We would really like to live off the grid, anyone got any tropical suggestions not in the us and that you can get alot of bang for your buck?
yeah I ask my wife often if we can move to Japan or somewhere on the other side of the rainbow, it frustrates me too, but I have come to the conclusion that you can't fight the system...and leaving your country when the rest of the world would love to come here and make money does not make sense. Hawaii is amazing if you can afford to live their...an apple cost me $3 over there.

I am in the same boat in NYC the cheapest co-op 2b/2b we like is over 300k plus 1,100 maintenance, then you need to send your kids to private school, and we just got into a higher tax bracket....and every fucking thing is going up in price except my 9-5 salary. I still have family here, and enjoy playing the sport of one-wall Handball which is huge in NYC. I think eventually I will end up in Cali or somewhere warm all year myself. hmmmm paradise
