If I weren't subject to extortionate taxes, I'd have my house paid off and a new car in my driveway.

I paid $70,000 in FIT in 2000 and $19,500 in SIT (CA) that year. Two years of taxes exceeds the purchase price of my current home. Another 6 months would purchase both of my trucks in total.

Either you purchased your home 40 years ago or you're exceptionally thrifty with your choice of home for your income! :)
