Not now-but the 700 I paid for car taxes in CT is not charged in FLMy electric bill is usually 100 in the summer. It was higher in CT. No state income tax or property tax-over 8000 in CT. My oil was 200 per month on budget plan in CT. Easy choice.I moved from New England to Florida because of the taxes and heating costs.I lived near Central Florida for 10 years, right before moving up to New England.I don't miss that! In central Florida, I have not turned on the heat in two years.
and added up... Dade and Broward for another 10 years....
I don't miss my AC ...electric bills which were very high, especially for the summer....
It's kind of the complete opposite up here.... in the spring summer and fall, our windows are open most of the time, no use of AC at all...unless a heat wave shows up but mostly the nights in summer can be mid 50's to mid 60's,which cools down the house nicely.and during the summer days, we may,,, if lucky, hit 75 to 80 degrees, inland might get warmer, but I am on the ocean, less than a mile... which is cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter due to the water in the ocean... than most of inland Maine.
so all the big bucks spent on heating or cooling is spent in the winter, summers are cheap... electric runs around $60 bucks a month.... we have no electric water heater and tank, it runs off of the oil furnace.... thank GOD summers are cheap! Cuz the costs in winter damn near puts us in bankruptcy!
and gained other taxes and AC cost!
you don't own property?
