How to make enough to live in Miami

I mean seriously, how? For the research and people I know who live there, it seems the pay doesn’t match the lifestyle if you’re not doing some kind of dirt or porn.

How do the people who were born live here?

I’m from Chicago and love traveling down in Miami whenever I can because of how much I genuinely love the city and weather. I don’t much care for the crazy party lifestyle Miami has to offer.

I would love to move to Miami someday because of how much I really do love the city, culture and weather so I wanted to I guess get some insight and advice.

I’m a 25 year old male operating engineer for the city of Chicago making $115,000/yearly and wanted to see if there’s ANY opportunities down there for someone like me.

Any advice on where I could find a similar job or should I maybe think of switching careers entirely if I wish to move to Miami?

Any advice will help, thank you!
