Florida, has no income tax, 7% sales tax, and 650/year prop taxes, OF WHICH 250 bux is trash and recycle pickup once a week.....


True I had to shut down my business, and lost a LOT of money in other business 'ventures'....but it was easy starting up again, made good bux again....

I moved to NH. No Income tax or sales tax and my business tax was reasonable. Property taxes are higher than other places but still less than in NY.

I was able to save a great deal of the money I would have spent on taxes and now I have a decent retirement account that should allow me to have a very nice retirement in 3-5 more years. I will move to Florida full time then and avoid the NH dividend/Interest taxes


If I had stayed in NY taxes and high costs would have not allowed me to have the lifestyle I have up here or the savings.
