Tough times for some areas of the country could be a blessing in disguise! Bailing out of an area that is expensive may be a good thing.

Think about it..the need to work two jobs a piece in a couple to make ends meet if you are in a high overhead area is bad. Damage caused from missing parents with kids needing them growing up in these areas on their own might make a case all by itself for a move to lower cost, higher quality of living area.  Maine offers community, local, friendly and you can get by with one job due to lower cost real estate, insurance...everything but gas. Heat with wood! 91% of Maine is wooded!

      Life is a constant education. Maybe turning the wagon around and hi tailing it out of an expensive, high traffic, higher crime area replacing the surroundings with clean, lower populated area is what a palm reader would tell you you should do. So Red Rover Red Rover, send California right over! Get more for less and live a sane life in Maine!  Maine...the way life should be! For example, could you be happy living in this home below that is priced at $24,900.  Go ahead and rub your eyes...the price tag is $24,900. Vinyl sided, new metal roof, immediate occupancy! Low cost living with outdoor beauty and friendly people that all help each other in every way! That's Maine..the way life should be!
