I know a lot of posts are really old on here
Would love to hear from people on these posts that did move and what their views were if they have any tips etc

We moved to PEI seven years ago, hard to give tips without context though. Tips about what?

I moved here 28 years ago and have never regretted it.....but then again, I grew up on a small Island in NFLD, so my expectations were reasonable.

We moved here 6 yrs. ago for the cheap real estate and quiet lifestyle. We now own a home on the water with no mortgage, a lovely view and about 20 minutes from Summerside on the North Shore. A few things such as real estate property taxes and car insurance are cheaper. Other things are more expensive here than in Ontario: Food, home heating. I think it balances out.

We moved here when my husband retired so we didn't have to worry about jobs so much. I do work part time, but I make about 1/2 as much as I did in Ontario also working part time. I also have a lot less stress and a 10 minute commute instead of 45 minutes on a major highway in Ontario.

I used to bad mouth some parts of PEI small town living on this site years ago, I had a LOT of bad memories of being abused and bullied at school and home on the Island. I came back for visits again after a 12 year absence in 2008, and I was surprised about how the people were actually a lot nicer and more reasonable than I remember! I've since modified my views a lot, but all in all, I'd prefer to still stay away from a lot of my family, and some of the high school people I knew.

I moved here last summer and built a cabin just for myself and my dog. It took a lot of learning as I am a city girl. I find most men too needy for money and they try to sell me their crap right and left. My next door neighbour pisses me off by asking me for a free cig every 3-4 days by coming to my door. He cleaned the snow for my driveway just by going forward and backwards with his truck for $30 and some of the snow is from his driveway blowing onto mine when he cleans his every day. I find these people very uneducated and rude and lazy. I will soon fence my land and put up an entrance door. I live in Souris. I love the nature here. My dog is happy. I bought wood for heating and my cabin is warm. So there are good things and VERY annoying things. I actually would like your suggestions about this annoying neighbor. He also told me many things for why I shouldn't have a fence and if I do I have to put the fence I dont know how many feet away from the property line inside my land. I told him there is no such rule. I came here to own a little place and live peacefully with my dog.
