This is where I grew up. My son still lives there. I just asked him about the cost of living. My husband is being transferred with his choice of where he wants to go. Our son said they were out the door to go shopping. As soon as they got done shopping, he sent mea snapshot of everything they bought with prices and grand total. I was in shock. Your cost of living for Tucson is way off!
