Time to bump up that 401k

Subdivision. Ugh I cringe just thinking about it.

It's a huge one if that helps. The houses are not close together in that sense. If I want to see my neighbor, I'd probably have to drive to his house if you know what I mean.

South Florida in my area doesn't have a lot of ope open space.

Don't want to pay any more taxes

Me either but it is what it is until all the kids move out and graduate college. Then I sell or maybe rent it out. It'll be paid off soon.

I can't even imagine how much college will cost

I think there may be a point where college will be out of reach for the vast majority of people.

Books are ridiculous. It's a big scam.

Cheggs has put a huge dent in that scam.

I would agree with you if I were full time but im not. Being a cover driver with a mortgage would not be smart IMO

Buying a house cash is not much smarter, especially with historically low mortgage interest rates.

Still very expensive. Especially when you never use the stinking book

Mine are about $1800/yr for a $152k assessment, hasn't been re-assessed for probably 10+ years, hopefully won't anytime soon.

Mine are roughly $2500/year combined for an $80K assessment.

Maybe that's why he only has room for a six pack in his small fridge

They tax you one way or another

I live in an unincorporated area so avoid city taxes but my utilities are higher.

It'd be worth more if you fixed the fence.

Doesn't need it.

I'm glad you care though.

For that,that's outrageous

We are planning on moving in the next year or so. Last night I was checking tax rates in the towns we are interested in. Anywhere from $9 to $26/1000.

Why are you obsessed with his fence???

Two tiered wage structure, longer progression, contribution toward healthcare premiums, extended use of helpers, increased use of technology for the purposes of discipline, etc.

Are we going to start a cash pool on your future "guesses"... Let's do this so you can be 0 for 3....
