[quote=peterb]Move to a state without income tax. That’ll save you about 10% right there, compared to living in CA. Find one without sales or income tax and you’re even further ahead of the game. Not sure that exists in the USA, though.[/quote]

You can move to Vancouver, WA (no income tax) and shop across the river in Portland, OR (no sales tax.)

I know a couple of people that do this.
