Adjam5 Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 It seems I have found a cure for NY's gun woes. I won't have to get rid of a thing! Sending them all down south. I bought property in the Texas Hill Country. My escrow acct is open and the contract signed with a 21 day look see period. 6.5acres with a 3 bedroom mobilehome on it in Harper Texas. 20 minutes outside of Kerrville, one hour from San Antone and right across the road from a good friends ranch where he raises whitetail and exotics for auction. I have been visiting this area for the last 6 years and fell in love with the area and the large amount of game that roams free in that area. The present mobile home will not be the permanant house there. But it will stay for now or until I move there permanately. I at 48, still have a ways to go before retirement(8-10 yrs). But my oldest son Joe(21) is ready to make the jump and become a Lone Star resident. He will be going ahead of me in a few months to live there. In 10 years, my youngest son will be 26 and my middle son will be 28 and those boys better know what they are doing by then with their life. They can move on down if they want. My wife as of now... wants no part of it. She was born and raised in Manhattan NYC. She would rather concrete under her feet than dirt or coliche. I'll cross that bridge when I get to it with her. By then who knows where she will stand. But...either way I am gonna close on the property while I am down there 9 days from now. The taxes are $423/year for 6.5 acres! I pay just about 10 grand a year here in Rockland county for a 1300sqft ranch home on 1/3 of an acre! No state income tax, no pension tax and low low real estate tax. So doing simple math...It makes economic sense to get the heck out of NYS. Forget about King Cuomo and the fact that 178 folks for every 100 working here are on Gov't assistance. I am gonna miss my son Joe. But I must remember...this is not about me for now. It is about him still being able to live in a state that appreciates its residents and enjoys freedom. Can't say that about NYS. Does anyone know anybody who has said " I want to move to NY?" Texas is a growing state with a booming economy that keeps on growing. So I have been whistling while I have been working and have had a smile on my face since this property buying process has began. Land will only go up, and I am glad I am getting on board now in a solid secure free state. So if anyone wants to have lunch while I'm in Kerrville Feb 6th-12. PM me and I'll send ya my cell #. I am quite excited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PotashRLS Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 Too bad it has to come to such a thing. Hope you and your wife come to terms with it too. I am sure you will like the weight off your shoulder. My hat is off to you buddy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebeilgard Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 sounds like a good move to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adjam5 Posted January 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 Thanks guys. It is a ballsy move. But I know it will pay off. Scary to pick up and go...No doubt. But I am not looking to leave my family or isolate them. They are all welcome. Like I have been telling my wife. Just come up with a alternative plan and we both will explore it. At worst even if I don't move there. I know my son would have much better quality of life in Texas than NY. He can buy the land from me if I dont retire there. I keep telling my wife...Do you know anyone who retires and wants to stay in a over taxed, over governed, incredibly crowded and crazy expensive state? No answer from her. I have 8-10 years before I go. A lot can happen between now and then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 Glad you have a for now plan worked out, sounds like a good move to me. All the best with whatever you decide Anthony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bug House Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 Actually sounds like a great plan, flexibility is crucial. In the meantime you can enjoy your land when you can, and your boy can hold down the fort while you're back home. Compromise was key with my wife, 6 years out and she couldn't imagine raising our family down there. Either way good luck with it all!

Adjam5 Posted February 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 Thanks Bug. I did have some reservations about not staying to fight the fight. But there are way too many low information voters and people in these parts that make policy and elect idiots. I don't think I will ever get to win that one. So one at a time, NYS is chasing wage earners and good honest law abiding people away. So when they chase every hard working good person away...Who will foot the bill for the 178 that collect Gov't assistance for every 100 that are working contributing members of society? I won't be one of them.( Middle finger up at Prince Cuomo). My son is quite excited and so looking forward to the move. He took his handgun safety course last thursday here at the sherrif's dept. Texas has reciprocity with NYS handgun licenses, so his permit will be recognized when transferred. Unfortunately...NYS doesnt recognize anyones permit. I still have some time to work on the Mrs. I hope the whole family comes. But if they don't...I know I have taught them the dangers of staying here in this oppressive state.

I hope it works out for you and the family. PM me your number. Maybe we can grab a meal or drink while your in TX. I am only 4-5 hours away from Kerrville in the big city of Houston.

texastrophies Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 Glad you decided to pull the trigger and get the property. Can't do it this trip, but one of these days I will make it out there when you are down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
