Americans are flocking to ‘low-income tax states’: Dave Ramsey 

The increasing prices have impacted my plan to retire at 62, work part-time, and save for the future. I'm concerned about whether those who navigated the 2008 financial crisis had an easier time than I am currently experiencing. The combination of stock market volatility and a decrease in income is causing anxiety about whether I'll have sufficient funds for retirement.

This is precisely why I like having a portfolio coach guide my day-to-day market decisions: with their extensive knowledge of going long and short at the same time, using risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying it off as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, their skillset makes it nearly impossible for them to underperform. I've been utilizing a portfolio coach for more than two years, and I've made over $800,000.

How can I reach this person?

Marisa Michelle Litwinsky’’ is her name. She is regarded as a genius in her area and works for Empower Financial Services. She’s quite known in her field, look-her up.

I checked Marisa up out of curiosity and i must say i am impressed by her Credentials. i emailed her already, waiting on her response.

Higher then Illinois? 🤔

They're even higher here in NH. But we don't have any state income tax or sales tax, government needs it's money from somewhere. I'd rather it come from that than directly from people's checks

Its still better than NY.

I think TX property taxes is about 3-4%. CA income tax is higher than that.

My $500k house in Dripping Springs ISD (Austin Area) was just under $1k per month in taxes. They were about to go over $12k annually before we left in 2019.

That is not going to happen their in fear Trump will run and win

Exactly. They are idiots pure and simple. They will pollute your state with their woke views. I think Florida will be in trouble next voting cycle.

@@co.sanders4871 Nope! Florida will not b in trouble when it's time to vote,!

@@jujuapple6706 The left is pouring money into TX thru a wide mouth funnel. They desperately want to turn Texas blue.

Honestly, the easiest deterrent/litmus test to this problem is reserving most of the privileges comes with residency by creating a very long waiting period to get residency e.g. 25 years, and forbidding the ownership of real estate and a special vehicle tax and state income tax that must be paid until residency is established. In addition, award a limited number of residencies each year. Since state residency is a voting requirement in most states, it will keep the cultural and legal outlook from changing drastically. These measures would for these transplants to really think over if they want to leave their home states or not.

You're always screwed if you don't own a property and the prices run away from you.

It's more that real-estate investment companies who have generally stayed out of places like florida have flocked here. So along with wealthy individuals and these investment agencies, have priced everybody out of homes. When you qualify for a loan at the appraised value and a company comes in and offers 5k more in cash, we just can't compete. Then they rent it out.

Lol, so effing true brother. Unfortunately it's mostly wishful thinking.

So true my freind better vote red

Unfortunately, they won’t, and unfortunately the states accepting them in aren’t turning down that sweet CA/NY money. At the very least limit voting in local elections for the first year of paying taxes.

@@Dominic-se9ny It was similar here in Czech Republic, just small business were closed for that threat of covid, but big companies, many of those gov billionaries were running, later workers even wo face masks, while you had keep face mask everywhere else and keep distancing. They were punishing only small one man business. Vaccine was publicly promoted with strong accent, it was almost compulsory. Finally some senators made complain thats not vaccine, as it doesnt protect. But billions in public social insurance were already lost in someone pockets. Same with rapid tests on covid, were compulsory for 2months, it was sold by single guy who made billions out of single Million that couple of weeks of government special exclusion of tests not needed to be approove by gov health bureau. Mafia, fraud, political dirt all around.. Stay strong, dont let them agree every BS. (for me it was just not able to go hairdresser, as I didnt want get vaccine, but as it proved to be ineffective, it was everything about discrimination and money)

You should look at overall taxes. Texas doesn't have an income tax for individuals, but it does have really high property tax. California has a very high income tax (13% and proposals to increase it to 18%), super high property tax, and moderately high sales tax. Moat the states with no income tax generally have low overall taxes.

I live in Mass. New Hampshire is no tax. The prices in total of mostly everything is the same, or oddly more in New Hampshire.

Well I grew up in CT and have lived in TX since 87 . No property tax is average or on the low side and I live in highest property tax city in TX .and what ? It costs a 100 bucks a year to register my truck and I buy new every year . Total BS .

Dependable economy??? With the clown administration???

The prime problem with EVs is that we're building them wrong. The car most of us actually need is: 1. Engine connected ONLY to a generator. 2. Engine used for 3 purposes and has three settings i.e. A. To charge the battery and run the electric motor(s). B. provide heat for the cab when necessary. C. provide heat for the battery when necessary. For point 2A, the engine runs at ONLY at the RPM and loading which maximizes its thermodynamic efficiency. 3. The battery should be plug-in and have a range of 50miles maybe up to 250miles depending on how long you want the battery to run. This is a trade-off of initial cost vs. "fuel" cost and use case. Why in the world are they making plug-in hybrids where the engine has a mechanical connection to the wheels. This introduces unnecessary cost and complexity and reduces reliability. Just stop this please!

@@douglasparvin2780 can't go West

I would argue the opposite. Income Tax screws people trying to get a leg up in the world, Sales Tax is just taxing consumption. Want to pay less tax? Consume less or produce more

@@priestesslucy3299 You could argue that. But, you would be very wrong. Those at the bottom rung of a capitalist society must spend everything they earn to survive. So, they pay whatever percentage the sales tax is established at toward the needs of the society (say 10%). Top earners, while they do spend more of their greater income, wind up only paying a fraction of their income in taxes (maybe less than 1%). A more fair tax would be a flat income tax with no sales tax where everyone pays the same portion of their income in taxes.

@@markteague8889 I don't actually mind the idea that every citizen pays the same base rate and heavy consumers are the only ones who pay more. A person making 200,000 per year isn't consuming any more social services than someone making 20,000 per year. Probably consuming less. But, when the person making 200,000 spends a lot more than the person making 20,000, they pay the taxes on that consumption as is fair.

@@priestesslucy3299 So, you would place the heaviest portion of the tax burden on those who are least able to afford it and call it fair? Policies like that are how you wind up with situations like those of the French Revolutionary Period (leading to the Reign of Terror). Antoine Lavoisier (who Louis had appointed to be the tax assessor for the city of Paris) was among those first to lose their heads to Madame La Guillotine.

@@priestesslucy3299 Furthermore, those with greater resources and wealth have the free time to scheme ways to avoid paying those taxes. I know of a well to do individual who had their brother who lived in another state purchase a very expensive vehicle in that state where the automobile property tax was levied at the time of year when property taxes were assessed. They then transferred the title in Tennessee where family members may transfer vehicle titles tax free. This was quite an expensive automobile ($250k, perhaps). So, this wealthy individual avoided paying even the consumption tax on their greater level of consumption.

He’s always been this way. He speaks in general terms and gives the same basic advice

You are correct as I live in Rock Hill

If you make 15K it's 7%. Is that pretty reasonable? (Plus significant sales and use taxes.)

@@peaceonearth8693 Not sure where you're getting that. SC tax on 15K is $530, so just over 3.5%. More importantly, that's not 15K gross income, it's 15K SC taxable income. For someone who's over 65, retired, and a full time resident, that's Federal taxable income, minus the Federally taxed portion of your Social Security, minus 15K. Someone retired and over 65 would need to be grossing well over 30K in addition to Social Security to have 15K in SC taxable income. Still, my main point was that Dave Ramsey was incorrect in saying SC has no income tax and we seem to agree on that.

TEAH HE REALLY SCREWED THAT UP AND NO ONE CORRECTED HIM!! SOMEONE NEEDS TO CORRECT THAT HERE

Texas property taxes are high too. I dont think texas is less expensive to move to.
