how close can i live to the beach without having to pay high insurance?
Question : how close can i live to the beach without having to pay high insurance?
I have always thought about moving close to the beach sometime within my life. I dont have to worry about college money anymore b/c the National Guard gave me a $ 72,000 scholarship to any supporting college nationwide. what isnt used out of that is mine to keep and i will also be getting about 7 to 8 thousand in a few months then another 7 to 8 thousand in 3 years. I also work with my dad who is a general foreman for a company contracted with Duke Power on the east coast making $ 10 an hour and getting paid weekly $ 300 until this summer when i go to my AIT training where I will accumulate another estimate of about 3,4,maybe 5 thousand more. so I will already have PLENTY of money to use at only 20 years old. I hope to get a good paying job in the technical field..perhaps avionics b/c im an apache attack helicopter mechanic in the SCArmy National Guard (awaiting AIT this june). so my question is how far can that much get me? I DO NOT WANT A BEACH FRONT HOME!!!!!! I just want something maybe a mile or so away…far enough to where i dont have to pay insanely ridiculous prices for homeowners insurance, property taxes/insurance, and all that. I have been trying to cunduct research of different areas of florida and south carolina but have had no luck as i really dont understand how the reality business works. that will hurt me tons!!! so i come and humbly ask for advice….and whatever you do…………………PLZ DONT CRITICIZE ME FOR BRAGGING ABOUT MY MONEY OR GET PISSED OFF!! I JOINED THE ARMY AND TOOK ADVANTAGE OF ALL OF THEIR BENEFITS THAT I COULD GET MY HANDS ON!!! YOU CAN DO IT TOO!!!!!!!

on the main land–NOT FL or LA but maybe San DIego
Mr. C. and you deserve that respect, I would advise you NOT to live on a barrier island. Next call should be to an insurance agent about that very question, they are going to know your area and be able to advise you the best. But I can tell you from experience – oceanfront living is awesome! To see the sun rise each day over water is mag! I love Cape Canaveral in Florida, there is a resort there called Cape Carib. We watched many a sunrise and many shuttle launches from our balcony. Even stay when a hurricane went by… Of course it was only a timeshare.
Sorry off target, don’t worry what others think, you do what you can afford and make sure to save for your future too. Thanks for doing the work you do.
