What other topics would you want to hear about? Let me know below!

The best part of the presentation was you Brad! Nice budget discussion and good humor!

I’m a little late to this but just moved to Maine last year and it is incredibly beautiful and I love a lot about it. That being said if you’re a young person not looking to buy a house the mid coast area is extremely challenging. Most rent is over 1000 in an area where a lot of jobs are seasonal, you’ll be dealing with individual property owners not companies, and though I still don’t get why almost none of them allow pets. The options are also very very slim and competitive. It’s just not set up for young renters. But you can’t beat the views.

So it’s super expensive to live there then ahaha should have said that in the beginning of your video

Hey Brad, thanks for your videos. Very informative and high production quality. only room for improvement are the sound levels. Keep going!

Brad really nice video! Maine looks beautiful, and you really walked through many of the interesting points well. It's always fun learning the ins and outs about other States, and the cost of living points really contextualize what it's like! You talk incredibly well in front of the camera, hope to see more! #95! Keep it up!

I'm surprised. This budget breakdown sounds pretty typical for many areas in PA, comparitively. It's so hard to gauge a place to move to when you've never gotten the full experience. Thank you for these videos! They're helping me get a better picture of Maine.

Very helpful and well informed video, thank you, would love to come to Maine.

I live in Rhode Island but I do like visiting old orchard beach every summer

Hey man, great content! Hope to see more.

Whoa!! Move to northern Maine and save a ton.

Those housing prices are insane! I own a house with 9 ft ceilings, 3bd, 2ba, bamboo floors, with a pecan tree on a corner lot that's .21 acres with almost 1300 sq. ft. of living space. And I paid $20,000 for it in the '90s. In the south, in the urban core of a city. Guess I'll be visiting Maine for a vacay and not to stay. :-)

Thanks Brad. Great Coverage. I'm n OHIO looking to move to Main w the Next Couple Year's. Not sure of what area just yet. But I'm looking 4ward to a visit soon. Have a Fabulous Positive Energy DAY😍😍😍🌞🌞🌞

That intro beat is 🔥

Definitely helpful! Thanks man!

The out of staters who have come here and are buying and renting places for more than asking have driven up the costs so much locals can't afford to live here any more. Also the rents are the same as Boston but the average household income in Maine is about $30,000 less in Maine that in Mass.

Great vid boss

Maine, Main concern is internet speed for a TON of people looking to move out there.

That first house you showed, Looks just my house in rural NC and I only paid like 40 K. that's wild to me. But I think Maine is such a beautiful state! My cat Aura and I would love to live there one day.

Although living in Maine seems to be more expensive than Illinois (my state), it's not that bad compared to California it appears. Guess I'll have to save up a lot before I even consider moving ;/

Thanks for explaining all this! We are looking at both Maine and Alabama. We currently live in Denver, Colorado and it’s become outrageous here!

Okay brad this is your sign to post that next video

Can you do a video with the current gas prices with the influence they have on everything else?

Gonna move to Maine!

Very informative

you haven't made a new videos-watch up in MAINE Watching from CA Looking to be closer to my family in Mass but it's crazy expensive there now and taxes is the same here in CA

Hey Brad! I’m currently contemplating moving from Anchorage AK to Portland ME. Do you like that area? I have to be no more than 20 mins away from Maine Medical so was wondering what area you would recommend. Thanks and great job on the video!

What's up with most multi bedroom homes having only one bathroom?

I think you forgot to meantion heat. You did say it varies this is absolutely true but it doesn't vary from nothing to a little more then nothing it varies from wow that's pretty expensive to holy crap

It it possible to buy a lot and have a smaller house (almost tiny home) put on the lot? Live in Florida - from Massachusetts. As I’m getting older I’m looking for that snowbird other stop. Any suggestions for people who want to live there smaller and newer construction like the Scandinavian type tiny homes that can be shipped anywhere in the country? I don’t have to be near in major city our preferences are to be able to come up there and see each season and we all love to ski and snowboard my husband is a fisherman so being by the coast isn’t bad either. Thank you for your time.

2.69 for premium, now its more than 5...crazy...

You're a big dork and I love it 🤣🤣🤣

Hi Brad, What would be the approximate winter heating cost per month for the 720 sq ft home you showed as an example? (From FL, not sure??)

gas here here since biden took over is $5 bucks per gallon :( I just love Cali weather but I want to be closer to m family there

I heard that if you come from out of state you have to pay extra to buy?

what would be a good agreement if you stay with family go half on the bills.

