If your serious about moving to New England please do not move to Connecticut.
We raised our taxe all around and are still in $200+ million in debt this coming fiscal year. It's also one of the few states where the population is either stagnant (or close to being) or decreasing. Overall It's a expensive state to live on, and if you don't make good money here you won't survive well.
I bought a home here because this is my home state, but I would never recommend anyone coming here from out of state or country.
Oh and top of all that, we get crazy weather. We usually have nasty winters and mild summers. We also had a nasty snow storm in October that basically caused massive damage because of all the leaves still on the trees. I spent $400+ just to fix the wire running to the house and I'm sure to spend even more to clean up the trees/debris n the back (which still sits there). Yeah the weather is crazy.
It's just that simple.
