    As a retired Maine teacher I can tell you this is misleading, most of our schools have become terrible; that is why my grandchildren are in private schools because the public schools are now completely unacceptable. Unless you live in a wealthy suburb or township (roughly 5 of them in the state but these are the exception), your child is not going to get the education they need to be successful in life.

    I am low income and probably the cheapest area to live in Maine would be northern Aroostook County. I know they have extreme winters but because it is common for me to have my house temperature in the mid 50s my heating bill is often 1 third the average. When it comes to push I adjust to brutal weather conditions. I love to have a modest size house and a large track of land. Away from the BS I see here in Eastern MA.
