I used to live in NYC and left. I decided to cut contact with a lot of people. Out of curiosity, i decided to try and maintain a minimum contact level with some of the old acquaintances i had. Holy hell, these people are absolutely insane, not just the family members, but everyone. There's this very real attitude that you need to grind and be enslaved to debt and work to be considered successful. I'm just there thinking no, im not gonna slave away for some stupid certs, or whatever, just because someone else is jealous i have too much free time. Im very happy where i am now, low cost of location, no black people, minimal costs, low property taxes. Why in the hell would i want to move BACK to a place which is high tax, diversity central, super high price, with taxes all over the place?

You were born to do more than pay taxes and die.

Yeah i was talking to an old adviser i knew, the guy thought the money savvy thing is for me to just gift him a 100 grand to start a business. Like, are you high?

The plan is always "give me money" for those who don't have a plan.

It got pretty scary too, he was like simply leverage your house and get a loan thats 7 times the size and use that to gamble on the markets. So let me get this straight, you sit comfy in your chair, meanwhile i have to go into an insane amount of debt to fund your lifestyle?

Bush/Obama worked hard to sabotage Florida's tourist industry by changing the foreign ownership tax rules. Many investors sold off their American assets after that and pulled their money out of the US.

Could that be a good thing, fewer foreigners is always better.

Agree, foreigners shouldn't be allowed to own American soil.

Yeah but it was all of the tax revenue generated from the foreigners that paid all of Florida's bills.

It's also why it is so cheap to live in Florida.

Like how Vegas pays for Nevada.

They have to get the money from somewhere.

In Florida, foreign residents pay double property taxes on their condominiums.

That's a lot of cash.
