Hi everyone, i am that guy from Ireland that reached out to Sam, and he was brillant he email back with REAL answers to my questions. Great information for me and my family. Before Sam emailed me all i knew was that if i had a few million sitting in the bank i could move to florida and live!!!! I could not find a single site that was able to help a person from outside the US get real information on the costs to living. Thanks again Sam
Thanks for commenting here Dathan! I hope that everyone found this info useful!
I lived in tampa for 10 years having a car is a most. The bus system sucks and I agree with you have to make $65,000 yr due to you have to make 3 times for rental. And if you are like me a single mother of 2 teenagers and making $38,000 yr you are going to struggle
Boy when you said gas prices might increase a bit over the next few months... Little did you know... Hahahaha! Thanks for the video. Just got out of college and have an interview down there. Valuable info!
Very helpful, thanks!
This was a very helpful and informative video for me. I visited Tampa this month for surgery at the Norman Center, Memorial Hospital. I was there for 3 days and really liked Tampa a lot. I enjoyed the downtown area where I stayed especially. I hope to visit for a vacation next year and since I've retired would like to consider moving to the area. Thanks for a great video.
Absolutely GREAT info very clear and lot of details, happy to see the effort to put all these info. Trust in goodness is reinforced :). God bless you and family so that you can spread the cheer.
Thanks! Very informative videos.
Glad it was helpful!

I live in Tampa the Carrolwood village my apartment is $1400 a month. He is spot on I make $70,000 a year and I live very nice
Thanks for the real numbers.
Thank you Sam for the details and your honesty of explaining your own experience!
I might be moving to TPA for job transfer
I will certainly get in contact with you if I get the job
That is exciting! I look forward to speaking with you.
This is so informative, I recently discovered your channel and love hearing about living in Florida. We live in DC metropolitan area and are sometimes thinking of moving to Florida. I agree on the comment with Whole Foods. I myself eat very healthy and go to Whole Foods every week and shop mostly for sales/promotions being currently offered, and when I do that, prices are cheaper than my local grocery chain store.
Thanks for watching! I'm glad Whole Foods is working out for you too!
Very great video.
So helpful, ty! x
Happy to help!
Appreciate the information. Thank you.
Since I want to move to the Clearwater area. I was offered a $70,000 year salary.
Congrats!
Love your videos. Your very informative. We live in Nashville and it's getting really bad with cost of housing...450k to 1.3 for new houses. We're looking to move in 2.5 years. Hopefully the cost doesn't go up too much by then.
Thank you so much for watching! Only time will tell, we are seeing some crazy growth in the area.
Where in Colorado were you? I’m from Centennial and moving to Tampa in July. Thanks for these videos.
I lived in Co Springs 2010-2020
Thank you
Thanks for stopping by
Enjoy your video very much👍
Thanks for watching Hung!
Hello there! New subscriber here! I'm moving from Colo to Tampa in Aug! My job is transferring which makes my transition alot smoother!
I lived in Westchase in 2017 but moved back to Colo. I'm over the cold and snow and ready to make Tampa my home! 🙏
That's cool you moved from Colo as well so you know the houses here are overpriced. Thank you for all your helpful tips and videos!🙌😁
Omg I’m from west jade moved to Colorado in 2018 and considering moving back is this a sign??? Lol
Nice!!! What type of work do you do?
@@bambam6231973 Hey there. I work from home as a Field Sales Program Administrator helping techs get paid. Love it!
@@caladesimoon8137 Nice...any advice on getting in the field.
@@bambam6231973 I've been with them for 23 years so you would just have to apply to ADT Security on line. 😁
I have a house on Nebraska ave.. 300k for Floridains, 500k for new yorkers
No offense, but are you paying them that to take that house on Nebraska off your hands? 😆
@@LarryNathanielPhoto lol. They are New Yorkers they won't know any better
I would love to see an update on this video now (1 year after)
Thanks for watching! I actually do have an updated cost of living video on my channel. Here's a link.

