Most people here don’t realize what people are spending in other states. 8 years ago, I met a lady that lived in Connecticut and had a decent nice house (my house in the south at that time was 2x bigger, had more land, custom, and I was paying $4,000), and they were paying $30,000 in property taxes.
How is your social security taxed here? There is no income tax here.
One can't just pick the worst numbers states, include all the states in your comment and include fees and other than tax expenses.
