Moving from Illinois to Washington state was good, saved us a ton every year on state income tax and property tax.
Moving from WA to Florida shows clearly how well run this republican low tax state is. No state income in FL as well. And the property tax on a similar condo is 1/4th of what we paid in WA state. Yes, from $2800 down to $700/year. And the sales tax is 33% lower. The highways and rest stops in FL are the best I have seen in lower 48 states. The DOL is almost fun to visit and has fast service.
But one has to tolerate lots of old people driving cars erratically in Florida.
Hey! I ain't that bad. ;o( At least they haven't put me on silver alert yet. (I discovered that's a statewide geezer alert for seasoned citizens who are lost, demented and still driving.)
we are drowning in property tax in Washington.....
“””But one has to tolerate lots of old people driving cars erratically in Florida.”””
And a lot of us old people have to tolerate young whippersnappers who think they are Parnelli Jones.
Rule of the Road #1 in Florida...
Never trust another car's turn signal!
Who you calling old, pal? :)
