move to Key West
Sooner or later I'm moving to Key West!

My husband and I want to move to Key West so bad we can’t stand it!!! The problem – the price of housing!!!
We thought we found our solution – buy a trailer and pay lot rent but they won’t let us have our dogs!!!
AAAUUUGGGHHHH!
We gotta get our butts down to the keys – any inspiration or information would be appreciated greatly!!!

I hope you go too!

We are selling everything, and going to rent a house or duplex. If you look at housing it IS high but so are the “regular” type job wages so it evens out – kinda. We looked at doing the trailer with rent thing but have pets as well and then looked at buying but with the cost so high in addition to the taxes we aren’t sure its affordable for us. Try visiting www.keysnews.com Its the daily newspaper and you can view the classifieds. That should give you some sort of picture on housing and the job market. I hope you get to go too! We are so psyched and ready to go its not funny. Gotta have patience and sell some stuff so we don’t have as many payments and can afford higher housing.
Keep in touch. It would be nice to know how your journey progresses. Good luck to you!

Hey...THANKS!

My husband and I will be moving to Key West with what I feel is a comfortable head start. We paid off our house in Indiana last year, we are selling our Lawn Care business, and we have some savings. But we are used to having money, ya know, and we’re very afraid that moving to the Keys will take that security away. But, we know that in order to live in paradise there will be some give and take. We have five dogs and a cat, that will be a major obstacle for us. Like you, we will never budge on our animals – they are our children!!! We have thought about offering to pay the rent for the whole year in advance thinking someone will consider our pets that way…who knows? We are wanting to move within a couple of months, so hopefully we will be heading down by May. We wish you the best of LUCK!!! Let’s keep in touch maybe we can help each other along the way!!!

How's the move coming?

Hey!
How’s your move coming along? I saw where you put your timeline and it looks like it is ours too. We’ve been able to sell our house and working on the minor things now. Going down in 10 days to look for housing. Our actual move date is May 15th. Are you going to be there already? We have definitely got to get together. (By the way, I’m terrible at keeping in touch) It just seems that life takes over and I tend to be scatterbrained sometimes.
Have you figured out what you want to do for a career when you get down there? There are TONS of options in retail and hospitality. I’m torn on what I “really” want to do and what I’m qualified for. lol. It will all work out.
Anyway, I was just checking on ya.
Talk soon?
Mary
