Old people live up North. Southern Maine (with Portland as the hub) has a full array of age ranges and activities. Wife and I moved here when we were 25 and we haven’t looked back. Great place to live and raise a family. That’s assuming you can find housing of course.

Great bands have been coming to Portland for 15+ years.

You can call Spectrum and threaten to cancel and they will lower your bill. I’m locked in at $55 for a year and they doubled my speed for 3 years (also for free)

Why do they do there? Multiple departments?

USPS

Starting pay may jump up to ~$25 an hour later this year. Get paid to exercise and enjoy the fresh air.

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

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).

OOB is known as somewhat of a white trash type of town. Bad schools, kinda rundown in many sections. With that said I love OOB and consider it to be the best beach in Maine.

I almost pulled the trigger on a 3 bedroom home within walking distance to the beach, was going for under $200K back in 2017/2018. We ended up buying in Portland so no regrets there.

OP said 4 months.

Arcadia. People like anime and games there.

Another option is to get a dog and go on frequent walks where people congregate. Even though I’m married I usually end up talking with other dog owners if I’m walking my pups through a park or something. Dog parks can also be a good place to start up a conversation.

What’s the yearly gross income after all expenses are paid for this company?

How much are you paying in total? How big is your house?

And this was back before Covid, so pre-2020

Couple I saw were nice move in ready 3 bedroom 2 bath homes. Nothing fancy but not rundown.

I get that it’s isolated but that’s got to be some of the cheapest oceanfront real estate in the entire country.

I hope to one day call myself an elder 😂. Will be an honor to live that long.

Yeah, I guess I meant the majority of people who answer “yes” will be 55+. But thankfully there are elders who have cut the cord!

PORTLAND

It’s not perfect but it’s unique combination of job opportunities and amenities can’t be beat. Anyone who was lucky enough to snag a home pre-pandemic has no plans of ever leaving.

Oceanfront homes were selling for around $250K before the pandemic up there. Kinda crazy to own waterfront property at that price point.

You could just ask, are you over the age of 55? 🤣

Cable TV is one of the biggest scams around. Preying off the elderly.

With an older home replacing the windows and making sure your home is airtight, sealed and well insulated is going to be more beneficial than trying to go with solar energy. Your heat/cooling system is still going to leak/waste energy if you don’t fix the core issues of the home.
