Don't mind me, i'm just venting
 

Opened up my property tax bill for the year and nearly hit the roof. $8K and what do i get for my money? Shit, thats what i get. School taxes are $4500 and we don't even have bus service and there are 25 pupils per class.

Then the fuel truck just left a bill in my mailbox (i'm opening it up now....lets see....) Holy fuck, $480 for 178 gallons of fuel!! I used to average $1k a year for fuel. cry:

I can't believe how much shit costs these days. I really feel sorry for younger people just starting out. Houses in my town start at $500k. How do people afford to buy it, then have to pay crazy taxes and pay to heat it? Fuckin' unbelievable!!

Also, on the flip side, i was getting ready to sell off a bunch of baseball cards i had as a kid (taking up room and i never look at them) and went to eBay to look around. Well, seems the market just crapped out on them. Good thing i never "invested" in them. It was just something i did as a hobby.

Like i said, never mind me, i'm just sitting here scratching my head and venting. I need to start robbing banks.....lol

welcome to the reason why I still rent. Housing is WAY expensive right now..which sucks

Holy shit dude! I thought I had it bad!
I'm in the UK so most of the stuff I can't relate to but I bet it equals
some of the crap we have over here.

It's all big business and screw the little guy.

2 words, wood stove.
We have a wood stove in our house and I think we fill our oil tank once a year when prices get real low.
AS for houses, really depends on where you are. A good house in my town goes for at least 200k but the average im sure is like 400k

penny pinching time i guess. :D

housing prices are why I moved away from the metro Detroit area, I got WAY more house for my money an hour away from Detroit. Houses in my area go from 150K to 500K

PooP

god damnit annoy:

gg arkan, this is why my family moved from Long Island 6 years ago

well I dont make enough to have a million dollar house. The house I have now would be about 100K more if it was in the Detroit suburbs. BTW where is "here" you have no location in your info

im 26 years old and i still live with my parents loney:

i cant afford to live on my own loney:

and old people act like we have it easier...HA!

What will piss you off more is the GT500 going for 150k on ebay right now.

Here the prices of houises has doubled/ tripled.

My parents bought the house we are living in right now for 250,000. Now its worth over 500,000. Most houses around here will not go for under 300,000, and thats a small ass house.
