Pie for someone else tomorrow. The commies governing CA utilities have forced the usual monthly shutdown to have an affordable energy bill. Ran the numbers for retirement today. Close but not quite a cigar. I'd need a state with no state income taxes and where 2 could survive comfortably on 36-40K pre-tax. 5 more years till SSI, if it exists kicks in. I'm open to suggestions. Must be CC or open carry firearms tolerant state.

I dream of Texas. LOL.

NH pal..The 36-40K pre tax is a bit of a stretch but no state income taxes and as to guns, they are like Mother's milk here.

LOL... that's what I meant by "not quite a cigar!!!" It seems the median income in most states hovers closer to 50K.

If besides that you have enough to buy a home( VERY nice homes in the $225-300 range) you could get by on 40K..
Do a little side work here and there to add in a few $$$..
Northern NH property taxes are minimal, here on a $250K home they are almost $5000/year..BUT thats it, no other taxes.

LOL... I suppose I should have specified that I'm not desperate to retire. I just want to vote with my feet and get the F out of this state as soon as possible!!! If the numbers I ran were correct, a menial $10-12 an hour job should get me to a more livable $50K.

I hear ya Otis!!!

except Texas isn't "firearms tolerant", it's more "firearms mandatory". Beards are also highly regarded, I believe.

Ah... not so much mandatory. I didn't get my first gun till Christmas of 2000. I was already 10 for crying out loud! (Although, getting my CHL this summer... )

And idk where the beards thing came from... wish it were true though, this I'd let this goatee would get more substantial if that were the case...

[trn]

I'd consider recommending FL but we have enough retirees already so stay the hell away

Controller Releases April Cash Update

SACRAMENTO – State Controller John Chiang today released his monthly report covering California's cash balance, receipts and disbursements in April, showing monthly revenues came in $2.44 billion below (-20.2 percent) the latest projections contained in the Governor's proposed 2012-13 Budget.

"The task of crafting a credibly-balanced budget has been made more difficult by a nine-month revenue shortfall of $3.5 billion," said Chiang. "Without a timely, financeable budget plan, the State will be unable to access the working capital needed to pay its bills later this year."

The greater part of the April shortfall was caused by personal income tax receipts, which came in $1.96 billion below (-21.5 percent) projections. Sales taxes were also down by $445.8 million (-54.4 percent). Corporate taxes were also down, coming in $142.7 million (-9.3 percent) below projections.

Year-to-date through April, total revenues were down $3.5 billion (-5.1 percent) from estimates in the Governor’s proposed budget. Leading that disparity was income tax, down $2.7 billion (-6.2 percent). Sales tax missed estimates by $411 million (-2.7 percent), and corporate tax receipts were down $464 million (-7.0 percent).

The State ended last fiscal year with a cash deficit of $8.2 billion. The combined current-year cash deficit stands at $19.2 billion. Those deficits are being covered with $12.8 billion of internal borrowing (temporary loans from special funds) and $6.4 billion of external borrowing.

For more details, read April 2012's financial statement and summary analysis.

On a serious note, how does a Professional Revenue Projector miss a revenue projection by 55 freaking % and still have a job?

Because too many voters don't pay attention.
