Maryland, an expensive place to live!

Ok, time to vent. Why is Maryland so expensive? From utilities, to food, to registering your car, it's all so expensive. A driver's license costs $45.00. Matt had to pay $90 since he drives a car and a motorcycle. Then you have to pay to get your car inspected, which costs 59-79, depending on where you take it. And to get my Maryland plates, it cost me $278! Man, does all of that add up!

We got spoiled living in Austin, that's for sure. It's a lot more affordable than East Cost livin, plus NO STATE TAX, which was also the case in FL, so when you go back to paying state tax, it hurts a bit. Oh well, that's my main complaint. Otherwise, we really like the area we're in. It's pretty, very family friendly and we've met a lot of great people so far. So I guess things could be worse : )
