LOL! Yeah, one of the reasons we bailed when I got laid off/retired was the weather. I lived in Tampa in the early ‘50’s then again 69 - 70 in the Navy then again from 86 to 2011 at KSC. Got laid off 8/26/11 and we arrived in Reno 9/13/11. Also lived in NM and graduated high school there. We considered retiring there but the state has gotten considerably more lib over the years and there’s a state income tax.
I don’t know why people freak at NM state income tax. It is like 2% and there are so many deductions and the like it comes out to a ridiculous amount. I think mine was $160 last year.
In Florida my property taxes on a 1,200 SF house were $6000 a year. Here on a 3,000 SF house they are $3500 a year.
I’ll pay a little income tax...
