Apologies if i came off as passive aggressive . It wasnt my intention.
Im just sick of the fair weather users here who would only move if every single thing was lined up.
For me the move was easy decisionwise. I was done with MA due to covid, not 2a. I could tolerate the at the time gun laws.
My wife wanted to move more than me, so that made it a lot easier. Had she not then we probably would of eventually landed in NH.
And while were on NH, yes, NES portrays NH as some conservative bastion. Which its definitely not. Last time i was up the entire state (along with maine) was plastered in transsexual propaganda. Not really something i want to raise my kids around. Hell, we had to stop going to a NH restaurant we liked because the owner donated to drag queen story time featuring an active child sex predator. And you think said donator had a hint of remorse? Nope.
Ill be the 1st to admit the move was anything but easy (overall). It was pretty much a full ritualistic sacrafice on Denches entire professional life
Which f***ing sucks ass something fierce. When i say i lost my career im not bragging. It's more like greiving.
But we just couldnt handle it anymore.
Granted my wife had been able to find great work here, she makes over double what i do although she doesn't work full time since we're home schooling which has been another major sacrifice/change.
Moving pre retirement is pretty much a nightmare. So it has to make sense. That said at least half the reasons people give here on why they cant move north make no sense to me. All they have to do is face the truth which is they prefer the benefits MA has over what other states. And theres nothing wrong with that.
Before we moved to FL we were offering on houses north of concord. The commute sucked and we eventually couldnt afford it, even back in 2020. Pretty wild to think 90k a year cant buy you a house worth buying north of concord. Now its probably 2x worse, the prices and taxes are insane.
