Earning 60k a year and my wife will be making about 45k. We are a late 20s couple with 1 child. Can we afford to live here?

I’m looking in the Manchester/Concord area right now. Pretty pricey.

Yes, you’ll be able to afford to live there. It’s a nice area, you’ll enjoy it. Easy trips to Maine, Vermont, and Boston

Next time you need to figure out the latter before doing the former!

Congrats man. Of course you can afford to live off of $105k a year. Its just a matter of your standard of living, lifestyle, home location, etc.

Are you looking north/south (I-93) or east/west (202 or 101)?

I've been to New Hampshire twice, and I'm a fan. I'm jealous of you, friend. You're going to enjoy living there.

Concord is a great town. The outdoor activities in that state are amazing. Enjoy!

New Hampshire is awesome! We live in Boston and go often to visit our friends there.

There are beaches and skiing and breweries and you're super close to Boston and Vermont. You can take the train basically anywhere in New England, or at least drive there in a few hours. I think you're going to love it up here.

Pricey? Are you kidding me? I did a simple Zillow search of Machester, NH capping the results at $400,000, and there were a plethora of great options that popped up.

Think about it for a moment. Currently, money is extremely cheap. Oh, and it's New Hampshire. I highly doubt you'll have to fret and worry about crime and poor public schools...

Pricey my arse.

I really enjoyed my work visit to Concord, wish I could've stayed longer. Favorite restaurant was The Barley House, directly across from the NH State Building.
Word of caution, a shopkeeper told me NH had stupidly high property taxes. Just did a quick search, the state average is 2.2%, third highest in the US. Numbers wise, a $250k house will have about $6000/year property tax in Merrimack County (Concord).
