I would like to grab coffee or meal.

Sure, I miss Genesee Beer, the Distillery, Sticky Lips, Amerks games and all the people walking in Brighton on the Sabbath, but juice is worth the squeeze regarding moving from Roch to Raleigh.A few pros:  (1)  Lower State Income taxes, (2)  Healthier and more diverse job opportunities (higher pay and opportunities for advancement as a whole), (3)  BBQ - I won't step foot in my favorite BBQ joint the Dinosaur in Rochester since that Commie George Soros purchased a stake. 

I meal prep almost every meal besides breakfast.

Often with the lower end tenants it's a much cleaner and healthier relationship both ways when they're dealing with a property manager.

I meal planned like crazy and set a strict budget.

This could include Meals & Entertainment, Office Supplies, Telephone and other business related expenses.  

Furnishings, cleaning charges, NHRooms and meals tax (they will track you down), cable and most importantly Wifi.  

Most cherished is the time we spend together, even if it's just watching reruns of "Frasier" or cooking a meal together.This morning, I woke up with a lyric in my head which came to me in a dream.

It is out of state so you incur expenses: flight, car rental, lodging, meals, etc.

My accountant advised two most audited items are meals/entertainment & mileage expense.
