Move to a State with no income tax.

Don't fool yourself on that one. I moved from Colorado which has a state income tax to Texas which does not. The state gets its money either way. No income tax = higher property and sales tax.

Look at the tax situation another way. Colorado taxes you on the money you make, Texas taxes you on the money you spend. I’ll take our “no state income tax”.

Agreed, sometimes it doesn't work. For us, moving from MN to WY was a huge savings, no income tax, sales tax is slightly less in WY and property tax, well that is a HUGE savings.

However, where we live, groceries are higher, but it is something that we are aware of and plan for.

Plus something there is something Wyoming has that MN doesn't and there is no price tag for. FREEDOM !!! MN is such a socialist state !!
