well Ive pondered this for awhile,I was thinking of going to the colville area,we love it there.But when thinking about retirement and how far my money will go,its looking like Idaho..this is a beautiful state,but I see no changes for it in the future as far as taxes and hunting and fishing..A lady was with her child in a park in Seattle and a group of cyclists were riding buck naked on the path they were walking on..The police can do nothing,its legal..this is crazy :bash:
-
I answered "yes I am going to" simply because I will not retire in this state. Once I'm retired it will either be back home to Montana, over to Idaho or will simply move to Alaska as i've always wanted. Not sure where my wife will be moving to........ :yike: :chuckle:

We have talked about heading east to get away from the congestion. Both of our lines of work can be anywhere accounting and Heavy Equipment/CDL so we have taked about Idaho or montana. We hate the population growth here but I think we would have a hard time being so far from family we are both close with our parents especially his mom who lives a few miles from us and we see almsot everyday. If it keeps getting worse it will probably happen.

I already did! :IBCOOL: Actual trophy elk down here in AZ... Fortunately the Indians are too consumed with alcoholism to be able to poach elk all year long :)

Accounting? my condolences :chuckle:

Lots of job security, too. Plus, once you get that big time job at a firm, you'll have all day long to post on this forum during the summers!
On the exam, I just overstudied... that way I didn't have to retake any sections.
-
ah ha so you are a guilty culpret as well. Ya I am nervous for the exam... I guess only 33% of people ever pass it. Is it really as hard as they make it out to be. I have breezed through every accounting class I have taken with A+ I mean obviously I will study my ass off but if you do werll in school and study is it really that scary or is more hype. Im really just getting going on it.. I have been working in the accounting field for 3 years and have taken accounting classes to help me excel at work but I am just now getting to work on my Business Trasfer degree so Im a waze away from taking the test. Was just curious from someone who has taken it. :jacked: Sorryu about that guys I know thats pretty off topic
-
PM sent.
-
as soon as im old enough im thinkin about montana or wyoming. i just dont know what i would do there for a job so i have to figure that part out yet...

And Alaskans don't feel the same way as you do about everybody that moves up there????? :dunno:

I actually don't care so much about the nudists as I do the stupid politics and waste of money and meth and gangs and illegals..... and public nudity is a ticket worthy crime....last I checked unless it was in conjunction with the one day event of nude bicycling.....
we lived in Idaho for 4 years and I am too much a born and bred native of the wetside to leave.....I am stuck dealing with it this is my home where there are forests and mountains and saltwater at my fingertips.....I love this place and wish it wasn't being screwed by idiots who claim to love it but then want to change it :bash: :bash:
-
Sure wish I could. But in my line of work this is where the money is. And a good climate to work year round.
Most of the states I would consider living in are right to work states................LOW WAGES :(
-
Yep. Mom and stepdad retired back to Montana a few years ago. As soon as I find the right opportunity over that way I'm out. I would also consider Idaho or Wyoming if got an offer I couldn't refuse.

It is now legal to be naked in the parks,this wasnt the ballard bash.there is a place for everything puplic nudity doesnt hurt me..but being a 3 foot tall child with men running around naked???
-
So.... it is okay to be naked in public in Seattle but you have to be 4 feet from a naked woman in a age restricted, hidden from public eyes, strip club? That aint right.

Since when? I could see maybe designating a specific park/beach but all parks....I don't know how that can be possible.....can you direct me to the law?
damn all this time I was wearing clothes in the heat and ...well :chuckle: :chuckle:

wheres the "already did" option
-
Before You contemplate out of state for retirement. Consider the no income tax in Washington. Most states would have cost me about $65k in taxes on my last 5 years of retirement income.
-
I would consider Idaho but my parents,kids and grandbaby are here. I am stuck for now. Mark
-
i moved here on purpose.
:dunno:
the simple facts are that there aren't too many other places in this country that offer most people the opportunity to make a decent-great living and have the outdoor opportunities we have here. if you could move anywhere just based on where's the best place to live for hunting then thats one thing, but for most, you need to make an income as well...it doesn't happen in too many other places like it does here.
i don't like the government and there's things i don't like about our hunting and fishing issues we have here but there's a lot worse in other states...trust me, i've been there. my family will move to eastern washington at some point, but not right now.
if you don't like the californicators moving here, then how do you think the alaskans feel about washingtonians moving there? probably the same way as you feel about the californians.
:dunno:
-
I like Idaho too. The seasons, the tax benefits, the people, all of it. If I had to move, it would be there.
-

