'It is a little expensive here': Florida ranks 2nd worst state in affordability [View all]
WE GOT 2ND PLACE!!! 
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — We've heard from many of you trying to budget your finances as the cost of living, insurance and many other factors have made it difficult to get by.
"Grocery prices, rent, you know, all that is getting higher, and they’re not paying any more," said Kwame Ratliff, who lives in West Palm Beach. "I am looking to move, because it is a little expensive here."
According to personal finance website WalletHub, Florida ranked Florida number 49, nearly dead last as the least affordable state.
"What should we do to kind of get that ranking up?" asked WPTV reporter Joel Lopez.
"Well for starters, maybe make the state a little more affordable," said Chip Lupo, a writer and analyst with WalletHub.
