General Discussion

I have no debt. I own my house and my two vehicles outright and one is electric. My wife and I are on Social Security and I still work part time on a very easy job. Our property taxes are around $700/year because we homestead and get a senior citizen rate on our property taxes. I can't imagine someone with a mortgage of a couple of a couple of a hundred thousand dollars, have a property tax bill of 3-4k dollars a year and add sky high home insurance rates. I don't know how they do it. The cost of renting an apartment has gotten so high, service workers can't afford to live in the towns where their jobs are. Some cities are wanting to build low cost housing just for those people to live near where they work just to keep small business' in town. The state is a shit hole. There is so much bad going on now.
