Even my wife who has never waivered is talking about drastically downsizing our dream home to make it easier to sell so we can leave when we retire.

You probably pay 3 or 4 times the property taxes that I do. Makes a huge difference.

I sure as hell wouldn't live anywhere with an income tax if I wasn't tied down to a job.

We are strongly tied to family here and yes jobs for the most part too but even then it’s only worth it for so long.

I don’t cuss Mid-Westerners by lumping them with the Neo-Europeans from the Northeast and New England.

I have a 2000 sq ft home we bought for less than 50k and pay 1700 a year in taxes. If they had seen the upgrades we did to the inside we would be looking at 2500 or more is my guess.
My brother and I were looking at 400k lake front homes in Kentucky with less taxes than I currently pay.

I pay about 2k a year in taxes so about the same. I thought you were paying something like 6k a year. Taxes are that high in a lot of places.

Oh yeah. My cousin has a 2500 sq ft house with a 60x40 shop and like 10 acres. He pays over 6k a year.

I have a 1400 sq ft house at the beach in NC and my city and county tax combined are $1300.00

Yep. When we were in Missouri we had a 1500 sq ft home and paid $1300 and that was one of the more heavily taxed areas of the state.

I could handle that. Which I would say is very similar to the house we planned on building. We’d be looking at atleast double that. Probably triple.

Are there any reasonably priced cabins on the water up there?

Doubtful
I am into being secluded and being on the water is not my thing. Too many people around on the water.
