That's pretty awesome.
If I had no family or friends that I wanted to stay around, I would totally do this.
the fact that you have to pay state income tax on money you made online is fuckin retarded. don't quote me on this but i don't think you necessarily have to move to a tax free state in order to avoid state taxes, can't you just incorporate a business in a different state?
Which is basically the definition of slavery. The government owns your labor, even if you no longer live under that government.
+1 for Seattle as well.
I've lived in the area for almost 20 yrs now (in Seattle and various surrounding cities) and I think it's one of the most scenic regions of the US.
There are 3 ski areas within 1-2hrs away, lots of great hiking/camping in the summer, tons of great lakes for boating/wakeboarding and the ocean is only 2hrs away.
I grew up in the eastern side of WA and while the climate is much nicer during summer I doubt you'd enjoy living there being single. Seattle has so much more to offer and you'll be surrounded by a lot of other tech savvy people. I'd recommend the neighborhoods of Queen Anne, Greenlake, Ballard, Fremont, Magnolia, Alki and Capitol Hill. I know you are craving the college experience so you'd probably also love the U of W district.
Not sure what real estate you were looking at but it's still quite expensive for the good neighborhoods. You certainly won't be finding any $150k homes like yours -- let alone any studios for that price. A decent home in the neighborhoods above is going to start at $500k.
Vancouver, WA is nice and have many friends who live there as well. But what makes it is having Portland and the nightlife just across the river. Otherwise there isn't much going on there.

Incorrect. That is when you give up citizenship. You don't have to give up your citizenship when you move to another country. Also I believe the laws have changed somewhat in this regard, check with a tax attorney.
American citizens living overseas do not have to pay US income taxes for the first $80,000 or so of income they generate. After that you do have to pay US income tax starting from the lowest tax bracket.
Consult with a tax attorney about this if you are serious about leaving the country.
Vancouver, BC is nice. I should have clarified though, because I meant Vancouver, WA which is pretty much a suburb of Portland, like this_guy said.
I lived in the Pearl in downtown Portland, but I knew a lot of people who did the live in Vancouver shop in Portland thing.
Do it anyway. Family is better when you only see them a couple times a year. And you can make new friends. The old friends who are worthwhile will stick with you despite time and distance.
That said, I'm totally on board with the people who suggested expatriating the country. Since AM can be done most anywhere, get out and see the world.
Because he's gay. That would be like one of us wanting to live with a bunch of chicks.
Naw actually because us people that make a lot of money like linking up with other people making just as much money; so that all of us can share ideas and make even more money.
They guys I'd live with are dominating markets anyways so we're already competition, so we're a lot more open about what we're doing.
And it'd be fun to live with a group of people with the same general interests as you.

Sounds like the house will be full of guys into domination. Whatever floats your boat man.
