It certainly makes sense to research the cost of living before making a commitment

however the cost of a utility bill and maid service is chump change compared to everything else that you should be budgeting for

BTW...don't forget to throw in a nice chunk of change on the line item 'contingency' regardless of whether you go new or pre-owned...you'll be glad you did
