, anything less then that you are going to be in a negative income bracket. West Palm is ok, more expensive than Tampa, less traffic but still a shit load. Not much to do unless you know people, your best bet would be to look into places where there are many young people living, but sadly West Palm is mostly old people. Good luck though… a large car forum that does track days once a month through out FL is [www.tamparacing.com](http://www.tamparacing.com) ---

There is a decent amount of stuff to do and yes its very expensive. Look towards the West Coast if you want great job opportunities and not too expensive living costs. My cousin just got a 2/2 1200sq foot apartment with an attached 2 car garage in a gated community right near my house for $1100 a month all utilities included. So far Vegas \> Florida for me. ---

as to West Palm Beach, same as everyone has said. Super expensive, its really nice in most spots, beaches are top notch. If you can get a nice job that pays 60+ I bet you will love it down there. Oh did I say everything is super expensive! From what I hear/seen… Western Florida = better beaches/higher costs Eastern Florida = younger people/lower costs in some parts(stay out of the cities) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/anybody-here-from-florida-lived-there-know-ppl-who-do/30404.md?page=2)
