beautiful but expensive

I moved here from Boston almost 10 years ago. I thought it would be less expensive but everything costs more. I did buy a house though, right before the market went through the roof. The reason I bought was because it was cheaper than renting around here. The taxes though are quickly becoming an issue and there is a limited amount of good jobs and even those do not pay comparable to living expenses including taxes. They called Mass "taxachusetts" but Maine is worse. The state is visually amazing and you have to take that into consideration. Maine is beautiful, the coastline and the mountains... definitely breathtaking. If it wasn't for that I would have already left.
