The Homeowners insurance and property tax is due right now, or actually very soon, and it is the WORST time of the year.<BR/>Here's a little tip that has helped me out TREMENDOUSLY this year.<BR/>Back in the summer I checked out Terry's Village, the catalog, on line and shopped the clearance section while there was free shipping and for about $50.00 total I got gifts for all the extended family. I kid you not. Things that were originally $30.00 were under five. <BR/>Look at them after Christmas!

Instead of running around buying gifts and getting all torn up about traffic and stuff, we are donating! We are donating money, food and even time this year instead of giving gifts. We are donating these things in other peoples names for their presents. At first I thought it was the easy way out, but believe me The Food Bank and the Humane Society are in dire need this year. So, now, the Grinch has left the building and I feel like my heart is two hundred feet tall!!!!!Predohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11072164196308691583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7382713307162159887.post-23685070247017203712008-12-03T20:50:00.000-05:002008-12-03T20:50:00.000-05:00I know ... waaaa haaaaa haaaaa.

I argued that it should be several times that amount, based on neighboring homes, but THEY wouldnt listen.<BR/>So of course I ended up owing a ton when the bill came. The next year, the legislature kindly passed tax relief that cut my bill by around a third. The same year a tax levy for new schools was passed that wiped out most of the "relief." Then this year, the county reappraised my house, and apparently having not heard that prices are FALLING decided it was worth $25k more than it was last year--more than wiping out the remaining "relief"<BR/><BR/>Grr...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7382713307162159887.post-58734576846326171542008-12-03T14:20:00.000-05:002008-12-03T14:20:00.000-05:00I usually do the photo cards too.
