I’m not sure you understood the question. By what you stated, you would be the perfect person to give a good answer.
Maine seems to be the hot place to retire to right now. My brother retired there and a bunch of friends as well. It doesn’t get as cold as you would think if you live by the coast. Not much snow either. Healthcare seems OK, but close enough to Boston if you really need something.
Good friend of mine is up there, he loves it but the “not much snow” is just a little bit off- he has 2 feet in his back yard already.
You’re right and this is why a hypothetical framed this way is stupid .
Depends where you live in Maine. My brother is by Bar Harbor. Nothing crazy there. Was just in upstate NY this weekend and western Catskills / southern Adirondack’s had 20”+. Literally the eastern side of the Catskills had nothing. Maybe a couple of inches on pavement but it’s all gone now.
I taught for a semester at the University of North Carolina. There were a lot of transplanted Yankees in the area (Chapel Hill, Raleigh, Durham, Research Triangle Park.) It was just as you describe it. I found the summer awfully hot, but your mileage may vary. I was also unlucky enough to be there the semester that Hurricane Fran hit. I remarked to a colleague that, "We northerners complain about snow, but you can shovel it and it melts in a few days. It's not so easy to deal with a tree that's fallen through your roof!" The apartment complex I was in did not lose water or power, but that was rare.
Well you have a family . Let’s say you just graduated and finished your football career at rutgers . 22 years old single male and you get a remote job . You might want to live in Hoboken.
It was 30 years ago, but at least in Wilmington, NC, there was a vocal group of people still fighting that war with little remarks. Yankee this, Yankee that. Nothing nasty, and not enough to bother us, but enough to notice and think WTF with some people, and just kinda weird. Maybe it's changed. It also may have changed, but remember NC had an "intangible property tax" on things like stocks and mutual funds. They get you with taxes one way or another.
If you are hunting in the Manasquan River WMA when you are a grandfather, don't shoot the old guy on the three-wheeled mountain bike. 😜
All part of the equation. Is it weird to say it would have been so much easier 20+ years ago when I was not in an interracial marriage.
For himself, not OP.
My sister has a special needs child and she also tells me there is no State in the country that provides services for these children than New Jersey
My sister lived in Texas was married and had children when see decided to move back.
I didn't know that about Sweeney and it's true. He himself has a special needs child. https://www.northjersey.com/story/n...-sidelines-nj-disability-champion/8651962002/
You mean, Norcross is a huge advocate for children with special needs and told Sweeney to use his power to make sure no one put them aside.
New Jersey pretty much stands alone. The opportunities for school age kids with severe disabilities are much broader here than anywhere else, from funded early intervention options, both public and private, beginning at age 3, all the way through vocational and residential options for clients 21 and over. NJ DDD's philosophy focuses on specificity and continuity of care through out the life span. No other state has such a broad, yet detailed, approach.
Whatever floats your boat.
That is my sister’s experience and her career has taken her to a number of places
Ahhh
Norcross has 2 special needs children in his immediate family. He in part selected Sweeney to be his tool in Trenton since he had the same connection. I will say both are honest men when it comes to this issue and have done plenty of good.
Seriously, between autocorrect, typing on mobile devices, etc, hoo wurrees about proppar grammerr and spelling on a foosball massage bored?
Probably the same people that swear they’re done with the football program bc of NIL, yet keep posting incessantly on a college football message board supporting said program
OP is about someone with a very particular set of circumstances that probably doesn't apply to anyone here.
I am in the same boat. Have guardianship for my youngest son, and would have to do that again if we move. My older children are likely to settle here (they have started their adult lives here) and we don't want to take my youngest away from his siblings (he goes where we go). So we stay even though we want to leave. When retirement rolls around in 10 to 15 years, we'll rethink things.
Not exactly accurate. It’s not a knock on New Jersey as they do have great opportunities for those children but so does Maryland. Between Kennedy Kreager and Sheppard Pratt (both tied in with Johns Hopkins) Maryland offers one of the most advanced programs in the country for those with disabilities.
