Reply to comment by frissonFry in CT number 1 in taxes? by dubauoo

I moved to CT from VT. My life is better in every way in CT. My families salary nearly doubled, I actually live on a much more quiet and peaceful area (lived on rt 4 in VT and now live in the quiet corner) and my cost of living is basically the same (got kinda lucky buying my house at a low point in housing prices). And, I'm only 2 hours from VT and can visit as often as I like. There is a saying in VT, "you can't get there from here" and it is for real. People complain about traffic and driving in CT, but I had to travel 45 min just to get to the nearest decent grocery store. Obviously your milage will vary, but for me I'm much happier in CT.

I have a friend who moved out of Vermont for that very reason. There was only 3 ways they would get to their job and two were usually heavily trafficked due to construction and would take an hour to get to work. They also lived 20 minutes from the closest grocery store. If there was something going on with the road, they SOL.

I'm not saying I'd choose VT over CT, I was just answering the parent comment.