I do get discouraged about the politics at times, but jackelope hit the nail on the head for the most part.....it could be a lot worse, and there are very few states that have the varied amount of hunting, freshwater and saltwater fishing. :twocents:

well said.
I love it too much to move, just wish I could send away many of the lib's in the area...
-
Love the state!
Do not like: The 206 invasion, Ron Simms, multi season permits, the subaru crowd
-
well... ron simms is gone. whats a 206 invasion?
-
Im happy about Simms being gone. Its The development in the Seattle metro area that really started booming in the 90s. Cheap cookie-cutter housing springing up everywhere created alot of good jobs but brought a lot of people into this state.
-
i agree, except for the cheap part.
-
I am hoping by this time next year I will be in Montana. My sister is there....all I need to do now is get out from under my mortgage and I very well could be on my way.
-
Armidillo I gota call you out on the Subaru's They make Great Hunting rigs. My brother and i prefer the 79-86 vintage with the hi-low transfer case. with stock tires they get 30mpg and for hunting you slap 30in tires on and they're UNSTOPABLE!!!!. one slight modification is nessary. You MUST reroute the exhaust through the hood. It keeps you from snagging on any rock stumps or downed trees when you going x-county to retrieve yer game :rockin: :rockin:
-
Oh I have nothing against the cars themselves, great design, lots of room, reliability, performance. Its the crowd of people who put stickers saying "PETA" on the bumper that I have a problem with. I can see how that would make an excellent huntin outfit
-
Nothing makes a bunny hugger from Issaquah go nuts like an animal strapped to the roof, then walking into Krispy Cream for Coffie and a Dougnut. :stirthepot:
-
Born and Bred in Washington State, this is where I plan to live the rest of my undeployed life. Everything's perfect here, excluding the current political environment, which we can change. Change we can believe in! Hutchison for King County Exec!
-
It's not the stae I don't like... I was born and raised here... I would love to stay here if it was what it was when I was born but it's too congested on the Wet-side I grew up in Redmond and when I was born there were maybe 2 dozen stop lights? Last time I looked it up (2 years ago) there were 458 just in the city of Redmond! I miss when Redmond was reffered to as a town and it wasn't a mini metropolitan addition to seattle & bellevue. I just want out of the congestion. The rest of it I love.. well maybe minus the politics but that can be changed come election time ;)

:dunno:
I think its different in Alaska... the people (for the most part) simply want to be left alone, and people who move the there pretty much want the same thing. The californians moved for different reasons... (similar state, different taxes, laws), and then want to change the area to be more "californian"... I'm looking at Idaho (since I've already built a house there), but I do worry about the income tax that hits your retirement every year (or at least so I was told)...
I've been to fairbanks, and it can get so remote, it feels almost deadly... (makes the hair on my neck stand up), but I would love a hunting trip up there.

Nothin makes the donut taste sweeter then the look on their face

Lots of good points about staying or going, I being a lifetimer too love the fact this State really is unique in the fact it has evrything in one state that the country has as a whole, Desert, to rain forrest. Mountians to prairies and everything in between. And as a far as wildlife well near as I can figure the only thing we don't have is alligators other than that we have just about every animal here that the entire country has. While some aren't huntable numbers( Caribou, antelope) they're here.
The Gov't SUX bad and treats us all as advesaries instead of working with us. And I am not as hopeful about that changing when on county can control how an vote goes statewide.
I'm stuck here at least til my kids' Grand parents move on to the next life. Then who know's may just try and move East of the Mountains and retire.
