Got the car insurance quote for when I move out of South Florida to the Wilmington, NC area.
It's going from $300.00 month to $87.00 month!!
Florida is soooo screwed up. Costing more & more to live here every year.
@VictoriaLandis1: Wilmington's nice. My mom's side of the family is from there, all the way back to the late 1600s. All of them were coastal fisherfolk and farmers. My aunt and cousins live in Southport. I was up there a LOT when I was growing up.
I'm very much looking forward to the move. I've been in South Florida for 25 years, the last 6 in Key Largo. And while it SOUNDS exotic to live here, the truth is - it's not so great day-to-day. Beautiful and warm, yes, but only one road through town, soooo many tourists every day, and no Target, WalMart, Lowe's, or any other type of real store. We have a huge Publix, a Winn Dixie, and a Beall's Outlet. That's it.

Oh, and 3 Dollar Stores. A bunch of tiny, expensive 'boutiques', too. But we have really good restaurants, especially fish. No big chains, except for fast food.
