Inflation Rate Increase vs Fixed SS!Monthly Payments!!

G.T. · 04-12-2022, 12:38 PM

Hi to all, we have always lived hand to mouth, or out of pocket, which was never too deep even in the best of times!

I have always tried to hitch my dreams and goals to the ship that was leaving port, most of the time I got torpedoed before we even got out of the harbor. So, to keep it short, I was poor 50 years ago, and, I'm poor now! So inflation means to me, I only buy one instead of two? Lifes still pretty good, and so it goes... Best to all, til....lat'r.....GT....

we are receiving our current home appraisal statements from the local county boys......they raised my land value (.485 ac.) (the house is on a separate statement) from $23,000 to a nice round number----$100,000.00.

I have not cut a tree, added any decorations, no landscaping, built a fence, changed the drainage, ...nothing...so I will set a visit with the appraisal office and go have a chat....won't do any good, but will get them to recognize me as a 44 year owner of this property.
