Just getting back from another trip to FL and now I’m getting more serious about moving down.

My wife and I have been thinking about moving to Florida from Philadelphia for awhile now. My original plan was to wait until I “make it” in the fastlane, but I’ve come to the understanding that it may take years for this to happen. We just got back from a trip and finally asked ourselves the big question… why wait?

The only thing that’s holding us back is our parents. We really don’t want to be far from them, but Philly is only a short flight away. Right now we are thinking about moving down for a year just to see how we like it. And now is the time to do it since we don’t have kids or anything really holding us down, other than a few family members (parents).

I would need to leave my current job doing marketing for a tech company, but I’m completely fine with finding a new job. So, I guess that we would need to find an area with Jobs.

We have been in FL before for trips on both the gulf and east coasts. I loved the Clearwater area. But also loved it around Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale. Not a big fan of Miami though...

Does anyone have any suggestions about possible locations? We’d probably need to rent at first and get jobs.
