This may seem silly to most people but, I need to know how much stuff costs.
I really have no idea what stuff costs.When I left the hospital I had several people who volunteered to do my shopping for me ,and then would tell me it cost them 3 thousand dollars for groceries for the week.This went on for several months ,till my doctor told me they were taking advantage of me.I think I have a good idea now what things cost ,but I just found out that there are differences in cost from one region to another.
I need a basic idea of what it cost to live in Kentucky,how much a typical 3 bedroom house cost,utilities,how much to pay a maid for daily service,how much to pay a shopper,I'm also looking at hiring a personal chef

      and where are you in Kentucky? (what regions are you looking at?)
      There are pretty great differences between Louisville and Lexington, East Ketucky, West, Central and South...

      By the way - gas here is cheaper than anywhere between Texas and here (just did the drive the other day)
      and I was pretty happy with that.
      NOT that the price of gas isn't ridiculous - but that it's cheaper here than THERE made me smile.

    I live in South eastern Kentucky and the cost of living here is a lot cheaper than in larger cities. You can rent a house for anywhere between 250-500 a month. Groceries are always on sale and there is always someone advertising in the newspaper looking to clean houses. If you know what area you are planning to move to, my best advice would be to find a website for that town and the website for the local paper. They can tell you a lot about the things you are interested in.

      The level of my own psychosis is the hardest thing to explain,to give an example ,the mail man puts my mail in a rubber binder attached to a string that runs through the mail slot in my front door.This way I can decide when to get my mail rather than the mail man putting it through the slot and ultimately taking when I get my mail out of my control.If I see mail go through the slot without my control I go through panic attacks and the mail will sit until my shrink comes and through it away .I can't even touch my mail with my bare hands.I cant touch my front door without panic attacks,going near a window regardless if its closed or not will send me to a panic attack.I have a black file cabinet that has nothing but information of a trust that has my money that i cant even touch( other people have had their hands all over the paper and you cant clean paper).
      I have no history ,that I made sure of when i burned my medical records in a manic state 6 months ago.I have no life beyond the computer,the filthy world outside of my house keeps me in these walls.I have no friends ,everyone that has made contact with me has taken something from me, and I cant trust anyone.
      I want what everybody takes advantage of ,a life . I need to find someone I can trust ,I need to find family.To do this I need to move to Kentucky ,but my problem is is that everything in my life has been handled by someone Else.Up until I had my own computer I had no idea how much some things cost.When I was at the hospital I had a small TV that I thought must have been very expensive since you could get pictures ,not just sound ,I was very surprised to find out that my music box cost more,and when I moved into my house even more surprised when I bought a new TV it was more expensive than my music box.
      I laugh now ,but when it happened it just fueled my mistrust.
      I just need information ,how much a house would cost,how much does it cost to live for a week ,how much would it cost to have someone take care of my needs ,I don't care if its one person or many people ,what ever it takes money is not a problem I just don't want to be taken advantage of anymore.I'm not asking for anybody here to help me I will find that on my own.I need to take this one step at a time ,I appreciate people trying to be my friend ,but I need to create a comfort zone first.
      To give you a better idea of what I am ,imagine somebody living in a cave since they were a child and then being put in a big city to survive on their own
