Bozeman Housing Prices (salary, living, costs)

[MTer]

At least several people have inquired about housing costs in and around Bozeman. You might find this article, in the online version of Bozeman's newspaper today, interesting. I'm just copying the URL, not the article, for copyright reasons.

Whats really interesting is I read an article a couple of weeks ago how a group of Business Owners are fighting the increase in mininum wage. A wage that has not been increased in a long, long time and isn't on par with the cost of living.

I am thankful my husbands new job is quite a bit higher than the salaries mentioned in the article. But its sad for the people in the article (and those not mentioned) that are struggling to make ends meet. I know even with my husbands new salary, it may be close for us since I am a SAHM to our two children. Even if I worked I would be "working" to pay for childcare. How bizarre is that?
