1. Weather
2. Proximity to other states
3. Shoveling shit against the tide (see #2)
4. Pissing in the wind (see #2)
5. It is contained within the borders of the USA police state (see concepts described in #3 and #4).
Bonus: #6. Taxes. If you derive your income from dividends, NH is a high tax state.
Bonus: #7. Taxes. If you plan on buying a home then make sure you are fully aware of how much the property taxes will be each year and factor that on a per month basis - so it is painfully clear. $1000 a month for property taxes was a little too much for me. Moving to another state knocked my property taxes to $500 a month and eliminated dividend taxes. NH is a very high tax state in some instances (mine specifically).
Bonus #8. Taxes. If you are self employed you will be hit with corporate taxes on anything about $60K as I recall
Bonus #9. Taxes. If you work in Massachusetts (as a lot of NH people do). Massachusetts will take MA State Taxes out of your check that you get no value from.
Bonus #10. Wages. If you choose not to work in Massachusetts then prepare for the pay cut in NH. A job paying $120K in Massachusetts will pay $80K in NH.
***MY APOLOGIES*** should have read the damn thread. I went into NH sucks mode before reading the thread, but will leave the above rant... because NH sucks
Pretty much why I have not made the move - my taxes would rise by over 50%.
