My aunt paid off her house in 2011.
Threw a party. Cried happy tears. Said she finally owned something in this world.
Property taxes were $3,200 a year back then.
Today they’re $9,800.
HOA went from $180 a month to $440.
Homeowners insurance doubled after the storms in her area.
She’s 71 on a fixed income writing three checks every month on a house she already paid for.
She told me last week she’s thinking about selling.
The house she spent 30 years paying off.
The house she cried over.
Because she can’t afford to stay in something she owns.
You never really own it.
You just run out of people to pay and find new ones.
@DrewHLive I honestly didn’t think this wa him the other night when I inadvertently turned his show on. Hate it. So tired of him parroting tired talking points last 25 plus years.
@AndrewDesiderio He’s doing the right thing. Nothing can be solved until the fundamental root cause is fixed. Voting is a privilege and it needs to be secured.
@Cernovich There should be required implanted birth control until self sufficient for some period of time. I am being tired of this nonsense. The wrong people have kids.
Are we morally obliged to keep feeding people who can’t feed themselves but continue to reproduce, creating exponentially more people who can’t feed themselves, and if so, is there a limiting principle to this?
