For me that's a big part of it though. A lower house price for substantially more house and more land directly equates to lower costs per month and year. Also it would appear my insurance rates would go down substantially with a move to the areas that I want to be in. The property tax values would be correspondingly lower as well.

Food, gas, oil those things still cost the same as far as I can tell. But the huge break on a house and the amount of land I would get is a major reason for me. We don't want to live on the shoreline or where it cost the same as Connecticut, we want to move out into the woods, so there's a big price difference.

What have you found Tony? Just in terms of your cost of living expenses? It sounds like they really didn't change from what Connecticut would be for you and I'd love to know why as we're planning the potential move in the next year or so.
