Mass has high taxes - if your sister is not on Medicare and is worried about health coverage, Mass has a good, very cheap health insurance plan
NH is a great state - no income and no sales tax, lots of quilters and Guilds
I know very little about RI, except that it has alot of ocean, good food and the Mafia
Mass has high everything. We used to go to visit every year and would bring cereal and alot of other things to cut cost. I don't like the long cold winters either. My husband is from there and once told me he wanted to move back when he retired in 5 yrs. I told him fine; divorce me now because I won't move any where it's more expensive and the weather is worse than where I live now.
