    I love snow! It's wonderful! But only if there's more than 36 inches of it, it's on a mountain and it's only underneath my skis:D

    I moved from Hbg in 1999 to Raleigh NC. The weather is unbeatable, plus beaches mountains and lots of cool lakes and trails and things like that.

    The thing I noticed when I left PA the last time I was visiting my mom was how grey it was. Just having it sunny most days makes a huge difference in my mood.

    Downside is NC rapes you with taxes so maybe keep going to SC or down to FL.

    I'm no tax expert, but the intangible tax is not an income tax. It is a tax on assets you own such as stocks. I believe in Florida it only kicks in if you have $100,000 or more, and even then it is only like one percent (or possibly less?). I don't recall if the rate is progressive, though I imagine it probably is.

    If I remember correctly, Florida intangible tax is $1 per thousand on Stocks and Bonds (cash, cd's, retirement plan assets, and any Florida muni's are exempt). Applied to holdings on January 1.


    Individual Filers - The first $20,000 of total taxable assets are exempt. Assets above $20,000 are taxed at $1 per thousand dollars of value.

    Joint Filers - The first $40,000 of total taxable assets are exempt. Assets above $40,000 are taxed at $1 per thousand dollars of value.


    Here are the details :
