If you could live anywhere

Quote from Copernicus:

20s Single - Miami
30s kids, etc - Boca Raton

cant beat the lifestyle and no state taxes.

outside of US, probably costa brava or somewhere on the Adriatic in a seaside mansion..

No offense, but all that hype about no state income taxes, they just make you pay in other ways.

For example, my friend lives in Ft. Lauderdale, not on the beach either, and he is paying 10k a year on a 500k house for property taxes and insurance. My nice house in Denver Metro is $3700 a year for the same. Granted my house is not worth 500k, but you get the picture. Other ppl I talked to in Miami are getting screwed on homeowners insurance as well.

Don't get me wrong, I have thought about a vacation high rise condo in Panama City, just for warm water access, just have to look at the big picture cost, not a simple savings on state taxes.

No, but plenty of ice and cooler boxes available. Its not my boat, its a friend of mine, who rents it out with a fishing guide and all the tackle etc.

Ha Ha, my wife is Dutch and the picture was taken by the guy who owns the boat.

youre right, except for the hurricanes all summer.


even the threat of hurricanes making you board up the house with hurricane shutters and then taking them down when nothing happens, only to put them right back up again the next week...

I miss it, but those 4 hurricanes that hit a couple summers ago destroyed any idea of living there long term for me

lol it sucked so bad...


my wife and I were living off canned tuna, we couldnt leave the house as there was no gas, the traffic lights didnt work and NO A/C

We love it there (especially Coconut Grove and Coral Gables) but after weeks on end with no A/C I could never convince my wife to ever move back :(
