Lots of those posting on this sub appear to be living in their parents' basement and have likely never held a job with significant income in their lives. For any household making $100,000 per year, which is modestly above the median CT household income, the most significant taxes, other than Federal, are CT income tax and property tax. In addition, sales tax and the car tax are significant.

All this talk of other fees is merely a diversion from the costs that impact families.

Depending on the state, income tax and/or property tax tend to be materially lower than CT. Alas, CT continues to drive spending higher without concern for the impact on families.

Is that suppose to be a lot? I am confused by your comment.

In a 2 adult HH in which both work, it would mean an income of $50,000 each. The average HH income in CT is about $85,000, so $100,000 is only a little above average.

My point is that anyone near or above average is most impacted by income and property taxes. However, too many comments focused on DMV fees and other items that might be significant for someone without a job or home, but not significant for those who bear the burden of the taxes that impact CT residents.

Hope that helps.
