Deep dives
Catalysts for Relocation
Monish Pabrai's move from California to Austin, Texas was prompted by both environmental and financial factors. He faced multiple evacuations due to wildfires in California, which led to an ongoing unpleasant living environment with lingering smoke in his home. Additionally, California's high state income tax, which fails to differentiate between various income types, significantly impacted his finances, leading him to seek states with no income tax. In contrast, states like Texas offer a zero tax policy and even provide annual payments to residents, as seen in Alaska, which reinforced Monish's decision to relocate.
