I know goeduck. But I do feel sorry for those who wait until they are near retirement and THEN plan their finances. My overall goal was to retire early. Fate ensured I could at 40.
We sought out a well trusted financial planner - early on. His advice was GOLDEN.
When we came down from AK in '82 we built our house here that year with funds received from our house sale in AK. Since '82 I have had nothing financed. Nothing to pay off. The biggest debt I incur - those annual, miserable property taxes.
WA state has what is called - property tax relief for seniors. It's NO RELIEF. It's a delay in payment. The taxes plus interest are still owed - they are delayed to a later date. Some relief. So ...... I grit my teeth and pay up every year. Life goes on ............
