22%


The dividend tax rate you will pay on ordinary dividends is 22%. Qualified dividends, on the other hand, are taxed at the capital gains rates, which are lower.


Most stock dividends are qualified dividends.

You don't live in Colorado City, do you??

Now... why would you zero in on that particular town, out of all the ones in that area? What exactly are you trying to imply here? Lol

You suckers who work for yourselves get clipped pretty hard on the first $137K or so.

I have a long rowe to hoe before I reach that point

Headed for Austin

They're already here.  In droves.

I am glad that you are one of the Californians that is content to stay put.

Unfortunately a lot of others are fleeing like rats from a sinking ship.

Ha! If only that were the case.

I’ve not lived in that state full-time as an adult. And there’s a decent chance I never will.

If the difference was 2.3 percent on taxes, it would be an option. But the fact is, so damn many people still want to live there and the place seems to be producing six-figure jobs at a high clip. If Cali was a ruin, that would benefit me. But going there is economically hard to pull off. It’s so prosperous, expensive and in high demand.

Living in other parts of the country, the lesson has dawned on me, if you live somewhere both nice and cheap, eventually people who can afford nice things find it, and it gets less cheap. One spot I lived was depressed and sinking fast. And I could get a three bedroom house for $70k.

Heh, I used to joke that if you find such a place, you should give the town an awful name so that no one would ever want to move there. 

Stenchburg, Locust Point, Manureville, etc.

No, once you buy property you rename the town "Pleasantville" to bring people in and raise your own property value... That way you have an exit strategy.
