Yes we are looking. Sad we are even looking to move to a state with lower cost of living just so we can live a little more comfortably. Ma is becoming a state that you just can’t make it anymore. We make usually $80000 a year and live pay check to pay check. We rent hoping and praying it doesn’t go up and we are on the street. There is no middle class anymore and you can’t survive in Ma anymore. Anyone know a good state for truckers with low cost of living but good paying transportation jobs?

According to the source below, Mississippi - but Mississippi ranks lowest on most things like education, healthcare, recycling, etc.

If you can get a no downpayment financing through HUD or FHA that will protect you from rent increases but unfortunately home repairs can be expensive and real estate taxes go up.