Renting in st Pete. 2600 a month rent. 1100 sq foot home with 3 bedrooms and a garage. 110 a month for 1 gig internet. Not sure about other utilities yet. Me and BF make over 200k a year and it’s kinda expensive but manageable. No kids.
Food delivery from wholefoods for 500 a month. Y’all must be eating organic carbs only.
$65k. I was shocked…. Thought was to low.
What about health insurance. This is a must have?
68k is a lot to put down on a house but thanks for the numbers!
Yeah I get that. Just trying to be transparent with numbers so people can think through it!
It is too bad that Pinellas County lacks public transportation. I don't have a car and my mom will be living in Fort Myers and I want to be able to easily visit her by public transportation as opposed to taking Uber or Lyft
How much would you estimate for a single person in a 2-3 bedroom rental (bedroom + office + storage)?
My team and I don’t specialize in rentals unfortunately.
I’m thinking of moving to Tampa this year from NY. My job has an opening and I’m thinking of taking it. This scenario with 65k if for a family of 5, so I’m assuming that even to rent making 45k a year for a single person will be great and comfortable living. Whats your opinion?
Hey there! Thats awesome, if you'd like to discuss further feel free to reach out to me via email! info@livingintampa.com
Chiming in, I would not take it. You are making more and on the back end will pay off where you are. Moving here you will need a car, insurance, maintenance etc and living in the outskirts will be a big expense. With five kids you also you want to consider the schools districts.
I'm a native and have watched the waves over the years. Though it's not impossible think about what you may be giving up to come here financially and even culturally. Tampa is cool but to enjoy the postcard version of Tampa at least try and negotiate an equitable salary to what you make in NY. Best wishes!
Good info and budgeting advice but amount seems way low to me. To live comfortably in Tampa, $65K would be per person in a multi-income household. If you're single and want a house, plan to make over $100K. ...and that's if you can find a home under $300K, also assumes you don't have other debt to pay off.
Thanks for the input, it really depends on your lifestyle.
Absolutely. $65k is poverty money for a family of 5.
Is car insurance lower in certain cities than others in Florida?
It's primarily based on zip code. I did recent Q&A video going over this if you want to check it out!
Im n ny im interested in tampa in about 6 years..i have a cdl B ..hows trucking jobs their?
Most of the trucking jobs that I have heard about have been connected to Estes. They have a big space on the east side of Tampa

My son will do trade school in Tampa and we're in search for affordable rent, one or two bedroom. Can you recommend leasing agency? Thank you.
Sorry but I don't know of anything like that. I would recommend starting your search on Zillow. Contact one of the property management companies that has the listing on there and ask them for a recommendation.
I'll be moving to Florida from the Dominican Republic in June, I am a US citizen, in order to buy a house, my husband and I need to live and work for 2 years in Florida and pay rent, before getting our own? I've been living in the Dominican Republic for 12 years and have no idea of what to do prior to buying a house.
Hey there! Our lender, Tyler, was in a similar situation when moving here. I'd be happy to connect you with him if you'd like to hear more about the process from some one who has been through it himself. Feel free to reach out for his info!
Can I drive in Tampa with my international driver license issued in my country,Vietnam?
Yep! Your international driver's license is valid in any state in the USA for up to one year.
I will be calling you this week...
But when you say he needs to make 65k a year is that combined income or each have to make that?
I make 105k a year here in PA but my wife only makes 34k, and moving there I'll be taking a pay cut...
Hey Jr,
That was combined. With you and your wife’s income, you’ll have no problem with the affordability.
Looking forward to talking with you!
What school, high school is good in the area?
Brooks-DeBartolo Collegiate High School, Hillsborough High School, and Jefferson High School all have excellent ratings.
Plant High school
lets see
Pretty much double everything to live In Boston
Then move to Florida!
Get out of Boston.
Grew up here but can no longer afford to live here. The cost doubles every couple of years.
Thanks for watching. You are right, it is getting more expensive. Lots of people are moving here which is driving the price up.
@@LivinginTampa Thank you for making the video. I am a truck driver, new to it in the last year and a half, and so I have spent much of that time away. It was nice to see a newcomers view. As you can imagine, when one spends most of their life somewhere the local entertainment grows dull. It is refreshing to see my home town through new eyes! Be safe and keep up the great work!
You are grossly underestimating the cost. Housing alone is at least double that or even triple. Don’t move here if you make less than $100,000
This video is a year old. BUT you still don't need $100k
You put 20% down on your home purchase to avoid paying mortgage insurance
You look like Dax Shepard
Is that a good thing?
@@LivinginTampa yep 😁
If a illegal immigrant can live here in the USA then most people can,but u might live in the worst part of town or in a house with 10 other people 😂 (im a immgrant also )
How much a single male need to make
It depends on where you live within the area and your lifestyle.
Thank you !
