ok that partial[] point some small derivations
uhh
there's value to having property. if we have a place of our own, then we could secure an object to feel more comfortable that something stays consistent (mind doesn't).
it's likely there's some way to secure an object, don't know details. but it's likely this is much easier when one legally owns property.
property involves (a) funding initial purchase and (b) paying taxes we'd have to coordinate paying taxes, optionalyl getting a job. getting a job seems hard, but the big problem with money is karl spending it randomly, this is a bigger problem than earning it
property taxes vary from 0.18% (louisiana) to 1.89% (new jersey) and in between those there's often a low state adjacent to a high state the tax is a percent of value, so lower the lower the value of the property. so if one got a $100,000 piece of land in louisiana (and there might be places much cheaper than that), then that would be $18,000 a year which sounds high and reduces to 18/12=9/6=3/2= $1,500/month
to clarify, this math was incorrect by a factor of 100 and the real property taxes are tiny. 0.18 * 100,000 = $180
now $1,500/month still sounds very high, but my social security is higher than that. i could pay it. of course we'd have to add a mortgage onto the taxes. so let's look for cheaper spots in louisiana. this property is $20,000 for a third of an acre: https://www.landsearch.com/properties/3456-hardy-st-shreveport-la-71109/3869... it's not common to see property that cheap. but it's real. and people commonly engage mortgages which lets one pay for the property slowly over many years, so the $20,000 would be split up over some years. i'm not experienced with property taxes, but if we multiply the % by the $ then the taxes would be ... only $36/year.
you could have property for only $36/year.
it sounds like it did the taxes wrong the first time, i think i misuses 0.18% as 18% which is incredibly much higher .$100,000 comes to $180 when multiplied by 0.18% .
so property taxes are something that's possible. somebody could pay for minimal property taxes by begging for money.
want to buy cheap property :D ... busy with other errands. maybe interesting though! wonder how close i am to qualifying for a mortgage
some say we are supposed to wait for all the cheap properties to get bought / handled first T_T but maybe it doesn't matter ??? maybe $36 vs $360 is not that big a difference ??
like the biggest hurdle to having money is not spending it, the biggest hurdle to having property is not going through the process of buying it
so i missed my opportunity for property engagement but there's a little energy there :D
and it's much nicer to be landless than simply tortured :)
