Hell, I can not even imagine the tax burden on a $300,000 home. How about HOA fees to keep up the water supply, streets, community parks and play areas? What's that take? $250K/annum gross to cover local, state, federal taxes, mortgage, insurance, and pay for the pickup used in the assault and murder?
Last time I checked the County thinks my house is worth close to half of that, and I’m living on what’s left of a Texas teacher’s salary after property tax, income tax and employer health insurance and the 40% of my take home I’m currently throwing at post-divorce debt.
I do agree that trucks are expensive 🙂
