"you in general have been making stuff up based on how you feel"

Not in the least. The averages you quoted are averages, they don't necessarily apply to any one individual. I know exactly what I pay in state income tax, and I have a great guess what we pay in sales tax.

I'm not making that up. You are desperately trying to make it un-true, because you can't accept the implications of the truth.

"your case is a very specific case of a persone who "telecomutes." "

Many white collar folks can telecommute these days. And while blue collar folks probably can't take their salary to SC, I'm not sue they can't take it to NH. I don't know.

"250K is an absolute bs lie unless you are in the million plus salary range "

I said 250k over 20 years. You showed that to get that (using your averages, which don't apply too me, my salary is above average), I wouldn't have to be anywhere near the million dollar range. And I'm not.

You keep going on and on about how here in CT, you'll have a house worth more. You have a crystal ball? You can see what real estate appreciation will be over the next 2 decades in CT and NH? There is a chance CT will completely collapse, as we are among the nation's leaders in population exodus every year. It's far from certain that CT real estate is a better investment than NH real estate.

"New Hampshire has taxes"

Of course they do. But it's a lot less, in total, than CT. It woul dbe hundreds of dollars a month for me. And more when the SALT deduction limits go into place, and more when my wife goes back to work, and more when UCONN's tuition goes up by 31% in the next 4 years. That is all fact. On top of that, I can make a great guess that CT will become more expensive relative to NH than it is today, because our debt will almost inevitably lead to massive tax hikes. When our tax base is shrinking, how else do you pay down $75 billion in debt, without tax hikes?

Your UNH estimate seems to include a few items (about 4k worth) that aren't in the UCONN estimate, and your UCONN estimate doesn't include this...

And I was assuming a triple room at UNH, cheaper...but that won't get me to savings of 84k with those numbers, you're right...

You can't compare UC to UNH. According to US news and world, UC is far, far better. (prob. bs of more state aid )

You are right, your salary would only need to be about $270,000 a year to save you 250k over 20 years. Sorry for the hyperbole. :fishslap:

I don't know, but I will guess...
Much better before he went there too? Was that a setup?:hs:

We are 20 Effing Trillion in Debt. Mostly as a result of Boomers. Your kid and my kid are going to pick up that tab.

Next year Trump is just going to declare bankruptcy and negotiate our debt. Mark my words. He's a master at this.

At the rate we are going - someone will. And when that happens, SHTF.

Amazing stat...
