This is Texas which has no income tax, so they have high property tax. It’s about 1% per annum based on the appraised value of the property. Plus if it’s a newer neighborhood, you pay an extra amount for the cost of infrastructure until it’s paid off, usually called a MUD (municipal utility district) tax. Mine is an extra 1.2% so I’m paying roughly $1200/month in property taxes for my residence.
You refill the tank with bottles of ink. I haven’t yet had to buy more bottles after two years. They are inexpensive.
Finding my husband after he passed away in his sleep. He was 56 and had a bad heart, but this was still unexpected and awful. It’s been six years and I still struggle with intrusive flashbacks of the scene, though not as frequently as in the beginning.

My son dropped out for a couple of years after his father died and he was failing everything due to depression. He worked a delivery job and paid off loans, then went back and finished. It was easier when he went back – two years of maturity and working for a living made a big difference. I think if you focus on paying off your debts and saving, you will find in a few years that you are motivated and ready for success.
Yes. It happened to my friends. They both lost their jobs and couldn’t pay the property tax on their fully paid-off house, so it was foreclosed and auctioned off.
Oh heck yeah, I do the zoom so at least I don’t have to get up earlier and drive there. They keep giving me grief for it, though.
Mine appears to be down. First Service CU
It’s racism, pure and simple. In my hometown, rural south, the schools were forced to integrate in 1973. The next year, a private school opened and magically only white kids were allowed in. All the talk about quality of education and school choice boils down to this: conservatives don’t want their kids to be in the same building with black and brown kids.
Even more of a shame that other people’s children are collateral damage
Where I live, you can’t sell them without proof of ownership, so the insurance has gone way down.
I’m retired and I can finally follow my body’s clock. Bed at 3:00 am, get up around noon.
The only obligation I can’t readily schedule to my liking is worship service on Sunday.
That is an excellent, succinct explanation
We really need to add textbooks into that. It’s absolutely a crime to charge hundreds of dollars for a book that cannot be resold.
I wasn’t very representative even when I WAS a teenager. I was bullied quite a bit, though.
Sadly, you have a point. Somebody with good support at home and a circle of friends can weather this sort of thing, but others may feel helpless or hopeless. There needs to be an effective place to turn to for kids who are being bullied. Unfortunately that doesn’t seem to exist.
I see your point. In that way it’s just like any other bullying, though more personal. Unfortunately, society hasn’t done a good job of coming up with workable solutions for bullying. In this case, dragging the culprit behind the bleachers and letting the girls take turns kicking him in the nuts would be my go-to, but you can’t do that sort of thing anymore.
The more common this becomes the more easily it will be dismissed.
TBF we are talking about unrealized gains. Their investments are worth more on paper, but until they sell them, the actual profit or loss will fluctuate. It would be an accounting nightmare to figure tax on unsold investments every year. I do, however, think capital gains should be taxed at the same rate as wage income.
