I've resided in Sarasota Florida since June of 2010. I am originally from New Jersey where I had been employed as a concrete mixer operator. It was a Union position that paid incredibly well - and then work started to dwindle until I was unable to maintain the position.
I took what little money I saved - in addition to what I ultimately inherited following the passing of my mother in 2009, and moved here to the Sunshine State to purchase my first home.
After hurricane Irma, last year, I'm seriously considering selling the place and moving to a more "disaster free" zone as I was lucky to have sustained no damage whatsoever. I am also considering downsizing to something much more manageable that what I currently have.
