Say you’re offered a job that pays $325K, and you can work anywhere within the U.S. (remote job & team with occasional travel to meet team). Where would you live and why? Obviously “it depends” just curious to see the range of responses from this group!

Miami/Fort Lauderdale area. Great weather, (relatively) low property prices, major airports and no state income tax.

likesmart

Miami is too corrupt and overpriced. Besides the beach, there isn't much to do to enjoy nature with the lack of parks. And the beach is to be avoided at all costs during major holidays/spring break anyway.

This is the right answer. A closer look at California’s budget and you’ll see what your tax dollars are being wasted on. It boasts our nation’s highest income tax rate and many of its cities have some of the highest sales tax rates as well (e.g., 9.5% in LA, 10.25% in some nearby cities).

I can’t move out right now because of family. But if I can move to Texas, I save 10% of my income in taxes, pay lower prices for almost everything (goodbye $4 gas), and don’t have to see hobos everywhere I go.
