Washington state is likely to pass an income tax as well and that will drive me out even though I am not quite to the threshold yet. Washington state already has an estate tax of 35%, which in addition to the federal tax of 40% means my kid

The best thing I ever did for my mental health was to start having children. Humans, like every other living creature, are hardwired by billions of years of evolution to reproduce.
