Not anymore. This was always my plan, but the housing market is so out of control that we’re stuck in the Midwest.

By the time we can afford a down payment on a house near my family in southern maine the kids are going to be in like middle school and I’m not sure we’ll want to move them at that age.

Very true, Maine is by far the most expensive state I've lived in which includes California, Oregon, Alaska, and Washington. Both the rent and the food. It is certainly nice here, and I moved because there was opportunity in my field but the costs are obscene.

I live in the County and I found food and gas, propane cheaper than PA. I do use farm stands and buy in bulk when I can.
