While there are many states in the country where living isn’t too expensive, at least not yet, there are some where you need a beefy budget. One of those is Florida, of course, but more specifically, Miami. Not long ago, one Redditor went viral after asking if $900 would be a good budget to move to this city. As you can imagine, people started mocking them and telling them that the amount of money they were talking about isn’t enough.
Repulsive_Potato_227 is the Redditor who asked for advice regarding moving to Miami, Florida. They created a post on the city’s subreddit titled: “Looking to relocate to Miami in February or later – $900/month budget, pet-friendly options?”
Oddly enough, this post went viral as many people started talking about how low their budget was if they were planning to move to Miami.
On top of that, the OP provided even more details about what they would bring to the city, including one dog and two cats, and also mentioned they are looking for a private room or studio near South Beach. They even said they were open to putting up a tent somewhere, assuming it is legal and allowed.
In any case, this caught the wrong type of attention, as people, instead of giving actual advice, started mentioning how $900 isn’t remotely enough to live in Miami.
Florida Redditors Claim You Can’t Afford Anything with a $900 Budget in Miami
According to those who commented on the OP’s post, $900 isn’t enough to live in Miami, especially in some of the conditions the one who posted is asking for. Besides, they are moving in with pets, meaning that the cost will be even higher.
While some people decided to throw in a few fun remarks regarding the “ironic” budget, some were just plain with their answers.
“You’re not going to find anything here for 900. At all.“
“In this economy?“
Still, there were a few who gave better advice, as they were worried about the OP’s pets.
“For the love of God, do not move here if that’s your budget – ESPECIALLY if you have 3 pets with you. Please think of them. If you really want to move down here, look for another city that isn’t Miami.“
While the post went viral and brought in some fun remarks and opinions, many believe this illustrates a sad reality of Florida, where the cost of living is just too high right now, especially in Miami.
