Most U.S. states charge an income tax in the neighborhood of 5% to 8%. Some states charge their highest earners at rates of more than 10%. When you add local taxes like county and city taxes, the overall tax rate for successful people in some areas (like California and New York City) are even higher than 10%.

At first glance, 10% might not seem like a big wealth hit. But regularly having 10% of your income taken away by taxes causes tremendous damage to your ability to accumulate wealth over the long term.  Especially if you aren't earning 10% on your investments.

It's like trying to fill up a bucket of water with a leak at the bottom.   To get an idea of the damage a 10% annual tax hit will cause over the long term, let's look at the 20-year career of a middle income family.

We'll keep this example simple to zero in on the core idea.

Let's say our middle income family earns $150,000 per year for 20 years. That's $3,300,000 in earnings over the time period. Now, let's say our family lives in a region that hits him with a 10% annual tax on those earnings.

At that rate, they will pay $15,000 per year… for a total tax bill of $300,000 over 20 years.

A three hundred thousand dollars is a lot of money. But the damage is actually much worse when you factor in the "missed opportunities" that taxes take away from you. You see, that three hundred thousand dollars is money that could be directed into investment vehicles like blue-chip  stocks, precious metals like (gold & silver) or real estate. By not being able to invest it, you're hit with a big "opportunity cost."

If our family lived in an area with no state or city tax, they could keep that $15,000 per year… and direct it into good investments. If they kept "just one" of those extra $15,000 payments and put it into an investment that could compound tax-deferred at 8% annually for 20 years, they would have $69,914.

If they were able to plow each extra annual $15,000 payment into an investment that compounded tax-deferred for at least 8% annually for 20 years, they would have more than $811,258.

By living in a state with no income tax, our middle income family goes from down $300,000 to up $811, 258.

That's a "swing" of over $500,000.
It's a huge difference in wealth… caused by a seemingly small 10% tax. I kept this example simple on purpose. I know not every family is going to make $150,000 a year. And some states have tax rates of 4%, 5%, or 6%. The "swing" for a lot of people will be $100,000… $250,000… or $500,000. Still, those numbers are huge for most people.

Maybe a 20-year time frame is too long for you. So how about getting a raise next year? Don't hit up your boss for a raise. Move to a tax-free state and give yourself a raise. It's a way to immediately increase you earnings with no additional effort. And over the long term, it can drastically affect your level of wealth.

Moving is a pain in the neck, but it's could be worth it.  
Now, with the example above...imagine what you could save if you have your own home-based business and could save 15-30% of your income.  The math is even more daunting.  For more details on how you can do this ... setup a Financial Consultation with G&G Associates and we'll show you how.
