Buy a house. A co-worker just got a 3br in Sebago for $118k, with a 2 car garage. that's cheap.

Lots of folks moving south(way south, no snow and now oil bill south), buyers market, do it. You just need to figure out which people are trying to make money and which ones just need their house sold quick.

yeah but i've only got 110k to play with max. so that doesn't leave much. and the comute from sebago (trust me i grew up there) would start to negate the money saved on a house to money spent to get to work

that's one of things you could do

Wife and I quit 3 months ago, and alll of a sudden there's an extra 250-300 a month

I quit just before i turned 40.With the money i saved i was able to start buying sport cars....

Maine State Housing Authority (MSHA) has some good first time home buyer programs, and with your income you might actually qualify for them.

already looked seriously into buying a house. with my income it's just not going to happen. so i just going to make some changes on how i spend money and try to save more.... buying a little motorcycle to save on gas money counts right? hahaha

 

[InSaNeBoY]

it was $750/mo, 2br 1ba in that small crappy duplex, right next to chip's subaru.

Plus I made about the same money ($12/hr) and my wife was in school and not working at the time too...
