I have been trying to read this and stay quiet... but that is not possible...

I mentioned it in previous threads, and I'll say it again...

Those reports on NH tax burden are so [full of it].

We got fed up with NH taxes. we were payng $15000/year.
We moved to Scottsdale, AZ, have been here for a year, and our RE tax bill is $400/year for like valued property. Yes, thats $400 with 2 zero's.

I worked in MASS, actually still do, and so I paid an extra $180/yr in income tax to AZ... big whoop.

what's left?

sales tax ... wow, I would have to go on quite the spending spree, to make up $14000 in sales tax

The point I am trying to make is; if you own property of any significant value in NH ... you are taking it up the poop shute paying the NH taxes.

if you have a 6 digit income ... kewl for you... pay those taxes. But when you retire, I hope the market was good to you, because if your income falls from 6 digites to 4 digits - there goes your savings, right into the hands of the 30 or 40 people who actually show up to vote on how to spend it.
