I think the Permanent Fund payout was $1500 bux this year, but I didn't apply for it because I'm out of the state so much. It fluctuates with the fortunes of the fund's various investments. No state income tax either, although every time the price of oil drops the legislature screams about implementing one. Cost of living is very reasonable in a place like Haines or Homer, a bit more in Anchorage and downright ugly in the "Bush" (Nome, Barrow, Dillingham, Cold Bay).
Recently visited Freeport with an eye toward trading there. I was favorably impressed.

in a cool, tax free state......A few traders rent condos in the same complex, and it grows from there as others find out about it.......Many of us traders are young and single and can move where ever we want. Don't know about you guys, but it sucks not having other traders around.
IMHO:
Only rarely do I get up early for the open anymore, I think it's a bad idea to trade at the open anyway...only trade the last hour or so, which is now 10 - 11 AM Hawaii time, leaves a good chunk of the day free ....
Cost of living is higher, but not due to the tourists - that's a more complicated issue best left for another day
And for the record, there is no better place to live in than the good ole USA, safe within our borders....trust me, I've lived in other foreign countries, and it is no fun being a "guest" in someone else's country...as they are always TOO happy to remind you!
:eek:
thanks for the reply
tried to pm... but mailbox full.
Was thinkng about maybe coming down for a break in a month or so.. was thinking Nassau/Paradidse Island.. but after reading this forum thought maybe I'd visit in Grand Bahama and take a boat over to Paradise Island.
Wanted to ask you a couple things... how can I reach U
