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
The world is my urinal

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

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.
