I was paying more in rent for a crummy little house in NY than my total monthly expenses here including mortgage. The property tax on the house that I sold in NY would have been $22K and goes up every year. My electric was way higher, also the cost of oil heat in the winter. After I looked around here and did the numbers i realized I couldn't afford not to live here.
I love it here. I don't scrimp on anything and my income is just over $50K.
