I am totally disgusted.

We should have moved out of this damn state when we had the chance. I just saw on the news that our home owners insurance carrier is going to be raising premiums by 55%! We are with citizens (state insurance of last resort) because noone else will insure our home since its almost 50 years old. Besides, there aren't many insurance companies that will insure in Florida anyway.

So at 55% that means that our already high premium will go up to about 6k a year. I am choking. I don't know how we are going to do this, especially with the new baby coming. They keep sucking us dry and our salaries are not going up to accomodate this. I mean the money has to come from somewhere. So we have to sacrifice in other areas to pay for this bull shit. I think I am going to write to our newly elected governor (even though he is a republican), since one of his "promises" would be to help ease the insurance and property tax pressures. Not that I beleive that anything will actually be done. I hate that we have to live here. I really do. With my sis moving in now we can't leave even if we wanted to. For health reasons she HAS to stay in Florida. Ugh. Can my life get any more complicated?
