Another big plus for TV. If you're sitting at a club, nobody cares if you were the President of IBM or the guy who worked at IBM's mail room.
You, I came from Massachusetts where state income tax was over 5% and the property tax on my house was about $5,000. Here, zero income tax, and property tax under $1,000.
