Anyone 16+ is legally allowed with any age?

While this won't apply to everyone:
If you file jointly, if together you make more than $300,000 in income, you aren't qualified for the rebate. If you file as a head of household and make $225k or more, you won't qualify.

Guess my zillow filter is not perfect.

Wait, no, you both should have cars even if you commute tothether every day. There's are cheaper EVs on the market you can look at.

I live in a beautiful neighborhood in Fitchburg. There are some sad places within the city but every old mill city has that issue. I have never been the victim of a crime and I have lived here most of my life. My car has never been broken into, my house has never been broken into, I’ve never been robbed, etc. Worst thing that has happened is I’ve been hounded at Market Basket for change but that has also happened in Westford so it happens anywhere.
Schools suck but if you don’t have kids who cares?
Wachusett Brewery is a fun place, River Styx is great too. Leominster has some awesome food and the proximity to Worcester is great. People saying you can’t find something for $1200 aren’t looking. My friend just found a nice one bedroom in an ok area for $950, all hardwood floors, insulated, and brand new windows and doors. It may seem weird noting insulation but that is something to consider! Old apartments are often not insulated so keep that in mind.

The Cape has always been known to receive very little snow. The first winter after my family and I moved to Hyannis, we got a crippling snow storm with the after-effects lasting weeks. They haven’t had one like that since.

My son lives in Fayetteville nc, a real dump of a city. Rents there have skyrocketed past 2 years also. But mass just keeps getting great press, and so many want out of the red state dumpster fires. Many who are coming are highly skilled and can afford it. I have a housing subsidy thankfully. Good luck. I will say, I love my state. I just moved to boston and there is plenty to do even if you are broke. I always planned to leave for the weather but with the state of the country, and an unexpected disability, I doubt I ever will leave.

Give it another 10 yr and central/western will be mud pits of rain. East coast is done for at this point, always was less because of the ocean but it’s done for now completely. Maybe a superstorm every 10-20yr at best

Thank you, that’s helpful. Do we have more rebate like California have?

I heard ppl said Tesla can’t be the only vehicle at home. You need a gas vehicle for alternative.

Yeah I'm realizing now that's a bit of a pipe dream. I threw that out there in case there might be any cheaper/overlooked areas at a little further drive, but I recognize the cost of housing here is completely incomparable to MA/the northeast lol.

$1200 for a 2 bedroom is unlikely statewide. I just moved from greenfield, and it’s not even possible around there anymore.

Reply to Monthly Electricity Bill Is Killing Me by haitiandev
Honest.. you have to do what my wife and I do… basically live like cave weights… you have to get into the habit of turning off all lights as soon as you leave a room, and use a lower wattage bulbs on all your lights… also, if you have a lot of things plugged into your walls, coffee makers, and other appliance including phone chargers, unplug them when not in use…. Do not use space heaters, as they are a monster for using up electricity… for the 2 of us, we average around 150 bucks a month, but when the rates are lower, it’s around 100 a month

Come to Gardner, or around here. Worst ive had was kids stealing change from my car, till I locked the doors.
The burg isn't bad, its like anywhere else. Don't go looking for trouble & youll be fine. Parts of Boston are way worse, that's where I'm from.

I shoveled the driveway in my pjs and bathrobe this morning. It got super icy as I removed like an inch of wet snow.
Stay safe out there.

I second all of this. Great description of Fitchburg. Fitchburg being "bad" or "trashy" is somewhat of a running joke in the area. The truth is, there are many quiet, pretty, and rural neighborhoods as well as the "problem" areas. Far from perfect, and probably as average as can be, but I have never felt particularly unsafe in Fitchburg. Most often trouble doesn't find you unless you're looking for it
