        Illinois is such a horrible state. Income taxes and high fees.

          The only tough parts about Texas is high property taxes and sales tax on almost everything. In Texas, you never truly own your house as your always paying taxes on it. Miss a few years and the county repsees the property for back taxes. You can either pay up or the property gets auctioned off on county court steps.

            Lucky you... I just got the letter for renewal... it was $228. It's about that every year for both of our cars. (each)

            Also all doable online, which is nice.

              That's how every state is. You don't think that there are states where you don't pay property tax for forever, do you?

                    When I lived in Indiana I was shocked when I registered my tags and the lady said "that'll be $1200". I laughed, she was serious. In Ohio you pay about $35 to $50 for a tag renewal.

                    In Indiana you pay around 1% of your cars value, and I had just bought a stupidly expensive new car (something I will NEVER repeat).

                    Prior to Indiana I lived in Florida and both my cars were leased, so I am really curious as to how different car tags are priced across other states.

                      I just registered a beater truck I got for $1500. $188 for registration, plates, and sales tax. Inspection is another $21 on top of that.

                        Even non-statets like the Virgin Islands.

                            A bit much for a $1500 truck.

                              Wow so we are just spoiled in Ohio. New tags you pay about $80 now, renewals about $35 every year. Regardless of the car.

                                PA it’s like $25-30 for cars. SUVs might be like $35-40 and a full sized pickup is around $70-80 a year.

                                  So this topic is now going to turn a little business-y.

                                  Best way to get funding. What is it? Basically assume that everybody around me is poor and cannot pitch in. What are the different types of investing along with each pros/cons?

                                      Self Funding: Most dangerous, best returns.
                                      Bank Loans: Very hard to get, lowers your returns.
                                      Angels: Good luck
                                      VCs: They own you and control everything. Your risk is low but your chance of success is lowered dramatically.
