Question about a state

[gracie123]

Hi,

I am thinking of relocating from where I live now to Minnesota. I love the snow, and I am fine with it. If anyone has visited this state, or lives in it... can anyone tell me how happy they are or were visiting or living? :)

Thank you!!

Do you live in the New England States now ??? If so you will still like Minn. ;)


New Englander Qualification Checklist

- Your local Dairy Queen is closed from September through May

- You know the 27th letter of the alphabet....pronounced "ahhh," and used where most Americans would use "r"

- You've shot baskets in mittens.

-You can answer an important question with "ayup" ....even a question from a judge or a cop....and not only will they take no offense, they'll use the term as well.

- You instinctively walk like a penguin for six months out of the year

- You've worn shorts and a parka at the same time

- You know several people who have hit a deer more than once

- You have switched from heat & A/C in the same day, and back again.


- You can drive 65 mph through 2 feet of snow.


- You install security lights on your house and garage, but leave both unlocked.

-You've had to shovel snow before your little league game.

- You design your kid's Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit.


- Driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow.


- Down South to you means Philadelphia.

Hi to both of you :),

I currently live in New Jersey... originally from California but my job relocated me. I've heard some nice things about Minnesota so I'd really like to visit and possibly move there if I like it enough.

I wish I could find out if cost of living is high or average....

We sold all our property in NJ and moved to Myrtle Beach in 1998. We do not miss the high property taxes or the auto ins. costs. We love SC and the weather even though the snow only comes every ten years to stay on the ground.

We visit Michigan and Minn. Both are lovely states all seasons.

;D Eventually the "Wildman" may relocate from "EXPENSIVE" Southern California, IE., median price of a home is over half a million dollars, average rent is $1,500.00 + monthly. What is the cost of living like? Hay it isn't to early to gather information.

Thanks
Wildman

Well NY and Callifornia are the most expensive states to live in.
