Nice house Pence got for selling out his country. He has never had a high paying job if I recall and his wife was a teacher. They likely didn’t save enough to buy that. Such a disappointment.
He 1) received an advance estimated to be 3-4 million for a book, 2) as a career politician which included VP he more than likely has pensions from each position and 3) due to his having been VP he has a platinum health care plan paid for by the taxpayers. But what he paid for that house still would take a chuck out of all of the above. He must believe that he will receive his pensions and have his healthcare paid for until he dies, which given the positions he held are probably a couple hundred thousand in pensions and would cover the expense of owning that house. But being a career politician he, like professional athletes, probably has no clue about personal money management and unless he has a mgmt. company handling his finances one could see him hitting a wall if any of his pensions were to vanish or be reduced.
