Review of Portland, Maine


Money, money, money....
Star Rating - 7/29/2005
It's a nice place to live - if you can afford it! We moved here about 6 months ago. It is definitely more expensive than anticipated. Everything costs more here: groceries, daycare, housing, utilities. It's sad, but we're not sure if we can make it here on our income (60,000 +). We are barely keeping our heads above water.

Money, money, money...? What is the matter with you, if your income is too low for the area, why did you locate there? I'll tell you why, typical white american view that things should always work out to their advantage without any effort! Get a SECOND job you moron.
