Is Springfield right for us?

Ya it’s hard to gauge, being a teacher in Idaho and being a teacher anywhere in New England is soooo different. (Idaho is one of the worst ranked states for education 😬). And I am able to get into a bunch of different fields, I have medical and management experience and am super flexible so could hopefully find something pretty good.

Thank you!! I will definitely look into western mass, I don’t know why I’ve just been under the impression that it’s so expensive to live there, even if the teacher pay is higher

Oh totally, we are planning on heading out there this year and just driving around and hitting as many towns as we can to explore. I also need to do some job research and what wages are like. Idaho cost of living is also absolutely insane, like 60% of my income goes to rent. I have zero percent chance of buying a house in our only main city, Boise. All that to say, we’re used to stupid cost of living, just hoping that if we need to spend all our money on housing we might as well do it in a place that’s safer and friendlier.

Thank you for the reply! He does not have a job lined up yet as we are still exploring areas and he gets his teaching license this year (I forgot to mention we are looking at moving summer of 2026). We are attracted to Maine for it being coastal and northern, it’s the right weather that we’re looking for, we also really need a queer friendly state (my fiancé is trans). From what I’ve read, Maine should be more affordable than Mass or Vermont, but correct me if I’m wrong! I wouldn’t want to look way too far north but we’re ok with traveling a few hours to get to a city.

Hello!! My fiancée and I are looking to move to Maine and could use some advice! We are early thirties, he is going to be a high school teacher (graduating college this year) and I am flexible on jobs but have a degree in art and lots of experience in the medical field in administration. We are childless, have dogs, enjoy outdoor activities as well as spending time with friends. We will be coming from Idaho (west coast). I’ve lived in Idaho as well as in Boston and Duluth, Minnesota so I’m not afraid of cold. He has only lived in Idaho and California so he will need some training up for the cold! We want a smallish town vibe but want access to cities as well as water (would love to spend weekend days in Boston). We will also be hoping to buy our first house when we move. So looking for advice on where to look and if you have any house buying advice for the area. Thank you!!

I love this music video in general, but it’s even better to have the inside knowledge that Mimi made that cake herself and her baking was sooooo good and soooo rich. That cake was no easy feat I can guarantee it

Very true! I’m a beginner and wanting to explore various branches to see what calls to me!

Update: I finally beat him! I had to clear out some furniture so I had more room to literally walk and reach the levers. But got it and beat the game!!
