“And do not go around lamenting to others how hard it is for you to live in this world. To do so is an act utterly unbecoming to a worthy man.”

In my not-so-humbe-opinion, that mans an ass! Wife comprehends this stuff, but all I know is that there are only a handful of states left that are retiree tax friendly,
California used to be “okay”, but now our taxes on retirement income has TRIPLED! We used to get breaks and discounts. Not anymore!
It’s more expensive to live here, than Hawaii! Ca. is THE most expensive state to live in. We’re looking at Eastern Tennessee, Missouri, and Kansas. Tennessee being our best bet.
With the equity we have in this house, we can buy a house there, with cash, and still walk away with 50K. That’ll save us $3,000/month. Dunno what currency you use, but that’s WELL over our net income!

Has anyone else noticed the quote feature malfunctioning? The poster’s quote does not copy inside my reply. I have to go back and do it again in edit mode.

@muth it’s a function of the forum software, and is time based. It appears as if someone posts, and you quote and reply, sometimes the software THINKS it is too soon, and will “confuse” people (LOL), it removes the quote. IF however, more time has passed since the OG post which was quoted, it lets the quote slide.
