    How the hell are we supposed to retire?

    If you moved from NJ to NC, you likely established domicile in NC. It's the so called nomads that stay out of the state but have not established a domicile in a new state that continue to be taxed as residents.

    How the hell are we supposed to retire?

    Days in, days out is more of a tie-breaker than a finite rule. The rule is domicile: you are resident to where you ultimately return. You can do lots of travelling, spend lots of time outside of NJ (or any state) but state income tax auditors focus on domicile. How do you prove domicile...

    Has anyone jumped on this "free" solar energy thing?

    Has anyone jumped on this "free" solar energy thing?

    Has anyone jumped on this "free" solar energy thing?

    I had a solar array installed in January this year. The 30% Federal income tax credit expires December 31st, so the break-even point changes dramatically and it takes six to eight months to get the installation, permits, inspections.

    Snake Bite, be careful out there

    I have encountered and biked over several snakes. They seem unfazed by wide knobby low PSI tires but I definitely feel the speed bump on the road bike.
