Perhaps it depends what you are buying. If I am buying groceries, I pay more here in Florida than I do in Massachusetts. However, if I go to a restaurant I pay more in Ma.

This is really a generalization since a state as large as California has significant differences in the cost of living depending where you live. For example, the average cost of home in San Francisco is $1 million whereas in Modesto it is $200k. Also, I am sure you can find significant differences in Florida as well between parts of Lake County and Miami.

About a $100 bucks + in most states!

Big error concerning TN. There is no State Income tax in TN. They have it listed as being 6%. Now there is a 6% tax on investment income that is not in a qualified account or a TN State Charter Bank. Just goes to show you that these surveys often have lots of miss facts in them.

Confirmed what I already knew. CT and NY are good states to be from!!!

Taxes in NY were horrendous and CT was even worse. It blew my mind there was a property tax on cars in CT so I always had an older car. Taxes in Westchester County in NY were very expensive. My cousin was paying 12,000 a year for her house. A friend of my brothers, was paying $50,000, but he was a millionaire.

For the most part, a $100 doesn't go very far. I used to feel that $100 was standard for taking the car in, for repairs. Heck, even an oil change was $50 minimum.
