My intention is to retire in a few years and get the hell out of here. Most of my family has moved, which was why I was originally reluctant to move. Now the only reason is my excellent job/income that would be hard to replace at my age.
I hear ya but your housing taxes and/or rent and other expenses (car tax, gas, public transportation, etc). are eating into that very same salary. Once we left NY I never looked back.
