The only thing I can find that's cheaper in NY is vehicle registration+tax. Everything else is more or a lot more than here. Maybe she'll magically end up with a big raise, but after a year and a half of hunting for any offer whatsoever I am expecting exactly zero more dollars - so a net pay cut after taxes.Detroit wrote:Agree.

Also just looked up income and sales taxes. NY makes zero sense. But I understand the whole career advancement thing. That's why I live in Meatchicken and deal with all the same issues along with insane car insurance cost.

Well, being at the HQ should open her up to more opportunities for advancement. Maybe not flat-out raises, but promotions to new levels of responsibility and whatnot. Especially with her experience at different manufacturing facilities, it seems to me that she should have solid opportunity if she makes the right connections.troyguitar wrote: ↑Tue Nov 20, 2018 9:15 amThe only thing I can find that's cheaper in NY is vehicle registration+tax.

It'll probably be a pay cut for a while, but I bet it'll be the right move in the long run.

That's the idea. Blow another 5-10 years in a shithole, then hopefully be in a position to determine our own destiny. By the time we hit 45 maybe we can live somewhere enjoyable, if there's anywhere left on the planet that hasn't been infected by xenophobia.Detroit wrote:Well, being at the HQ should open her up to more opportunities for advancement.

Maybe global warming will make NY and MI the new best places to live in 5-10 year. Then we'll have the last laugh!troyguitar wrote: ↑Tue Nov 20, 2018 9:28 amThat's the idea.

Good luck, Troy. My mom would help but she’s tied up as we speak.

Gotta burn all the coal to make the rust belt great again. That's a brilliant strategy. Flood out the coastal elites and make texas uninhabitably hot. Heartland murica is playing the long game, 4D chess style.

as to your original question:
Sell what you can. We did this when my wife moved in with me.
Patio furniture, inside shit, clothes, etc etc. Sell or goodwill (or similar) for tax write off. Have a garage/moving sale.
As a last resort put to the curb and post a curb alert on the list of craig...and wait for trash day.
Car shit/tools.... unless you have nice ass tool boxes I'd sell them and just go back to poverty tool box life. I worked out of three tool boxes that took up 4 cubic feet for YEARS just fine. Sure my setup now is nicer, but I don't NEED it all.
Lawn shit, sell if going with an apt.
Lastly...throw away. If you com up on shit you aint touched since your last move ~5 years back.... just throw. it. away.

I guess that's better but still not worth it to me. Water is still going to pool around leaves and snow. It'll find a way.
They are beautiful with floor to ceiling windows doe.

I’d rent because he doesn’t seem to want to go there so that tells me it’s temporary anyway.Detroit wrote: ↑Tue Nov 20, 2018 8:35 amThis isdubshow wrote: ↑Tue Nov 20, 2018 8:33 am dang,

Still, I'd rent in this market. Not a great time to buy or sell TBH.

FWIW, when I moved from my house to a townhouse and then from that to a smaller apartment, the phone apps OfferUp and LetGo were much better for selling stuff I wanted to get rid of than Craigslist was. Not as many people wanting to haggle you down in price.

I remember you mentioning your toolbox thing before and I'm quite how that works. A jack, jack stands, and ramps have to take up at least 4 cu ft alone without any other tools. Add in two sets of summer/winter tarz because upstate NY and you're looking at a pretty large volume of crap to even be able to minimally work on cars. I get the general idea and have really been spending the past year or so selling/giving/throwing away tons of stuff.Big Brain Bradley wrote: ↑Tue Nov 20, 2018 9:58 amtroyguitar wrote: ↑Tue Nov 20, 2018 8:51 am The next who buys it for $300k will be paying $1200 a month in taxes.

At this point I'm even considering selling the and replacing it with... nothing. I could chauffeur the wife to/from work in her car for <1 hr per day and have it to get my own shit done the rest of the time. to the max.

you are right, that jack and jackstands add to that. But still...even adding those in you are looking at something the volume of a large tote.troyguitar wrote: ↑Tue Nov 20, 2018 11:42 amI remember you mentioning your toolbox thing before and I'm quite how that works.

FWIW, i didn't have a jack and jackstands for a long time and lived that thug life working with a scissor jack. my 'jackstand' IE, anti-brad-crushing-device was the tire. Continued to do this even when i got a jack.
