People are literally telling you what it's like in these replies. It's expensive unless you have a 6 figure job.

Right that's why I asked, so people would reply with answers

I moved here like 2 years ago. I moved for a very specific reason and I will move back out as soon as I can (summer of 2024).

Here’s my opinions and I assume I’ll get downvoted to hell and back.

Good: It’s pretty. Skiing is fun. The state parks are lovely. No traffic and just driving around looking at the views is nice.

Not so good: It’s boring. Very little going on and very little to do. Its cold, like really cold. For a really long time. Businesses are strange with inconsistent hours and constant staff shortages.
There’s not a lot of people outside of chittendon county and most of the towns seem vacant most of the year with Airbnb and second homes. This will lead to potential feelings of isolation. Heating bills are shockingly high. You will need snow tires and your car will rust with salt.
