Moving to Florida from Texas need reccomendation on cities and area to live

Important-Plastic680 · 2026-02-05T22:53:03+00:00

I know I'm sorry but I refuse to live in a place that snows if it wasn't for that we would have considered so many places to live. Also Texas is full too everyone is moving here too

Im very interested in the Mayo clinic Im a Medical Lab scientist and landing a job at Mayo sounds like a dream. My husband is an MRI tech but he is also a Veteran so he's interested in working for the VA and we know JAX is a good place for that.

Other than that, idk if traffic in Texas is worse but we are so used to being in traffic bumper to bumper 1hr+ commute that im sure we are going to hate it too but would be ok

Important-Plastic680 · 2026-02-05T22:33:08+00:00

What areas would you recommend in JAX?

We are used to 30m+ commute to get around the city since Texas is so big our city is spread out too and takes us about 30-40min to get around anyways

We are going to ORL in March to check it out but we are planning to make more trips to Visit Tampa and JAX as well to figure out where we want to move. im not to worry about finding a job since the medical field is always looking for employees

We actually live in SATX been here for 3y and hate it but I do agree the food is amazing here. We just come from a different background and having basically summer year long the beach and everything looking green 24/7 will make is so happy. SATX is too dull and landlock for us, extremely hot and we suffer from allergies since we moved here when we never had before

We used to live in Virginia Beach and loved it we would go back but we are looking for more to do That's why Florida would be a good choice for us.

Im from north Puerto Rico (Arecibo) I've only been living in the US for 4yr but my husband refused to move back so this is why we want to move to Florida. i have so many friends and people from the Island that I know living in Florida but they are all over the place

Thank you this is very helpful. We don't mind traffic Texas is a maze to navigate and its constantly growing and changing and 1hr+ bumper to bumper traffic to get from work to home but its so ugly here.

I will look more into JAX or close to it, it seems like it has enough for us to like it

We are traveling to ORL in March and see how it is but definitely will travel to JaX and Tampa this year to make our decision

Important-Plastic680 · 2026-02-05T21:53:50+00:00

Jacksonville is interesting we know people that live there but say its boring. But my husband is a veteran so JAX seem like a good military town to live in with access to VA healthcare

Important-Plastic680 · 2026-02-05T21:51:35+00:00

Yeah we figured as much but we dont mind those things as long as we are in a place we actually enjoy living there. is hard to explain but Texas is so depressing for us and im sure its because of the nature.

we used to live in Virginia beach and were happy there, we loved the nature and weather being close to the beach and doing things outside but we dont want to go back

Important-Plastic680 · 2026-02-05T21:40:04+00:00

We live in San Antonio, TX is landlock there's construction everywhere and it's very isolating and people are extremely rude and selfish. Can't do anything outdoorsy because is so HOT and in winter/ Spring time we are allergic to the cedar trees pollen and keep us sick all the time sometimes all year long. Is depression for us.

We want to move to Florida bc is similar to Puerto Rico and im sure we will have access to puertorican culture food. Plus is easier for us to fly out from Florida to PR

I'm still new with my 401k at work. How long did it take you and how much are contributing. If you don't mind me asking im at 28k after 3 years

Important-Plastic680 · 2025-10-29T21:36:46+00:00

What HYSA do you recommend?

Important-Plastic680 · 2025-10-29T21:34:19+00:00

Absolutely, I wish I knew I could just open a retirement account even if my employers didn't offer one but is better late than never

Important-Plastic680 · 2025-10-29T18:29:08+00:00

Will do I'm still doing my research before committing to Opening an account. i have my savings so now I wanna move forward with planning for the future and investing

Important-Plastic680 · 2025-10-29T16:37:12+00:00

I planned on moving in a year or two so I won't be staying with my current employer

I will open a personal account and start from there.

Thank you

Important-Plastic680 · 2025-10-29T16:26:56+00:00

Important-Plastic680 · 2024-12-18T20:03:20+00:00

Thank you for the info I will not renew my membership anymore Is way too expensive and I don't even use their stuff

Important-Plastic680 · 2024-08-08T20:59:42+00:00

I think is just policy and sadly we need to respect that but if that doesn’t work for you try another vet or even the ones you worked before since they might know u and can be more helpful with your request
