The wages are less. But there's no state income tax. In my case. Living in Philly. I pay the state tax. Plus a 3.98 percent city wage tax. So, if you make, say 50 grand a year. That's +\- 2k lost in city taxes alone.

So there's some advantages to FL living.

As for FL winter weather. Wintertime weather in Florida Orlando and south seems nice and warm during the day to people coming from 30 degree and weather from up north.

As you live down there. Your body adjusts. And I heard, your blood actually gets thinner. Not sure if that's true, but whatever.
