Keep an eye on property taxes though. Local governments in NH are funded 
primarily through local property taxes. The tax rate varies quite a bit 
from town to town.

Also if you live in NH and work in Mass you get hit twice - you pay NH 
property tax AND Mass income tax.

I like it here and I think the governments are generally pretty frugal, 
but schools, roads and police don't come for free.
