This is an open and honest request. We have called every number we can find for years, months, and days with no help.
I hate putting this here but we are desperate.

I don’t know if your employment status would allow it — retired? telecommuter? transfer? — and such a solution is somewhat extreme, but if your state’s resources are the key issue, are you able to move to another state with more (any?) resources for your dilemma?Twitter: https://twitter.com/ron_clinton

Good thought and have explored it. NJ, CA, MN, and a few other States appear to offer actual services. We have one income and career we could transfer but the other one (mine) would need to be rebooted. Finances are actually holding us back from this leap. It's hard to change careers after 20 years.
However we may still make the jump. We are pretty crazy in regards to our kids.

Agreed. We are aware and is one reason we haven't done this yet. We have explored outlying towns in NJ, NY, ME, and CA with the understanding of state and property taxes.
We do not make enough cash to move to a large urban center in any State which has services...unless we live in our car.

Do some serious research before jumping to NJ or CA. I live in NJ, and the property taxes will blow your mind coming from Florida. We have State Income Tax, too. Pretty sure CA has both crazy housing prices and high taxes.Looking for the fonting of youth.

If you do not get it I will send an email.Last edited by c marvel; 09-02-2020, 04:27 PM. Reason: I had to change my reply to give correct info-That's why.Books are weapons in the war of ideas.
