Re: Pros/ Cons
I'm not convinced about 'more opportunities for the kids' either.

Re: Pros/ Cons
Me neither. Sports cost an arm and a leg. I did find Dd a weekly dance class for cheap. But it's taught by a teen and it's just for fun, not competition or anything serious.
College costs more than my house did.

Re: Pros/ Cons
I'd assumed the OP was UK-based etc. Hence the quote in pounds. I could do it in sprouts but defer to Tonrob on the exchange rate. Last I heard, it was one good sized sprout for a 7 bed, 6 bath, quadruple garage and pool...
We live in Chandler, just on the southern edge of Phoenix, in AZ, where some parts are headed for the 21st century, and some others are headed to the mid 19th century. Quite confusing really. BTW, does anybody know if Governor Jan Brewer is actually a real witch, or just posing as stunt double?

Re: Pros/ Cons
And I quoted in GREAT BRITISH POUNDS STERLING - THE ONES THAT ARE NEITHER DOLLARS OF ANY KIND OR EUROS. The clue was in the little '£' sign in front of it, rather than the '$' or '€'... admittedly it was in such an obvious place that nobody would think to look there, m'lud.

Re: Pros/ Cons
One thing I noticed is how widely different house prices are.
We just saw a 5 bed house with 2 bathrooms and 1.5 acres, on the ocean in Bar Harbor of Maine, a really lovely tourist town going for $150K while a 4 bed down the street not on the ocean was $115K
Those prices wouldn't get you a garage or a shed down our way.
Then again, property taxes up there are in the hundreds per year rather than the thousands per month down here too.
