What’s your income level? Housing prices have doubled for the most part over the last 3 years. So an average $200K home now goes for $400K+.

Southern Maine is the more diverse/accepting area of the state but it’s also the most expensive. Most of the jobs are found here.

1-bedroom apartments are now going for $1500+ in the Portland area (our largest city).

Around 20k per year.

I wish I made more, but early childhood teachers don't make shit. 😕

Is that full time? Almost everyday job over here pays $20 an hour. Do you have a teaching degree?

You could probably get a job at Walgreens here that pays $20 per hour. So I would expect to make slightly more than you do currently, but obviously rent will also be higher.
