Yes! Saco is where I am.

I judge everyone by the amount they bitch about taxes.

State and local tax burden here:

When we were in that situation the Maine tax rate was calculated on our combined income but we were taxed only on the income earned in Maine.

Fuck no. Nj & new york was by the far the worst ones I dealt with. Only in the city for new york idk what's the country side like.

Hello local psilocybin-seeking community,

If you could use support in preparing or integrating an individual psilocybin journey in Maine, please email me at maine.psilocybin.guide@gmail.com or call (207) 370-9355.

I’ve experienced many deep psychedelic journeys (including a few dozen psilocybin), trained as a guide, and integration coach, advocated for policy reform at the state/fed, and prepared to guide trips when ‘things’ change. I attribute self-medicating micro-dosing and deep Psilocybin journeys to my healing from PTSD and depression as a combat veteran. I’ve found peace, happiness, & joy from this medicine - and zen weekly hope you find the same.

I’m an experienced coach and not a licensed psychologist; I don’t provide medical advice. I would be honored to support anyone’s pre/post-journey work. Feel free to reach out via phone to set up an in-person meeting or video call via zoom.

This post I prefer to remain anonymous for the privacy of my family; after we meet, you’ll see my face and learn my name. Blessings along your healing journey!

Good lord I'm almost tenfold that

The joke is that you never own your house in NH, you just rent it

I agree. I’ve lived in me, ny, nj, co, and ca, despite the differences in taxes, no one place seemed any more or less expensive when you consider income, etc.

Welfare is rampant in Maine. It certainly doesn’t help taxes. This is why we need to welcome immigration to people who actually want to work.

Total state taxes is my question. I can say without a doubt $5,000. for me. Mainers, tell me what you think are your total state taxes.

I can't say, but I can tell you Maine Revenue Services can be very nasty. Do not anger them for they are vengeful gods.

But in Maine, you still pay property tax. Depends on income level, but I pay way more in Maine income tax than the difference would be in property tax.

Edit: I don't understand the downvotes. My home in Maine vs being in NH might cost me like 2k less per year, but I pay way more in Maine income tax than 2 grand.

2200 here and haven't gone up by more than 100 bucks in 8 years.

Check out Genos

So I live in Western Maine, and last summer I hung my sheets out to dry on a line because I do not own a dryer. Couple hours later I brought them in and put them on my bed.

Next morning I woke up with a full body rash. It wasn’t on my face but it sure as hell was everywhere else. Took over a week to go away. Ended up with a mentholated hydrocortisone cream prescription to help because I basically wanted to tear my skin off.

Never saw a caterpillar, never touched a caterpillar.

Yeah but how much income tax and sales tax do you pay?

They are so hit or miss though. We had them so bad 2 years ago. Last year nothing. I don't see nests in the trees this winter either. Hard to tell if you will run into them.

Here in Jersey we would have that property tax bill and 7% sales tax. Well close to that, well I just looked ...9 10k ugh

Spend some time at Sun Tiki!

Yeah house prices suck up everything you've got after paying for your heating/ cooling, food, tax bill. Cost of living is a little higher in "paradise" than, say, Ohio.

Best advice I can think of is research what kind of trees they primarily live in, and try to avoid large groves. The nests are kind of easy to spot, since they can take over whole trees.

I'm pretty sure they're mostly coastal too? Last I heard at least. So it could depend on where you're planning on staying.

They're awful at my mother's house (Hope), she can't even hang clothes out to dry or they'd get covered in caterpillar hairs and they break out in awful rashes. I've only seen a few in my area (Augusta), but not anywhere near as bad.

Yeah, I have lived and paid taxes in PA, NJ, and IL. Maine has been the lightest tax state I've ever lived in as an adult, and that's before you consider property. To put that in perspective, my folks in NJ pay monthly for 0.5 acres what I pay annually for 14.

Thank you. He’s not young, he’s college aged and his asthma isn’t bad but his excema is really bad (usually only when he is sick). Maybe we will see if we can do coastal things instead. Early May might still be too cold for that though.
