Most of the web design jobs start around 40 - 60k and I think it would be a nice change from the Southwest Florida area.
Thanks in advance.  |
Yes, you can be alright. You can easily rent a decent 1 bedroom apt for under 1k a month. Food is pretty cheap in supermarkets, going out to eat is just like anywhere else, good places are very expensive, other places arent. Gas prices are high and you can do a lot of driving there.
If you live directly in south beach, in a luxury building, its expensive. Anything else is south beach is pure ghetto. If you go north a little bit. You will be better off, and can live fine.
