Wife and I's combined salaries are ~145k, mortgage + property taxes is about 2k which equates to about 30% of our take home pay after taxes.

We live in the Northwestern tip New Haven county in a 2200 sq foot house on a quiet cul de sac.

The CCs have a list of classes they offer and to which schools those classes transfer as credit. You just have to line up your ducks and make sure you're taking classes that fit the requirements for the new school. Also check that the school you're going to accepts them and that you have a record of confirmation.

Wow that was a weird suggestion on their part. If you're going to USA northeast coast and want beach, why not go to Cape Cod, if the weather's warm enough. Hit Provincetown, the beaches etc. Nice night life there in season, weekends during May and then most nights starting the end of May, Labor Day or whatever that holiday is.

If beach ain't such a thing, go Boston. Fun place to hang. Great food, night life. Plenty of everything. Swell town.

Failing that, NYC.

I hope you guys have a great time regardless.

It's roughly comparable to CT, I think. I am not really sure. That amount of land in CT is way more expensive and valuable than in Vermont. I think I paid like 52k for it, cash. The guy I pay to handle my bills deals with paying the taxes on it.

It's literally a patch of woods I go camping on occasionally. No buildings or anything, just a small offroad trail to where I like to camp.

I have plans to do something with it eventually, but not for right now.
