We moved from CT to TV last year and gave a very brief thought to maintaining a 2nd home in CT or Cape Cod. The cost of the 2nd home along with having money tied up in it had us deciding to spend the money here and get a house a little larger with more upgrades. The overriding issue with making a clean break from CT was the taxes. Our tax burden is now 40% of what it was when we lived in CT. That extra cash can go a long way in retirement.
