RE: 1/4 Oz - Show Us Your California - Week 12

And why are you moving? I guess going from one paradise to another is not a bad thing, espically if it allows you to keep a little more of that green stuff in your pocket. It has to cost a pretty good buck to live where you are presently hanging your hat.

Oil rigs all over the place, that is not a sight you see every day.

Good morning thebigsweed, happy Saturday! Interesting oil rig placement yeah?

There’s a couple of things I’m trying to avoid, Sweed. Did you know?....

  • 2 years abroad means none of my Local pensions can be taxed anymore, after two years. (That’s a little over half my income tax free)
  • 2 years abroad and and your SSi taxes change from 12% on 100% of your earning to 7% of “up to” (key words - “up to”) 50% of your earnings. That’s a huge savings!

Now there’s a couple of insane things to fathom, for starters, no IRS, nope! The IRS is just a USA thing. I love it there, Sweed. The people are statistically the nicest there compared to anywhere in the world, other than Bali. Well then, I have to see Bali cuz I don’t think humans can be any kinder. Restaurants in CR don’t bring you your check, you have to ask for it and it’s gonna be another 30 minutes until you get it. Because time doesn’t matter down there my friend, everyone has it. Can you imagine being surrounded by humans with time?

Then there’s something basic like ‘income.’ Going from a land where $1,550/month for a 420 square foot studio apartment is comfortable to a land where average income of less than half of that at $700/month. I can’t wait! Plus... I haven’t had a German Shepherd for nearly 6 years now, wait’ll you watch that progression, his name will be Knight, can’t wait!!

Thanks a lot for stopping by @thebigsweed! Hey, I see Robin posting a little often, congratulations! I’m looking forward to getting it know her. She’s your wife, she must be stellar. 😉
