There's no sales tax in Texas? I know several states don't have it. Must be nice.

Oh there's definitely a sales tax in Texas. I was just making a little joke about "Value-Added" tax -- everything in Cali costs more simply because... it's in Cali

I used to live there as a child. It's nice. But the prices have gone wayyyyy up since then. Living in South Texas has got me used to expecting a lot more for my dollar.

Texas has a 6.25 percent state sales tax.

note that this can go higher due to county and city taxes added on.

I often wonder how people can deal with living in areas where it snows in the winter. Too much work for me and waaaay too cold. However, California is full, so please don't come here.

Yes, I'm just kidding. I love the diversity here and though it is overcrowded, I guess there's always room for more right?

hehehehe with the cost of living no way!! Would like to visit someday though.

LOL that's why I live in South Texas. Plenty warm, and without the VAT of Cali.

I'm at a loss as to what VAT is. Help?

Value Added Tax (sales tax)

We have plenty of sales tax in North Texas . . . I think the max allowed by Texas law but we are supporting a mass transit system that includes light rail along with tons more ppl than other areas . . . I think the sales tax is determined by each city here.

Actually, I want to live in Northern California (I am overdue for a trip to San Francisco, LOL). But after I saw how much someone had to pay for a small amount of space inside the city, I decided it might be better to stay in Texas . . . but I think our highways are catching up quickly to the congestion levels of CA, hehe, I found that I have no problems driving out there now and it used to scare me a bit.

I am home alone, husband is at work.

I mentioned in off topic my husband was in a wreck yesterday. There were a lot of car accidents due to a freak rain storm which instantly turn to ice. the sidewalks were so icy you could barely stand up. They had to close the viaducts that go over the railroad tracks because cars and trucks couldn't make it over them. One of our vehicles was damaged about 1300 dollars to fix. Thank goodness we have full coverage on it, but most of all I am very thankful my husband didn't get hurt. After work all i wanted to do was hug and kiss him and was very very grateful nothing happen to him.

I am so sick of winter and can't wait for spring!!!!!
