i have alergies as well, i hate the spring, but fall is my favorite time of the year
Ouch, that's a steep bill. My electric bill averages about $150-$160 all year round. I have an electric heat pump with propane back-up. It only burns propane when it's below freezing temps outside. I spend about $350 per year on propane. The unit is one of those 98% effecient units. When the temperature averages around 75-76 degrees, which is like 2 months per year, my electric bill comes in under $100! I couldn't imagine having a $700 electric bill...hell my mortgage is only $790!!

Good morning @Donald Bickers
Yeah @Taver13 we've discussed it before...definitely a prime spot where you're at. A spot like that around here would cost a million or more...but your taxes would be about $700-$800 a year. However we don't have all the services some of you have. I know everywhere is different in what is provided. A lot of places around here have well water and septic, but if you do have water and sewer service, you must pay for those extra, averages around $500 a quarter from what I understand. I personally have well water and a septic system, so I don't know exactly. Also, we pay for our own trash pickup @ $65 per quarter, I know a lot of locals in NY and NJ trash pickup is provided in your taxes, not sure about elsewhere in the US of A. Most towns don't have police, just State Police...the towns that do have police, they are limited in their jurisdiction to just inside town limits. For example, I live in Dagsboro, but in a rural part, not in town...Dagsboro has 2 police offices, but they have no jurisdiction on my property because I don't live within town limits. If I call 911, they might respond if there isn't a state boy close by, but the state boy will also show up. We don't have street lights on most streets or roads, only highways. Sounds funny I know...but that is a huge savings to the state...think about all the street lights in states like NY and NJ, and the electric bill associated with them...ironically, that's where A LOT of tax money goes, paying and maintaining those lights. School systems aren't the greatest around here, although they've gotten drastically better over the years. Sadly that is all going to the wayside due to this common core bullshit. Everywhere has its ups and downs I guess. I definitely couldn't afford to live where you are...my social security disability would just cover your taxes and leave me with a couple thousand left over.

Mine too! I love fall. I have allergies too but not terrible. I take an allergy pill and I'm good. I am most allergic to grass.
Taxes in this state are out of hand. The guy across the street from me pays 30,000 a year! Can you imagine? Granted he lives in a million dollar house but still.
We have no street lights. We are septic and well (country). No cops only state police. We have to pay for garbage pickup.
Yeah I have an electric heat pump as well but no propane back up, so when it gets below freezing is when it hurts me the most... that's when it gets up around 375... I've had months where my electric bill is only 85 bucks... heat pumps work great as long as it stays above like 40 lol
That's just crazy...what does all the tax money go to then? Will they drill you a new well if yours dries up, or replace your septic if it fails? I wouldn't be happy myself with that arrangement. $30,000 a year for nothing is...well bullshit!
Have to run out to post office and laundromat to wash this giant king-size comforter. It won't wash correctly in my washing machine. Wife's orders! Catch up with you all after awhile. I might login from the laundromat while I'm there as well...we'll see.

No they won't. My fathers septic got messed up and it was our responsibility to have a new leech field put in. Really our taxes go towards nothing I can figure out. And they go up every year. It just sucks.

i have water, but pay for it based on usage, but it starts at 35 a month for the service then the usage harge, sewer and garvageare taxed. we have county, and state police in my town but alot of towns around here also have local juridictions either cause they are high crime towns, or are a very rich area. on our taxes i get taxed for the police, and a seperate tax for the headquarters. what the fuck is up with that? my town alone has 4 firehouses, our roads are trashed cause the plow drivers suck, and they dont fix the potholes caused by them til like october, so they never have a chance to cure and settle before they get ripped up again. our police department is corrupt, as is our local government. most people in office on long island are mob connected.

I have heard that, wasn't sure if it was true or not. Now I know. Sucks. This state really drives people out with there bullshit taxes. We do have good roads, I guess that is a plus.
Only two cities (Wilmington and Newark) in our state have paid firefighters...all the rest of the state is volunteer firefighters.

if you look at my computer screen, Pandora thinks i still live in san diego
So I'm sitting in the laundroma...this is the first time in my life ever in one. We had laundry rooms in the dorms when I was in college, but they were much different. I'm trying to figure out this machine and a nice old lady comes over and helps me. Thankfully she was here, otherwise I probably wouldn't have figured it out on my own. She went on to inform me that regulars make fun of people like me. "People like me!" She explained that there's people who come in regularly and wash their clothes...either live somewhere without a washer/dryer, theirs is broke, or whatever...then there's people like me who just come in to wash our big blankets and/or comforters. Sheesh. I thought she was talking about people like me in regards to vaping, cause I'm certainly vaping while I'm waiting, chilling out on my tablet too. Went next door to Dollar Tree abound got a soda and a bag of chips...what a healthy lunch. Did you know you can get a 20oz bottle of soda at Dollar Tree for $1? I didn't know that until today...they're $1.79 everywhere else around here. Learn so much out and about today.
