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.
HOT TAKE: I don’t stand up for people who won’t stand up for themselves. Caitlin Clark keeps getting bullied and treated like a cockroach because she refuses to fight back just to avoid being called racist
@bacc4revenge@dom_lucre Not sure what you mean by telling us you’re black..but ok..
Not sure if you’re a father but believe me if someone did that to my kids I will be the firing squad..
