Florida vs. Connecticut: A Mother's Shocking Cost of Living Comparison

Cost of Living Comparison: Connecticut vs. Florida A recent video by Ellie ✨ Lifestyle & Shopfinds (@reheatedcoffeeclub) highlights the stark differences in the cost of living between Connecticut and Florida, particularly for families. The author, a mother of three, emphasizes the significant expense of air conditioning in Florida due to prolonged periods of extreme heat, contrasting it with the relatively lower heating costs in Connecticut during winter. "Have you ever paid for air conditioning for months at a time to cool down your home during 100 to 115-degree days?" she asks, illustrating the point with her own experiences. The video also touches upon the cost of private school, which is considerably higher in Florida than in Connecticut, where public education is more affordable. Home insurance is another area of difference, with the author noting that flood insurance is often a necessity in Florida, adding to the overall cost. The video concludes by noting the additional expenses associated with hurricane season in Florida. While the video presents a personal perspective, it raises important questions about the financial realities of living in different parts of the United States.
