Why Logan Utah?

THE INSPECTION OF OUR HOME PASSED!
so you may wonder why we chose Logan Utah...this is why!

Any new home buyer in the denver metro area

Can tell you that

A mediocre small home will

Cost you around 250k.

And that usually doesn't include 

Too many updates.

We decided to move to Logan Utah

In order to have a more affordable

Cost of living....

And less expense would also equal 

More time together as a family

Another thing we wanted to minimize was 

Shaun's drive to work...

He is currently leaving for work

At 6:45 am,

And doesn't return home until 6:30pm.

Which equals about 60 hours in drive time each month.

Overall we wanted a more

Convenient lifestyle

Where we could spend more time 

As a family and have less money go towards expenses...

(more play money and play time!)

Here is the cost comparison that made this decision

A little easier...cuz don't get me wrong, I

Love colorado.

I am a colorado native!

But the cost of living here had become 

Not worth the time or effort we were putting into it.

Home insurance colorado $1300/ year

Home insurance Utah $350/year
money saved=$950/year

Property taxes colorado $1600/year

Property taxes Utah $900/year

money saved $700/year
 

Cost of an average home colorado $246,600

Cost of an average home logan, Utah $159,500
money saved $87,100

Cost of gas for driving to/from work colorado $293/month

(Shaun Has a 1.5 hour commute, each way)

Cost of gas to/from work Logan Utah $0.,,, the buses are FREE!
money saved $3516/year

And to put the cherry on top,

Our water bill for watering our yard will average $30/ YEAR!

Because We have partial water shares on this property,

Which means we get free yard water from the canal!

That will come in handy cuz the yard has a lot to water.....

When Shaun and I got married I told him he had to 

Agree to two things....

#1- we will never live in Utah 

#2- I will never do daycare in our home

Both of those items have now been done,

We are moving to Utah and I did daycare at our old house for a

Couple months to cover some extra unseen costs we incurred.

Today's lesson,

Never say never!