While Maine is beautiful compared to smoggy cities, there is not a lot to do here. Jobs are hard to get, most foods are shipped in. Grocery stores are more expensive then California where I came from. Winters are long and fuel, electric is expensive during winters. There are far more fun places to live if you enjoy things to do. An introvert like a writer is fine here. You have to want a lot of solitude. You really need to have funds if you want to retire here and want a more rural existence unless you live in the cities which have similar problems and again you have winters now on top of that.

I'm originally from Pennsylvania, but have been living in Oregon for a few years. My girlfriend and I are interested in moving to Bangor, ME because of the affordable homes, similar distance from the coast, and it's closer to family. I know it is very cold there and snows a lot, but is it a nice place to live? Some websites say it's one of the safest cities, and others say it riddled with drugs, homeless, and theft....it would be cool to hear opinions from people who live or have been there. We're looking to settle down. We do not want a large city, or even a medium-sized city. Thanks.

You’re part of the problem driving up housing costs in Maine!

I live in Maine and I live in Westbrook so close like 30 minutes away from Portland and you live from in Portland hey I might as well just see you one day probably not going to happen though since you know not a lot of fans got to see KZfaqrs you know but names a good place right yeah it is

I wasn't worried about hi-speed Internet 'til now, but we've been ESL Online teachers for two years. Is that a problem in ...Bangor? I know you're in York. Any resources on that? Bangor's at the top of our moving list from Georgia. It's got UMaine and affordable rentals (though not many). Thanks!

I live in Maine

Do they let you have an ESA (Emotional Support Animal) or do they still say no animals in a lot of areas?

I was told the price is comparable to Virginia which is where I live.

How many duplexes are there?

What about the property tax?

Lived in Maine for 6 years. Maine taxes you on EVERYTHING. Things you wouldn't think you'd get taxed on. About the only thing Maine doesn't tax you on is groceries. But hold on, wait. Next time you purchase a bottle of 100% juice, no sugar added check your receipt. Maine probably taxed you on the bottle. (This I know because it came to my attention and I asked at one grocery store). Maine taxes you every year on the value of your car (the town that is). And the tax only decrease for so many years (I think 5) then stabilizes. Meanwhile your car continues to get older and older and less valuable. I guess they think everyone sells their car after 5 years. There is a sugar/junk food tax. Maine even asks you for money from things you purchased out-of-Maine and didn't pay sales tax on (this is becoming more the norm nationwide).

Are you still a Realtor? Who does your video editing?

So like, can you help me figure out where to move in Maine? Lol I don't think you'll see this but it's my dream state to live in. I need to move somewhere an hvac technician can thrive and still afford food lol

Where should I visit in Maine when I visit?

Family of three in Western Maine. I spend $320/month in groceries.

What about Augusta?

It was nice when gas was 2.60 now 5 dollars May 22.

so basically you have to be rich to live in maine. damn.

If you’re fleeing; California, NY, Oregon Washington Maine isn’t your place. You’ll be bored. Real estate & taxes are crazy expen$ive for what you get. 3rd gen main’ah this isn’t the gem it use to be. Texas RI VT you’ll like more.

Plenty of abandoned buildings/homes to fix-up!

Well I don't really know if you live in Portland or south Portland you never know

Well, this isn't even close anymore.

I spend 40 a week on gass in California and I drive a Corolla. Feels bad.

If only there were more jobs in Maine... at lease ones I could get, haha! That and if I could convince my wife the winters are THAT bad.

How does this man have less than 1k subscribers?

"NO PETS"? forget me- that sucks

Maine is Taxation Land. I lived there all my life. You forgot to add car reg. Its $100 and up. Some cars can be $500-800 a yr. Also cars have to be inspected. If your isn't new this gets expensive. Retire some place cheaper.

These are California costs of living

Maine like damn near every other state is what you make of it. I'm from Amsterdam, NY, but have been here for many years. I've traveled from Maine to Maine or AMNY places in-between, and while it might not be my first choice to (retire to) live, but - IT IS WONDERFUL here, and depending on where you move to, do for a living, you WILL love the fact that you left and moved here. And let's talk about other parts of the state, while Southern Maine is where most folks live, but THERE are a TON of Wonderful places to live in Maine … a TON! offthebeatenpathwithskip.com

Wow. You can buy a 4 bedroom house in my area for 280$ 😂 oof!

This video is based on Southern Maine which is the highest cost of living area in Maine. I live in Maine and the majority of the rest of the state hates Southern Maine because people are rude and snobby and we would rather just give Southern Maine to Massachusetts. We call it northern Massachusetts.

Hi are the ppl in Maine kinda like New Yorkers?

the jokes

ppl don’t need a primer on their car expenses etc. just go into the costs in ME.

If you move here-embrace us. Tired of ya'll changing MY state.

Stay away!!

Is there Mexicans overthere
