I was thinking more along the lines of TN...no state income tax at all, and property taxes are low because government is small...unlike here in Florida...
Don’t worry, we will soon be loaded with nuclear power.
but electricity, gas for your car, presciptions, food, clothes, etc will be more expensive.....
the main thing really is staying close enough to your kids and grandkids...that is the only reason I would move from my 5 acres in the country....
