But which is better? Work until you can’t or retire and get a job 5/10/20 years later because you’re running out of money? If you work until you can’t, what good is retirement?

And I agree that many people can’t plan and save because life is expensive. Plus most people adjust their quality of life upwards as they make more money making saving harder.

Well I think we are describing is just the American tourist in general and the hideous reputation they have abroad. New Hampshire is the host state out of stateers are the guest, the tourist. I don't think it's so particular to Massachusetts but rather as a state the generic over there in American abroad, the Karen, fortunately not everybody's like that

Just don't come up with a shitty self entitled attitude and no one cares where you are from. Why so many folks from Mass cannot figure this out is beyond me.

You have to be an asshole first, before being from Mass plays into the equation making one a Masshole.

I think a lot off Mass residents like to conflate Masshole as hate for Mass in general. It isn't. It is direct response to a strong held attitude and behavior that a large portion of MA visitors bring with them.

Repeated multiple times and will again. If you aren't an asshole firstly, no one cares where you are from. Act like an aggressive asshole and then are from Mass you are a Masshole.

I have friends who spent their whole lives in MA and they are actually the first to point out and be effected by others Masshole behavior when they come up and visit.

It is meme well outside just the northeast for a reason.

I’ll add a second for El Rincon (best Mexican in the city), Gyro Spot and Mr. Mac’s. All solid choices depending on what you’re in the mood for.

Granite Ledge Coffee from Canterbury is my absolute favorite. I usually buy it at Concord farmers market, but it’s available at the Concord Co-Op and other small independent grocers. They also do free shipping. I’ve never had fresher coffee, it’s usually been roasted in the past couple days once I buy a bag. You can tell because how much it blooms when you add hot water. They offer several single origin roasts as well as blends, at different roast levels depending on your preference.

The companies that produce electricity misjudged what the cost to produce the electricity was going to be. The reason the price has risen so dramatically is because they need to make up lost profits.

El Rincon, Hanover Street Chophouse, Thai Food Connection, Crown Tavern, Industry East, Gauchos, Golden Tao, Golden Karma, Buba Noodle, The Gyro Spot, Mr. Mac’s.

Oil fired plants are basically non existent. Gas turbines with a HRSG sure, but not oil plants.

I don't give a shit. It is what it is. Don't be an asshole when you come up and no one will care you came up from Mass.

Sadly a non insignificant number (large minority/majority) of Mass residents, when they travel, like to be assholes and then try to defend their behavior by playing the 'I'm from Mass It's how we are' card like it makes it any better.

This weekend/last week it was well known conditions would be shit. There is zero justification for coming up and making aggressive scenes about the conditions, being rude, and justifying the aggressive scene because of where you came up from and projecting we all hate you for it. Sadly it isn't 20 something frat douches either.

It's moms and dads with kids in tow teaching the lesson that if you are rude and make a scene, you may get your way, and if not you will at least disrupt others away from their good time.

It is meme in the Northeast, Rockies, Tetons, Pacific Northwest, and Hawaii, to list a few, for a reason.

It's been interesting watching people try to spin the price increase as a green energy problem all the while conveniently ignoring the fact that New England generates so much electricity off Natural gas and that the price increase coincided with the atrocity in Ukraine which has directly impacted Natural gas prices.

So who will be the first moron to propose some insane fee for owners of solar that destroys the purpose of having it?

First, I just want to say that I would never tell you Hooked/Ignite were the best lunch spot. Eek.

Are you looking for something quality and quick or sit down and spend time with a friend? Spicy and/or ethnic or meat and potatoes? Context matters with a recommendation.

For some people in the right situation, solar is the only way to go. It does require a significant investment, and a long time to recover that cost.

Sure, but most people can't do that, or are approaching retirement age and have not saved. You advice is a lecture, not advice.

Port City does a light roast of the monsoon malabar that's one of my favorites!

There are variations on gondolas that are highly resistant to winds, that are still much more affordable than a tram. See Palisades Tahoe’s Gold Coast Funitel for example. As windy as Cannon is, that place is far windier. Their funitel can operate in winds up to 100 km/hr (62 mph). I can’t find specs on the Cannon tram’s max wind speed, but the Sandia tram states that it cannot run above 50mph. I’d expect Cannon’s to be in the same ballpark.

I think the opposition would not be half as strong if the only local gondola (Loon’s) wasn’t such a massive piece of shit. The views are terrible, the uphill capacity is terrible, it’s always down, it’s just a terrible lift. Now that I think of it, every east coast gondola I can think of is an oddity in some way. I guess if I’d never seen a proper, modern gondola, I might oppose it too. But a tram sized budget gets you a really, really nice gondola. Not anything like Loon’s, or that ridiculous chondola at Sunday River (just… why).

Lucas Roasting in Wolfeboro, incredible coffee!

I go out of my way to get Phnom Pehn every time I'm back in the area. 4aces if you have time for a breakfast.

That’s horrible advice! Plan, save, and retire as early as you can. You can always make more money, you can’t make more time.

I retired 4 years ago at age 52. Highly recommended!

Your evidence proves nothing. It is your opinion show us the paperwork on letterheads and maybe we will start to believe and in that paper work make sure we are told how many people were polled and what group of people were surveyed. Words in blogs are usually opinion and most of them are non factual do not believe any survey you read unless they have surveyed at least 75% of the New Hampshire population. This is my last reply between you and I as you are not willing to accept anything other than your opinion. MY regards to you and Goodbye

If you're near the seacoast, Horseshoe Cafe in Newmarket has probably the best in the whole state, but the lineup varies. Nori is an expert coffee roaster and his wife Sarah is an accomplished and delightful baker! Their shop has been listed by Food & Wine as the best in NH for at least 2 years now.

That's due to the cost of natural gas and oil going up in response to the war in Ukraine. Electricity from natural gas is up to 45%, and the huge spike in natural gas prices over the last year is responsible for most of the price increase.

Solar is likely keeping the price down since the utilities need to bring the more expensive oil fired plants less often on really hot summer days.
