Hey guys found this great blog and after playing on the calculator I realized just how inexpensive AZ really is compared to other states. After all we seem to focus on the high cost of gas but compared to other States I think I have a better perspective now. Great weather Great home prices and fantastic amenities, AZ really is the place to live...to find out more feel free to email me Jeanne Steiner

Moving To A New City? See How Much Your Cost Of Living Will Change.
It's a fact: It's more expensive to live in some cities than others. Beyond just the costs of buying a home, different cities also carry a different Cost of Living. For households relocating from Arizona and across state lines, the change in "life costs" can be jarring.
Depending on where you live, everyday expenses - from groceries to gasoline - make a different-sized dent in a household budget. And now you can see in numbers by how much your expenses might change.
Visit Bankrate.com's Cost of Living Comparison Calculator.
The Cost of Living Comparison calculator is as basic as it is thorough. The calculator asks just 3 questions - (1) Where do you live now, (2) To what city are you moving, and (3) What is your salary - and uses your answers to produce a detailed, 60-item cost comparison between the two towns.
The city-to-city cost comparisons include:
- Dry Cleaning Costs
- Total Energy Costs
- Beauty Salon Costs
- Movie Costs
- Dentist Visit Costs
The list also features a mortgage rate comparison, and a comparison of local home prices.
The Cost of Living calculator is based on data from the ACCRA. On the ACCRA website, a similar report sells for $5. At Bankrate.com, the information is free.
