[quote=davelj]I’ve discussed this issue before. I’m going to try to move to Mexico next year, although it could be 2013 (it’s always more complicated in practice than on paper) before I can pull it off. I’ve got a (consultant) friend who did it years ago. I’m with the original poster, if you’re single, no wife, no kids, and have a lot of work flexibility (e.g., consultant, fund manager, etc.) I don’t see the point in maintaining CA residency and paying CA taxes.[/quote]

Now that would be somethin’! Not to open a debate, because I can see the irrational fear aspect of it.. but just as a PSA – there was two things in the ‘POPULAR POSTS’ section Borderland Beat blog post recently that are the most barbarically insane disgusting thing I’ve ever heard of.. way worse than the standard stuff. Those details have me pretty much certain I will never be able to go to Mexico again.. wish I could 🙁
