If you can't afford a few thou in taxes, your days are probably numbered no matter where you go. Good luck, and AMFs!

Lived here for 50 years, Like I said it's not for me anymore and my financial situation drastically improves when I leave the state. I'm not alone in this belief, but I do understand the attraction of Ca. I no longer believe you are getting what you pay for, and that is my opinion that will obviously be different than yours. I respect everyone that wants to stay it's an individual choice which is what makes this country great!
This info was taken from the Orange County Register and has been documented in numerous other publications. So I'm not alone in my thought process. Again for the younger crowd it's probably very desirable to live in Cali, I get that. but this dynamic is getting worse for Ca every year.
5. Retiree moves: Of folks moving to California via United Van, retirement was cited as the motivation by 9.6 percent vs. 20.7 percent of departing Californians who said they were relocating for retirement. That outmigration gap was ninth worst among the 48 contiguous states. Least popular? Rhode Island. Biggest draw? Florida.
6. Silver selections: Just to be sure, I checked movement among the 65-plus crowd via United: That demographic represented 20.7 percent of moves to California but 26.2 percent of outbound relocations. That outmigration gap was sixth worst among the states. Worst? Rhode Island. Best? Vermont.
To my eye, the two studies indeed do add up. The California lifestyle that Wallethub liked on paper isn’t worth it to United Van’s older customers when the bills come due. And that conclusion is probably true for a good-sized slice of the state’s population.
