I am always learning something new and will never assume that I know it all.Yes, Massachusetts is a very liberal state, and VERY tenant friendly and the laws favor tenants in housing court.

I am in control of my time, my energy, and my income and its been the most liberating feeling of my entire life. 

If you are going to college to be an engineer, doctor, lawyer, etc. it's certainly worth it (if you're going for a liberal arts degree, probably not).

No personal experience with Matt yet but I'm familiar with most, since I'm running several REIAs (mainly MassRealEstate dot net)Or you can get a Liberal Arts degree for $60k/year and see how that pays off:-(

But no doubt Boise and other parts of Idaho are reaping the CA overflow and out flow from Oregon / for those that don't care to live anymore in an ultra liberal anti police society LOL..   

Maybe it was the fact that those awkward legal-sized pages overflowed with official seals, government certifications, and a liberal amount of scary legal jargon that got me nervous and clearly meant if I ever got behind, I could almost certainly count on finding myself locked in some kind of mortgage prison they send real estate investors to who don’t make payments on time.

Seems like a liberal mecca for the South East US. 

Cook County has some of the most liberal laws protecting tenant in the US.As a result, Chicago, evictions are tricky. 

IE the Simulus Check and liberal unemployment benefits.   

Its extraordinarily liberating to know everything is paid for no matter what you do for the day, but that doesn't mean you want to just stop working (or earning money, really) altogether.
