Everything is costing more nowadays and it’s clear that New England is feeling the squeeze a little more than most other regions of the country since we’re already dang expensive to begin with!

World Population Review just released their 2023 report of Most Expensive States in the Country to live in and New England eats up 4 of the Top 10 Most Expensive slots.

Things such as housing and transportation costs, proximity to resources, childcare costs and local taxes were figured in to compiling the list.

If you’re looking for Econo-living time to move to Mississippi, who finished atop the Cheapest States to live in.

Here comes the complete list – and if you want some good news, even though we’re paying out our noses to live here we actually live longer than most of the rest of the country. For more on that CLICK HERE and feel immortal (you’re not BTW).
