Wait until you start paying the ridiculously high property taxes in Texas.
Wait until we pass a law, in TX, that you have to be a property and/or business owner to vote. (LOL...Dreaming, again.)
At my current Minnesota residence, I pay $5,208 in property taxes based on an estimated value of $467k for real estate tax purposes. On top of that, I pay state income tax (9.85%), sales tax (6.75% to 7.25% - groceries exempt), state gas tax (6%), and if I happen to die while living in Minnesota I will also pay death tax (9-16%).
My plan in Texas is to by a “nice-ish” house that is surrounded by a whole lot of dirt, grass, and trees. I have no desire for a McMansion. Our hearts are longing for McAcreage instead. By the time we move we will be debt free. I think we’ll be fine on the property tax front.
