- Alaska is expensive to live in...but it's certainly more affordable than other states! In this video, see what other states/cities are more expensive and how Alaska's largest city (Anchorage) compares to other cities with the cost of living index.

What questions do you have? How does your state compare? Post down below!
Williston, ND?
i'm so glad i'm moving to alaska from southern california. nothing phases me in terms of cost haha!
That's awesome! I can't imagine you would be scared of much after living in Cali lol
this was a very reassuring video. I currently live in Honolulu and before that I lived in Washington DC, so it looks like expense wont be that much of a shock, actually even a little less than I'm used to currently.
If you're living in Honolulu, AK is going to feel a lot more affordable by and large!
Love how detailed ur videos are for this niche
Thanks for the breakdown! I learned so much from this video! This will certainly help many! :)
Glad it was helpful!
Great breakdown going over the cost of living indexes in different areas! It's fascinating learning the cost of living in areas around the world, and you explained things incredibly well! With travel (and therefore seeing Alaska again) being the main motivator behind my financial goals, your channels content is great! I just subscribed, keep it up!
Thank you very much! Let me know if you have any specific questions you want answered. I want to make sure content is geared toward what's going to be useful :)
I live in the Chicago area in cook county which is really expensive 😣
It's interesting to see all these broken down. We're currently living in Canada but have considered moving to US. Just not entirely sure where at the moment.
That's great! What part of Canada? Alaska might be pretty close to yall :)
I am planning to move up there in about 3 years, (from Montana) I am really interested in the interior region. Probably more towards Delta junction or TOK. BUUUT that can change. My living situation is single and my 2 oldest are well into their 20's, with my youngest living with her mom. So it'll be just me and the mutt, I'll probably take a trip up to look at properties before hand.
That's awesome! Have you visited before?
Currently live in California where a 2500 square foot house with no land costs 7 figures. Anywhere is cheaper than here
True that! I can't imagine how difficult it can be to make ends meet in those markets.
I've lived in Seattle and Ventura County. I am sure that no matter how prepared I am, I will still have shock at food prices in AK, but a lot of other stuff I would not spend so much money on may make it all even out. You should do a video of a grocery run, just showing prices of every day things most people get - milk, fruits, veggies, meat, cat litter, pasta, 5lb bags of potatoes, etc.
Also, when they say 'utilities', are they including heat? I like it at around 55-60 in my house, so my a/c bills are always pretty high. I wonder if my heat bill would be lower because I like being cold. I hate being hot or too warm.
I live in stuben county NY . Could you do a video on travel expenses from mainland USA to Anchorage

I just accepted a job offer in Eagle River
That's great! Where are you working?
@@alaska_realtor I am an hvac service tech. I just accepted a job with Extreme Heating and Air. Just working through the process of getting preapproval letters, and decide if we’re building or buying. For the price of what need to buy, we could build a house for that.
Once we have a house lined up, then we can start planning the actual move up there
@@Countrysidehvacservice , how goes everything? I am in HVAC, considering a move to the Anchorage area, let me know how things work out for you, best of luck to.

California is pretty expensive but I didn't know Alaska was THIS expensive
Yup, it's going to be expensive, but it's also way more isolated than most states so that makes sense.
I live in Central Maine. I'm approximately an hour from both Portland and Bangor and about a half an hour from Augusta Maine. Can you give me an idea how much more expensive Alaska is going to be from Maine. I'm looking into Fairbanks, Wasilla, Palmer, Eagle River, Delta Junction, Homer areas right now. I have been doing research and it seems like Alaska while being more expensive on something isn't much more expensive and I'm wondering if that is correct. Based on my research, it seems like Alaska may be more expensive but that Alaskans don't have the taxes lole we do here so I'm wondering if it's actually cheaper in Alaska or if its not as bad as it may seem from a cost of living point of view to make the jump from Maine to Alaska.
Check out the cost of living index and see how Maine compares to AK. I don't believe they really factor in taxes in the index, so you will likely find that AK is more competitive than you might think.
I live in Los Angeles California, one of the most expensive cities in the state. That is y I am having thoughts on moving.
Ooh yikes that's going to be expensive. How much do you spend on rent/mortgage down there?
Goecker Group I don’t know my dad is hush hush about it. Just for a studio is over 1000 dollars a month. For an apartment is an estimation between 1000 to 2000 but I could be wrong about that. However many of my friends already left California because of how expensive it is here.
@I Like Watching Anime Most of my friends moved there and even asked me to move with them. The problem is that I don't do hot. I like the cold
I live in Wailuku Maui Hawaii
As a whole, Wailuku is about 20% more expensive than Anchorage. But hey you've got the beaches, so that counts for something! :) Have you thought about moving up here?
@@alaska_realtor it's one of the last beach front untouched moving to Alaska phew many times thought about it thank you
My dream is to move to alaska. I'm not going to go to a college. I plan on moving there before I'm 25.
I just need a stable job over there and a 1 bedroom apartment that allows dogs.
What would be the best city to live in?
Borrow or Nome is good
