“I agree with you on everything you said.”
Plus these numbers into any calculator:
$140k per year
Single
$19,200 annual mortgage interest
$4,800 annual State Income tax
$4,800 annual Property tax
There’s AT LEAST 1 million of those folks in each of CA, NY and NJ. And there’s at least 30 Republican House members from those 3 states alone that are likely to be unelected over it.
Another scenario: Run the number at nearly any income level for a family with 4 or 5 kids.
$4,800 annual State Income tax
$4,800 annual Property tax
Right there, the first line is your biggest problem................
$19,200 mortgage interest alone based on a $140K salary? You're screwed bro. I'd love to see the house you bought for that rate and money.
But it all comes back to your state and its taxes doesn't it? That's your problem, you choose to live there..........
