Lol in the house yes, not outside. Lol
I had a friend in Florida and he would call or email telling me that it was 10:00p.m. 90° and 90% humidity. Sometimes I would let him know it was 68° 0% humidity. Only if I was feeling bratty. Lol

I'd get use to it. Was in NYC for a 2 weeks and got use to it. There's ac in the house.

E in Long BeachSent from my iPad MiniBe Happy!Tony, you're in CA? Small houses go for around the same price here in the Sacramento area, depending where you look. Premium gas, right now, $4.25 at our local Chevron. Jobs I see here run anywhere from $8 an hour (min wage) to $14 an hour depending on if its a secretaries job or an admin assistant. I can't believe everything they want you to know to make those wages. A normal secretary that files, answers email and answers the phone has to be pretty proficient in M$ Office. Heck, I can use Outlook and Word but I'm not able to do things like set up reminders in Outlook or schedule a meeting and invite people from contacts to a meeting to setting up a poll.We're very lucky to live in an area that uses SMUD (Sacramento Municipal Utility District) we pay much less than those in the PG&E areas. We do have PG&E for gas but that's only stove. Water heater is electric, as is washer/dryer and AC/heating.At some point, we would like to retire out of CA. So far, Florida seems a good place. Parts of Florida have weather like we're use to but I don't know the state well enough to know where it's less likely to have hurricanes. I like the Keyes but only for vacationing. The winter weather there is iffy.\\ /\ Alice.( ). Sent from my iPad miniWow, interesting. Seems we pay much more dollarwise now. When I was first in the US in 02, I asked a few, they seemed then that a 40k salary here would equate to about 35k in the US. Not so now, by these figures.
Teacher here may start around 50k I'd say. Houses $300,000 for a low end, 350,000 to 400,000 normally. My electric is $150, small car the same, TV/Internet/Phone the same

Minimum wage is decided by states here and lowest is $5.15, Wyoming, and most states use $7.35, some higher.
Office worker with no qualifications might be a bit more, maybe not.
There are a lot of internships with no pay at all and companies go from free intern to free intern. The poor interns hope for a job at the end of the free period, but that's not happening much any more.
Teachers here earn about $35,000 to start and people can buy a nice house for $150,000 in Florida, gas about $3.50 a U.S. gallon. Can buy a small new car for $17,000. Monthly electric here $280 a month, TV/Internet/home phone $170 a month.
Sick days depend on companies. Some get them, some don't.
Vacation starts at one week, then two weeks. Again. Florida.
Maybe half a dozen public holidays.

Ok, lets test.
The minimum legal adult wage here is $13-75 per hour.
An office worker with no qualifications might get $16 per hour
I think the average wage here is $50000 pa which is $24 per hour
We get 5 sick days (although I get 10 ) and we get 4 weeks holiday, not including public holidays, of which there are 11 per year
