Once we are in Maine we will cut down to one vehicle, most likely older because we won't take on a car payment. The house I have been currently talking to DH about has property taxes of only $443 a year as opposed to our one here that's over $2K. And like forest, we don't have any monthly bills that add up to over $200. Monthly expenses for gas and groceries are the only things that top out higher than that.

I am glad to hear that I am not alone.
You are looking at a home in Maine where the property taxes are less than a quarter of your current property taxes, cool!

Great Book for you to look at is "Where To Retire In Maine" By Victoria Doudera. She will give you a great look of the whole state of Maine. Good Luck.
