Thats sad,if true,,however if your home isnt paid off by the time youre 84...you should sell it and buy some cheaper one!
One never "owns" there home whether it is paid off in full or not. Just paid my taxes this week which has increased 6x while my wages increased 3x. Many retirees are in much worse shape and with all other expenses also climbing simply can not afford the rapid increase in taxes (rent to government). If the rent isn't paid they are kicked out of the homes THEY paid for.
Until governments get their acts together this situation will only get worse. If you aren't part of the solution then YOU are part of the problem. MYOB unless you are willing to help.
My house utility bills including property tax are 350- 400$ month..
I get 1200$ month pension..
I also have enough saved to live on and travel too..btw medicare is free in my province.
My point still stands,,IF someone cant afford their house they need to buy cheaper one..even it means moving to smaller town out of the city,
Its that simple..
And I agree if its not on your property dont worry about it,only when someone does something illegal call the law..
