Thanks,

Goddamnit, you are going to Anchorage and you are going to like it!!

 

[WorldOnTime]

Goddangit, you are going to Anchorage and you are going to like it!!

Oh yeah, sorry. No I don't know anything about it.

 

[twiceskunkeddog]

I know, you know, and my wifey-poo knows it, but she's a shotgun intel gatherer.... You know how those women are... She looks at all the possibilities. I think that the wait is harder on her than it is me

I know, we've gone through every possibility of what may/may not happen. It's driving us nuts too, but I would imagine you x10.

you would have a hard time(almost impossibe) sitting reserve from there and making it to work in time on a callout. You'd have to get a crash pad.

WOT,

Aren't you home? What are you doing on the forum? Get a life

[Huck]

Tell her to look at Senatobia, MS.

 

[Echopapa]

Collierville or Germantown.....

Or Oxford...if you don't wanna hold reserve.

The boy is asleep and the wife thinks I am taking care of official "business". I can't help it, I'm like Tyrone Biggums.

All I know is that there are tons of cars in peoples front yards on blocks if you know what I mean............Git-R-Done. I'd have to agree with the Anchorage idea.

 

[CaptainMark]

recently drove thru there on the way back from florida and there are a lot of houses with above ground pools in the FRONT yard!

 

[twiceskunkeddog]

Thanks fellas...

Yeah... I think if this rumor is true about the Mighty Dog, then I may end up on reserve for a long long long time, so I think that G'town or C'ville would be the way to go.

Thanks for the responses,

And don't worry WOT I still am hoping for ANC...

I spent the better part of two years on reserve in the back of the Boeing. Made our choice to live in C'ville a pretty good one.

Turns out, the family loves it here also.

[SKYMASTER]

Captain Mark is right. I know MS. Stay as far away as you can, if you want to be happy.

 

[SKYMASTER]

P.S. I am not joking.

 

[SKYMASTER]

P.P.S. I know MS very well.

Gross generalizatons

I'm not sure how many times I've posted over the two years I've been reading this website, but it's probably in the single digits. I generally prefer to post only when I've got the information necessary to speak intelligently on the matter at hand. In this case, I have lived in MS for the last six years. For someone to say that you can't be happy if you live in Mississippi (or any other state for that matter) is a ludicrous and false generalization. I have seen MS and Memphis take an incredible beating on this site, and I'll admit that there are negative issues in both. However, it's been my experience that there are negative issues wherever I've lived. People tend to either look for the positives in a given situation and find ways to be happy or, well, you can fill in the rest... I've worked in the Columbus area all of this time and have been very happy here. I've visited Jackson, Hattiesburg, Tupelo, Southaven, Hernando, Oxford, etc., and honestly believe that I could be happy in any of those towns as well. I know that there are many of you who were born/raised in different climates and social environments, and would prefer to get back to those places. That's fine, and I wish you well in your endeavours to return to whatever "God's country" means to you. However, I've travelled around the world in my previous military life, and I can honestly say that I and my family have never been happier than right here in the Magnolia State. If it's really that bad, find another place to live, but please don't insinuate that there is not one location in all of Mississippi where one can find happiness!

Yeah!!! What he said!!!

Has anyone compared the relative tax rates between TN and MS? At what income does TN become the better deal, with being able to write off sales tax and all now?

 

[Falconjet]

TN has no state income tax. MS does. So you don't have to chose between sales tax or state income tax to deduct if you live in TN.

No state income tax was one of the factors that led us to live in TN.

MS income tax will cost you 5 percent. Five g's per 100K in income. Ouch. Property taxes are higher in Shelby County, but not much more if you just avoid City of Memphis taxes. In Germantown or Collierville, a home appraised at 350K will cost you about $800 more in property taxes than the same home in Olive Branch... At higher income levels, it's significantly more expensive to live in MS. Of course, you can make the argument that you can get more house for your money in MS...but in my opinion it's not so much of a difference to offset the income tax. Prices in Desoto County are creeping up, especially in Olive Branch. Your mileage may vary. Would you rather live in Germantown or Olive Branch? That's the real key. See for yourself - on the Shelby County Tax Assessor's website, as well as the Desoto County Tax Assessor's website. They have a property tax estimator. As for the sales tax, TN has the very high 9.75% sales tax for most retail items, compared to MS 7%....However, Memphis has far more variety in restaurants and businesses, so I end up eating the sales tax and driving 30 miles each way, to boot. Yes, I'm moving next month from Horn Lake to Germantown....wish it were tomorrow! That said, some folks really love MS. You just have to know what you want. Hope that helps!

Actually there is an income tax in Tennessee

Ran into it this year, thought my tax guy was crazy. Tax on Investment Income over a certain threshold. $2500 I believe. I just moved here two years ago.....actually Florida has the same thing too called the "intangibles tax" which takes a percentage every year of your total holdings above a certain level.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRrrrrr

You get another tax advantage living in TN that you probably aren't aware of if you live in a state that has income tax. Congress partially reinstated the ability to write off sales tax, but there is a catch: you get to choose, either sales tax OR state income tax, but not both! So, living in TN (which I happen to do, in G.T. at the moment) I can write off my sales tax. That, coupled with not having to pay income tax, starts adding up to some real change when you get into income brackets that allow you to spend more.

Despite that, seems many people in MS always talk likes it breaks even, although that may be a function of their income, etc.
