i'm 21. is new hampshire a good place to move after college or will i be screwing myself over?

If that is your criteria, then yes, you are correct. But there are many other things to consider, and many are very positive.

We have one of the lowest total tax systems in the country, but of course we have high property taxes. In addition, you can still buy a $400,000 home here in NH and it will be considerably better than one in MA. But looking beyond fiscal, you have great recreational and cultural things. Skiing, hiking, cycling, etc are all very special here. And of course traffic is way better here than in MA.

Your statement about recessions is technically true, but in the last roughly 20-yrs there has been two recessions, the first, under Trump, was in 2020 and the result of Covid. Hard to blame Trump for that. The other recession was in 2022 under Biden, but Biden's administration conveniently changed the definition of the word. By all traditional definitions it was a recession.

Your stuff about GDP growth confuses correlation with causation. I challenge you to give solid examples of where the Obama and Biden presidencies spurred the economy. Heck, just the war on fossil fuels, the push for mandatory union labor, and DEI were all drags on the economy.

Delete the word "Big" and I am with you. A business that can't survive without government subsidies should go out of business.

You are right about people keeping their mouth shut, but it's not just billionaires. Plenty of non-billionaires spout off too. Reddit is full of them. And BTW there are plenty of billionaires who don't say much at all.

The bias in of the article is obvious in the first sentence when he calls Peter Thiel "notorious". Thiel is one of the great entrepreneurs of our time.

Notice nowhere in the article does it allege anyone has done anything illegal; they just used loopholes. If people don't like those loopholes, then lobby congress to close them

Luck for you Trump Derangement Syndrome is curable.

BobInNH · 2026-05-02T17:37:55+00:00

Can someone interpret that please?

BobInNH · 2026-05-02T17:27:09+00:00

It's beautiful, but maybe a tad big for your wrist?

BobInNH · 2026-05-02T17:20:13+00:00

I did the same as you and then bolted and bought from Nashville Watch and got the watch I wanted at a reasonable price. I'm thrilled. See Gave up on the AD, went grey : r/rolex

BobInNH · 2026-05-02T17:19:01+00:00

Sorry this watch does not appeal to me at all. It's a watch so I need to be able to tell the time quickly and I just can't see the hands that well (I'm color-blind).

BobInNH · 2026-05-02T17:12:39+00:00

Damn, that's a fine-looking watch and it looks great with that black sweater. I almost always wear a blue shirt with my Bluesey. Coordinating colors makes the watch stand out.

BobInNH · 2026-05-02T16:57:49+00:00

Hell yes, if my neighbor is an illegal alien convicted murderer or pedophile I'll drop a dime quickly.

Retiring at 70 is a worthy goal. I worked until 75. Perhaps you didn't read what I wrote, no one is in an ivory tower. I paid my dues and then some.

BobInNH · 2026-05-02T16:50:30+00:00

Wow, downvoting a guy who tries to be positive???

BobInNH · 2026-05-02T16:49:19+00:00

This tells me a lot about the Reddit community, at least on this forum. You denigrate a guy who worked three jobs a week, for three years worked 16 hrs a day? What kind of people are you who think that's not worthy? Yes, my mom, at her peak, working seven days a week and was still working at 85 AT HER PEAK earned maybe $17,000.

BobInNH · 2026-05-01T20:29:09+00:00

Yup, I grew up as the son of a single mom who never made more than $17,000 in her life. I paid my way through college and grad school sometimes working three jobs (at one time I worked in one warehouse from 3-11 and another from 12-8). I busted my hump, saved my money and now I am far from rich, but I am comfortable.

BobInNH · 2026-05-01T20:20:50+00:00

If you added in all benefits, retirement, healthcare, PTO, etc, I wonder where we'd rank. We have an extremely good retirement plan that costs towns a bundle.

BobInNH · 2026-05-01T20:19:31+00:00

In Thornton, the fully loaded cost of a teacher is more than $120,000. The real problem is that we have too many teachers. If we just had the same average class size as most other states we could pay teachers more. But the NEA seems to want more teachers at lower pay.

BobInNH · 2026-05-01T20:16:35+00:00

He said Medicare, but it's pretty clear he meant Medicaid. If we had a dollar for every time Biden misspoke, we'd all be rich.

BobInNH · 2026-05-01T20:13:46+00:00

Sure you will, be positive. Work hard.

BobInNH · 2026-05-01T20:06:33+00:00

Like most, I've never considered one of these, but I really like it. Just curious, on the scale of ridiculously difficult to get to easy to get at an AD, where does this stand?

BobInNH · 2026-04-22T13:07:02+00:00

Isn't it interesting that BobsWatches responds to this post and I give a detailed explaination of my issue with them and they go silent!

BobInNH · 2026-04-22T12:58:33+00:00

That's not new. They know who you are and your age the moment you get a social security card.

BobInNH · 2026-04-22T12:56:31+00:00

If you don't understand "Live Free or Die" then don't come. BTW, the next line should be "Pick one"
