OK, that all makes sense. Now I bought my house 2 years ago, and, according to a real estate person ( a friend who is no longer in it) the value of my house went up by at least $30,000. Sounds great eh? NO! my taxes will also go up, and, if I sell it, I will have to live somewhere, so, I will be faced with some other home that just went up 30 k. Maybe we will all end up in the Neil Young Center.

The love of money is the root of all evil.
