Marketing freelancer. I have 15 years experience and have managed decent sized teams. I don’t work every week of the year, but yes, it’s solid money.
Yes living in the “country” helps. But near any desirable metro, I don’t care what state it’s in, has gotten very difficult for anyone with normal income to do well. And it’s not just inflation. Because when I look at what my parents paid to live in the NYC area back in the day, adjusted for inflation it’s less than half of what it is now.
I think part of it is increasing population with not enough building. CT is a prime example of that, lowest vacancy rate in country.

Completely legal - CT is an “at-will” state. Unless she has some kind of contract or union protection that suggests otherwise, Lord Bezos has final say.

I boycott Amazon. I haven’t given them any money in years. They can rot.

It depends on which part of CT. Some parts (Northeast, for example) are a lot cheaper than others.

Reply to First time gardening by mak83s
Not sure about straw, but you should google growing potatoes in buckets. It's easier and very effective. Good luck with your garden!

Have you been to the beach area in Fairfield? They are constantly tearing down old houses and building new ones there. Its very crowded with houses basically on top of eachother. It’s arguably the most desired area to buy in the town

Yeah, it was still actively snowing this morning when I work and for most the morning. They aren’t going to be perfect…

Reply to comment by jocelynk_ in What are some good hiking trails in Northeast Ct? by jocelynk_
Between exits 73 and 74 on I84, near Union CT. Pretty much right before you hit the state line at Sturbridge MA. Bigelow Hollow is up there on the other side of I84 as well.

Reply to grandpa dying from 4th round of cancer by Prudent-Ball2698
Im sorry for what your family is going through. Youre obviously very close and in pain. Unfortunately cancer, no matter how much you may fight, can be sneaky. Blessings for your Grandpa.
