But remember......and most forget this, wages are less in the South in general because the cost of living is also less. It is all relative.
Let's just look at property taxes and electric. Our house we are selling is 1500 sqft, two car garage, 3 bedroom, two full bath on almost 2 acres of land. It is also ALL electric, no other ulitity. Taxes $380 per year, electric $120 a month (year round, both heat & cool). Ok, lets throw in car insurance also. 2 fairly new cars and a Harley $500 a year total.
Need I say more?????
