I LIVE ON UNDER $17,000 a year.

$33,000 would be nice—but I have NO MORTGAGE/NO CAR PAYMENTS

I BOUGHT A HOUSE IN SAN FERNANDO VALLEY IN 1966 FOR $25,250.

TODAY, EVERYTHING AROUND IT IS ASKING OVER $750,000.

GLAD I AM OUT OF CALIF.

THAT PRO.

PROPERTY was .6 OF AN ACRE. I NOW HAVE 38+ X THAT ACREAGE

CURRENT PROPERTY TAXES ARE $1025.00 NOT OVER $8,000.

MUCH LESS CRIME. QUIETER. SAFER. CHEAPER COL.

I was thinking along similar lines. Who knows how much it would be eroded by inflation in 26 years?

Article said “nearly $17”, when “$17” or “about $17” would have been fine. I read it as 17M, which made no sense.

Some states require you to disclose your identity. I don’t know if you can remain behind a trust.

I promised pianos to my sister and a friend. Another piano, a couple of pinball machines and a dart board for me. And a nice pair of shoes.

“Some states require you to disclose your identity.”

Yeah, California is like that.......you can always thank that state for finding new ways to get a person robbed or murdered.

A million dollars is nothing where I live. It might buy a really really small fixer upper upper.
