I told him he should stay in MT, and I stand by that suggestion.
For me, and all those young people considering the move to NH, I bought my house up in NH 5 years ago when I was 30 years old. I do not work in MA or for an industry or employer that is affiliated with MA, and neither does my wife or most of the people I associate with for that matter. Since you are so interested in the economics of living in NH, we are ahead every year since moving due to our lower overall tax burden, and my property value has appreciated significantly since my purchase due to our semi-private high school ranking nationally last year. We don't care much about the travel time to my family in MA or NJ, because on the occasion it is necessary to see them, we do. 2 hour drive or 6 hour drive, doesn't matter. We happier in life with less government involved in our day to day, and it is way more then guns. If you don't understand what I am talking about, and this isn't some kind of attack, you are the type of person who should stay put in MA. There is more to life then property value, hour + commutes to go 30 miles, douchy MA elitist attitude, begging for permission to sneeze in your own driveway, etc. Living free-er is worth what ever it is you seem to think we gave up moving out of MA.
As far as butt hurt, you are the one asking me to justify my life while cheer leading for MA here like you are clinging to the time you could have taken states if coach would have put you in.
