Only until next Tuesday evening Bay! Then I'll be a wannabee billionaire! Even the annuity on that is ridiculous... MM does 26 payments and that works out to 61.5 mil/year before taxes and just under 40 mil a year after fed taxes... That qualifies as a decent lottery jackpot in and of itself, like winning a pot every year for 26 years. So you get to go broke every year, a couple of times, and still have many years left to try and "learn your lesson"...

Meanwhile, back at the doublewide, we're singing...…

Honey they're bringin' out a TV crew
They want to do a story 'bout me and you
They'll be stringin' up bright lights in the backyard
There'll be cameras on their shoulders
We'll be readin' cue cards
Leave them long johns on the line
If the kids look dirty, that'll be just fine
They're gonna put us on
Lifestyles of the not so rich and famous
They want to see us go hog wild
Over beans and barbecue
They want to see my Fairlane up on blocks
The holes in all our socks
Talkin' 'bout lifestyles of the not so rich and famous
Tell 'em bout your mama and the bowling league
Tell 'em bout junior and his baseball team
I'll show 'em my nine point buck on the wall
I'll blow a few times on my new duck call
Let 'em see ol' blue how he sleeps all day
We'll bring out the Elvis TV trays
They're gonna put us on
Lifestyles of the not so rich and famous
They want to see us go hog wild
Over beans and barbecue
They want to see my Fairlane up on blocks
The holes in all our socks
Talkin' 'bout lifestyles of the not so rich and famous
Yeah our idea of high class livin'
Is sittin' on the porch on a cool night
Our Champagne and Caviar
Is an RC cola and a moon pie
I'm talkin' 'bout lifestyles of the not so rich and famous Lifestyles of the not so rich and famous

I don't typically listen to "this kind" of music... More into the classic rock genre...

Maybe so.....but this kinda fits the sit-choo-ate-shun here...…

Regarding property taxes, my property taxes in McKinney, TX, were $9000/yr. Homeowner's insurance was $3500. Now, my property taxes are around $1800/yr and homeowner's insurance is around $900 IIRC. Makes a big difference in the cost of living!

High rent district for sure!

Shoot....I only have 3 1/2 acres and it costs me $750 a year. That was last year. We got a notice its going up. Haven't gotten the tax papers yet. Cant wait to see what it is now.

"only" 3.5 acres and $750 a year? Our rented out house with > $7K annual property tax is on a 44x100 lot. Funny thing is years back it was "low rent" but the neighborhood is on the corner of a bay in Lake Champlain and people with more money than brains started paying way over market to buy a place, rip it up and build new. Location, location, location.
