    Thank you for this link. Now I know what a lot of people are moving to the western part of my state - cost of living is 30% less!

    I'm not surprised to see that we live in one of the most expensive places. Ugh!

    Too bad this isn't available for Canada. But I did get an idea by using the states directly south of where we live and want to live. Told me what I already knew. The cost of living is higher in the east than on the prairies.

    I just returned yesterday from vacation in PA. I could sell my house in CT and buy an equalvalent home in PA with a 100,000 dollar profit. WOW! What a difference in housing costs. I have a new neighbors that just moved in next door from PA they must have choked when they saw how much houses cost up here.

    I love this site. I just went and picked a couple of places I would like to live. One was were my sis lives in Port St. Lucie and I was a little shocked that it was that exspensive. My sis is frugal also.
