Just the income tax in California would cost me $19,000/year based on my current income. That's $1,600/month just for state income taxes. In Washington I pay zero for state income taxes. The weather in California would qualify as what I would call 'Much Better' than Washington about 3 months a year. That works out to $6,333/month of better riding weather.

Add in all the other taxes in California, like the annual fees on my vehicles and airplane, I'm out another $10,000/year compared to Washington.

Add in the fact I'd never earn as much there as I do here you can understand why for the time being at least, I choose to remain in what I refer to as The Great Frozen Desert.
