Now I'm curious. What made you chose the Ravens over the Bucs?

I find it hard to believe that there will be any point where the value is worse in Tampa than in MD lol, extremely inflated market here, very poor value, horrible taxes, honestly unless you’re a fed employee or gov contractor i don’t see any rational reason to live in MD other than family reasons lol.
and we don’t have it narrowed to one area specifically, but her peoples are in the St. Petersburg area I believe

Bruh, there is no state income tax in the Sunshine State lol. We gucci over here.
A few things.. they were first team i played with on madden cause i hated the fact that everyone liked them.. my cousin played for hurricanes in late 80s as a lb so he cheered heavily for ray lewis when he came out.
Yea just bring your ass here man..

We’re moving from Jacksonville NC after being stationed at Lejuene. I’m pumped only heard great things about the city. Just gotta find a nice neighborhood somewhere in the suburbs. Same with schools, the wife is very picky about private schools for our daughter. I was a dumb public school guy and I turned out fine but o well

Why tf you think I wanna move so bad lmfao
I’m working on it man, I’ve decided pretty firmly that I’m not spending my whole life in MD and why not just get started now lol
Ybor city is a lot of fun
I was also a dumb public school guy yet helped all the intelligent guys in college lol. I dnt know much about private schools here but as far as areas to live in, that should be easy for you all. By the way.. tampa, brandon and riverview all are basically the same thing so dnt be hesitate about looking there too.
Lol i legit live like 2mins away from there

Living in NC myself, I'm costing myself $50 per check by not living in a state with no income tax. That extra $50 could be gas money right now the way it's gone up since January.
Nobody should ever spend their whole life in MD. My parents and I moved to NC right after I graduated High School and I went right into Broadcasting School that fall. I don't miss it one bit, I go up once a year for a Ravens game then I leave again until the next season lol.
My parents want to move to Florida, I want to move out of NC but don't know where, maybe Florida. My job currently makes it easy for me to transfer anywhere I want but I just haven't figured out the where lol.
what I've heard from Florida residents is where they may not have instate taxes, they get you in other places. I live in Montgomery County, Maryland and love it here, especially being close to Washington, DC. I also like the change of seasons. That being said, it is an expensive place to live, no question about that. Works really well for my business as the DMV has 4 of the top 10 wealthiest counties in the country and I'm an Investment Advisor, although I have clients across the country (most on the east coast though).
I do like Tampa as I was there on a conference once and was able to see the area a bit. If I move anywhere, which in time I may, it won't be to Florida.

As for me, I'll trade all of that not to be surrounded by wayward pythons, crocs, blistering heat, humidity and old, noisy people! laugh out loud! I love my MD!
ps: Truth is, I am old and falling apart myself, but I feel so young among the lot of you! For that I'm grateful.

Do it. Can't beat the weather and cost of living isn't crazy. Wouldn't say there's a huge trade off with no instate tax.
Been here 14 years and think I,very seen maybe 1 or 2 Gators my entire time here. One occasion was passing and actual gator alley and the other I was ahem under the influence so it might have been a big ass iguana. The heat good for them old bones.
how old are you or should I say how young are you. You can use anniversaries of a 29th birthday if you'd like. This year I celebrate the 26th anniversary of my 29th birthday. Yes, it's a speed limit birthday!

What part of NC? I went to college in Charlotte and later stationed in Camp Lejuene for three years. I love NC and would be happy to come back
