"You can always move to PA if it gets bad; we have that idiot Wolfe, but also a GOP-controlled house and senate, so it’s easy to boot him in the ass and shut him down when he gets uppity."

My daughter lives in PA now and I know PA doesn't tax Social Security, pensions and IRA distributions. (I'm 66.)

A PA pied-à-terre seems like a good idea. It's closer than Florida, and I don't think you get as many hurricanes.

(If I can just stay out of NJ 1/2 of the year + 1 day, I would not be a NJ resident. I've done it before. I can do it again. :) )

“...nd I don’t think you get as many hurricanes...”

Well, we’re further inland, so they pretty much break up before they hit us with force.

Jersey doesn’t tax Social Security (yet) - you also get a pension deduction of up to 20k (and rising in years to come) if you meet income restrictions - some relief at least - I did my parents’ income taxes for the feds and Pennsylvania for several years - Penna income taxes were a nightmare to compute as I remember it.....
