Still irrelevant.
If anything, it matters more to live in an income tax free state when you earn more.

“You’re doing well enough” does not justify paying more taxes just because they can.

“Serious career” is just more noise.
We were simply talking about pros and cons of living in NH vs Mass…

Fortunately, my employer is in a state (not Mass) that can’t charge me their state income tax here in NH.
If I moved to Mass, I would pay the Mass rate to the state of mass.

But if you earned less in NH, then working in MA and paying the taxes makes more sense. That is why so many residents of NH work in MA.

The guy next to me drives from Belmont to Logan five days a week.

I don’t, nor do most truly “remote” workers.
I could move to a shanty in Bangladesh and make the same..
This makes NH a huge draw (for reasons other than the fact that is already naturally amazing)

It would depend on what office you are paid from.

They were just pointing out that fact.

Just hope no one in Bangladesh gets your skill set and is willing to work for less.

If he loves restaurants settle in somewhere between Newburport MA and Portsmouth NH and your still not far from Boston.
