The utility bills skyrocket in the winter thanks to the gas company. After I sell the house it will drop to $1K-$2k/month and rents will cover that. Whatever I make on the net will be gravy from that point on. I'm not big on buying toys other than houses. Not having kids or a wife other than Peaches who is 800 miles away from me helps a lot. 
I edited to add here is Pittsburgh.

Hubby and I have been considering Pittsburgh for Carnegie Mellon (for his master's degree) and because I like snow in winter. What's it like there?
