The cost of living in New Haven, CT is 19.0% higher than in Houston,
TX.
And most people moving to CT get an average raise of 5.1% lowering the
standard of living 13.9%.
Plus you live in a climate that only allows you to sail half the year,
lowering the quality of life by 50%.
You have a state income tax, we do not.

Our sales tax is 6%. If you knew anything about how taxes work, you'd
know that the percentage by itself doesn't mean much of anything.
Politicians can raise taxes by enormous amounts without changing that
percentage. You are paying a much larger percentage of your income in
taxes than I am.

Oh, and you are right that if an uneducated Texas day laborer moves to
Connecticut, he will probably only get a 5.1 % raise. We really don't
want, or need, to attract you to come here. Where would you live?
You'd have a much harder time finding a trailer park. We don't really
have very many compared to Texas.

This is a list of the 100 richest places in the United States,
regardless of population or number of households. These rankings are
typically not used when describing the richest places, because
locations with very small populations may have high per capita incomes
due only to a few high-income individuals.

Ranking of states with places in the top 100, from most to least: New
York 16, Florida 15, California 14, Texas 6, Illinois 5, Missouri 5,
Pennsylvania 4, Michigan 3, Minnesota 3, New Jersey 3, Wisconsin 3,
Delaware 2, Indiana 2, Kansas 2, Kentucky 2, Maryland 2, North
Carolina 2, Ohio 2, Washington 2, Alaska 1, Arizona 1, Colorado 1,

should or could afford to take the job given the difference in the

That weekend it snowed in Windsor. Snow in May? No more struggling,

It is very pretty country though, in the townships not the cities.

My favorite part of this thread is that the subject line was "You POOR

like you can't remotely afford Connecticut. That's absolutely fine

You'll note that people in Connecticut never go out of their way to
correct anyone who thinks he's a Texan. It's an embarrassment. Saying
he's a "dumb Texan" is so easy to sell.

I would say it's impossible to maintain the same standard of living in
Connecticut. Most places are crowded & dirty, poster settings for
"urban decay" yet with very high rents.

Somebody should explain to Binary Bill what "per capita" means. The
average personal income in eastern Connecticut is so high because of
all the Wall Streeters who have homes there and are flown into the
city by private helicopter every morning. Meanwhile, everybody else is
pretty much stuck in a rut.... they aren't even allowed to drive thru
the neighborhoods which jack up the average so much.....

Good call IMHO.
Back in the mid-90s I started getting job offers from some big
companies, usually headquartered in Jersey bust ome in NYC. They
offered twice what I was making here in NC, a few even tossed in
corporate incentives; in no case was I seriously tempted. I may have
been in the rat race down here, but I don't have to go home to a rat
pit at the end of the day.

Another issue of course is that my wife is very content with her
career at a world-renowned university medical center.... we were
slightly tempted a few years ago when she got a very very generous
offer from an equally renowned place in Cali, and I shopped for (and
got) a job offer out there too. But a walk in the woods with the dog
convinced there was nothing out there... not even sailing on SF
Bay.... worth the added hassles.


It is very pretty country though, in the townships not the cities.


As long as you don't have to drive in the traffic, most of NW
Connecticut is very pretty. That's one reason why the Indians are
buying it back!
