That is unless someone gave you a small loan of a million dollars to start a business back int he 1980's. New Hampshire has taxes. They don't have income tax so they make up for it with other taxes. They have to pay for stuff. Their state university is almost identical, if not higher than UCONN. Stop misinterpreting or making things up than pretending I am off on this.

"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?
