Increasing Property Taxes

Image
Introduction about How Taxes Have Risen The YouTube channel "Off Grid with Doug and Stacy talks about, among other things, how the rate of taxes in America is always on the increase. Doug and Stacy have an off-the-grid farm in the Midwest. The videos on this YouTube channel are valuable to those who care about living off the grid and not being subjected to the constant increase in property taxes and other costs. Doug and Stacy do escape much of the expenses that one has to pay in the grid but they cannot escape the increasing taxes that everyone, including this couple, has to pay.  Note If you like my content please subscribe, follow, and share my content.

An Utopian Government Suggestion

What does a Utopian and Righteous Government look like? The most important issue/benefit would be that the bills in this country would be charged according to people's income.  If you are low-income, then you don't pay taxes on food, housing, clothes, school items, healthcare, etc. and their housing costs get controlled by the government and the cost cannot go above what this family can afford. If taxes are required then only a small percentage. If you are medium income then you pay only a percentage of the above-mentioned items. Also, their taxes and costs are controlled to a standard that they can afford. If you are wealthy with a mansion then you need to pay the highest tax on everything.

This is How the High Cost of Living Affects Americans 1) Homeownership Expenses Homeownership is very expensive now in America. This includes the land the home is sitting on. The Average Home Price in the United States in 2023 Average home prices are about $416,100 in 2023. The median home sales price is $416,100 as of the second quarter of 2023. That's a 26% increase from 2020, when the median was $329,000. Note: All these high prices are constantly going up including all the other costs mentioned below. 2) Yearly Land and Home Tax  As an example, the median real estate tax paid in the United States overall was $2,971 (a year and going up constantly), while the median home value was $268,800. That makes the effective property tax rate for the United States 1.11%. 3) Yearly Upkeep of Your Home How to work home maintenance into your budget. As a general rule, you should expect your annual home maintenance costs to amount to 1% to 4% of your home's value. This means if your home

The Positives and Negatives of Inflation

  How Inflation/Recession Benefits the People Positives for Low-Income/Poor People Less money to eat out and being forced to eat at home is a healthier option. Maybe some people may also grow a garden which is even healthier (as long as the water bill stays stable). Being healthier also means no longer having to go to the doctor for illnesses caused by unhealthy fast food, etc. People can't afford expensive doctor visits anyway as it stands now. People are much less able to afford car insurance or buy cars and now ride the bus or bicycles. This is a healthier option for them both physically and financially and it benefits the environment. People won't be able to afford to buy a home so realtors lose money and go bankrupt but the people will do well not having to worry about having to pay huge costs for home ownership. This will lead people to better sleep not having to worry about the payments. ======================================================= The Downside/Negatives of In

Seven Reasons why Survey Panelists are Underappreciated

Seven Reasons Why Survey Panelists are Uunderappreciated Online:   This is a Personal Experience Blog 1) When there is inflation, which happens most of the time, surveys are longer in length with more crazy questions than ever before and it seems to be getting worse. The majority of these survey companies, not all, take advantage of the panelists and they only pay in cents. 2) Answering surveys makes one tired because this is brain work, and not being appreciated is very hurtful. 3) Very few survey companies are honest and pay according to how much work a panelist is doing. Not paying enough is the worst problem with survey companies. It can take a whole month to make $20 at one survey company. 4) Many survey companies cheat the panelist out of their points or dollars. This is how they do it: You have done a survey for up to 30 minutes or 30 minutes and then it stops and says "This survey is not available now do you quit? Then you lose all your points and the help desk is not goin
