My mom paid off her house in 2003.
Thought that was it. Thought she was done. Thought it was finally hers.
Property taxes were $1,800 a year back then.
She’s retired now. Fixed income. Same house. Same neighborhood.
Property taxes are $24,000 a year.
That’s $2,000 a month.
On a house she already paid for.
She’s 71 years old and the government sends her a bill every year just to stay in her own home.
You never really own anything in America.
You just make payments to a different landlord.
@alphafox I watched a theater full of women judge men by pictures and their job titles. They rated dudes LOW. Then the job titles changes to obviously high paying jobs and asked new women to rate them. They were a LOT higher. Mythbusters episode.
@Kaylavosss She is 100% not ready for marriage. I wish her well in life and hope she grows, matures and finds a great Conservative Christian man, gets married and has lots of children and has a super fulfilling life.
@Sofia50020Sofia There are like 6 billion men. 6 BILLON. You couldn't us to agree on anything. BUT to answer your question. Generally a man seeking a future wife would find that disgusting. So she is limiting her potential of good men. So why do that?
@Gabbar0099 A human right? Well that means that zero effort has to happen for it to be true? Alas someone has to get the food, prepare the food, make sure it is safe and deliver the food for free, thus it is not a right.
@Yeenie_Mcbeenie I was just thinking how many jobs have been created by the homeless population the other day. I was thinking... was is 1 million? 5 million? or ZERO. I landed on ZERO.
@blacknredtext Old married guy here with children. A question for those that answered fit in her question. How many of you don't have an STD? How many of you are single dads? How many of you have been cheated on? How many of you are happy in life and didn't have a woman take 1/2 your stuff.
@ArchMonkFritz@Amyggirl45@LeahRain77 Perhaps, if though she is over 18, and he chose to be the best parent to her, sacrificed a ton for her and she started acting like this? He may have had enough and it is obvious he is hurt. She will of course spin it to make him the villain.
This heartbroken uncle raised his niece from childhood . He found out she told everyone that he “was a piece of trash and he did nothing for her”.
Here he is throwing all of her things on the front lawn !
Clearly this has affected him tremendously and judging by the amount of things it looks like he did his very best for her . Some people might say it’s too harsh or he’s overreacting but in this case, I don’t think so..
@istantruepeople@LeahRain77 How old is she? It looks like she is over 18 and thus if it was horrible at home, like you suggest, she could move out. It is also possible that this guy is a normal dude who sacrificed a TON and is really pissed right now for wasting his life & $$ on her.
@messedupfoods I mean this is one picture. He may have just finished his shift. Area is super clean and who knows what he is texting on his phone. That could be like 15 seconds and done. Now I still don't agree with a $15/hour min wage. I want the min wage gone.
@reddit_lies Ah Reddit. The same people/mods who hate Christians and have articles like "Why Jesus would support abortions in todays world, and why that is a good thing!" A normal leftist of say the 1970's today would be seen as a radical right winger today.
@GPAIndiana I do NOT recommend this, but some of my best memories is passing people on the left like this, when of course there is a hazard lane. Man they get PISSED but it sure brought joy to me. Extra bonus when it was a semi who camped out there.
If you're camped out in the left lane like it's a Sunday picnic, l've got news for ya-this ain't a campground. It's the passing lane.
So hit the gas or kindly get out da way before the rest of us start charging tolls. 🤣
@KathleenWinche3 Yep. Children and problems are the reason. Now 99.9% of the people have already had bloodwork done before marriage and they have that info. Back then? People SELDOM went to the doctor because it was all out of pocket.
@0calch1k Ah my man you ALWAYS take questions and answer with a question. "If I lost my job and was burned up in a fire and couldn't work again, would you take care of me and love me? You would be the bread winner for sure?"
@downbadcomment Future: Mom "You are dating someone?"
Son "Yes"
Mom "why haven't met her?"
Son "Because I am embarrassed by you. oh and you are not invited to the wedding"
Mom "You can't control me!"
Son "I am not, you are free to dress like a 304. We just won't be around you".
@reddit_lies Oh man I see so so so many women in their 40's that have massive depression from murdering their unborn child. I wish these women would talk to women in their late teens and early 20's.
