2nd Shift....
- Thread starter stosh
- Start date
3:00 PM here....not that I work it, but that's what time it starts.
Uh oh... this doesn't sound good.
Mortgage jumped $400 ??? what do you have an Adjustable rate ?
Nope we estimated 7500 for taxes and our school taxes alone were $6900 and our property taxes are going to be like $4500. So they bumped us up for the difference this year and next year.
$12 K for taxes !!!! WTF is your Tax rate ???
Jeez. I pay $1K a year in property taxes.
My mortgage + taxes + insurance is less than Stosh's tax bill.

Yeah it's bad around here. My house is only worth $247k based on the town's appraisal.
**** that man my rent is equal to about $1000 a month before bills and tax. i cant wait to buy a house. better than living in a tiny matchbox sized thing. but saying that i do work 70hr weeks normally
i think that tax rate is classed as "bend over you cant "afford any lube, also you cannot afford for me to take my rings and braclets off".
My parents are well up over 15k.
I think you need to have a conversation with whoever estimated your taxes. Not that you can get out of paying them, but I'd call just to ream someone out for that. It should have been estimated by your mortgage people and/or the closing attorney.
Shifts are pretty standard. Second shift starts between 2:00pm and 4:00pm. Third shift starts between 10:00pm and 12:00pm.
Sorry to hear it, stosh

Does all of NY suck like this?
Southern NY. We're right on the cusp, we have NO commercial tax base and we still have some farms so the residence pick up the bill for the schools and the towns.
Remind me Not to complain about my Home owners tax.
Wow ! that is steep!
EDIT: that is close to $50 per $1000 Holy Sh!t thats High!!! Mine is only at $15

We had a similar occurance recently. Trying to sell our house but couldn't so we have renters, two months after we got them in and signed our payment jumped 250 due to taxes. Friggin figures.
I thank Jebus everyday for the Butte's high dropout rate, we're saving a bundle on the free lunch program.
I say screw the 2nd job - send your wife out to work the second shift.

Pretty much, though I'm better off than Stosh. I live alone in a 1500 sq ft house assessed at $147k and pay about $4k/yr in taxes. We do have the STAR program here that reduces your taxes based on whether or not you have kids in public schools, fixed income, elderly, etc and I get a partial exemption. The town I live in is lucky enough to be a pilot program for a 100% annual reassessment. The next town over has houses that haven't been reassessed in nearly 30 years. The STAR program is getting overhauled by the new governor and I'll likely not qualify for anything in the near future.
I know several families paying in the $12-15k range in annual taxes. Considering we have a rather poor infrastructure, slipping school system, and I don't send kids to school or use any of the social services it's easy to feel ripped off. I'm in the Southern Tier of NY, pretty much no man's land.
There are people around here paying $20k+.
I just did a hot tub sale at the Orange County Fairgrounds last week. It was the worst show I've ever done, only sold one. Now at least I can understand why...
Ha, I heard about that show on the radio the other week and I thought to myself the last thing anybody is going to buy right now is a hot tub.
I will however take one off your hands for free though.
Most shows at the OC Fairgrounds suck.
We have actually had REALLY good shows there in the past. In fact last spring we did one and sold about 65 units in three days. Just to put that into perspective, most spa dealers barely break 100 for their whole year.
Unfortunately even with the economy being what it is, we still have to TRY to move inventory for the local dealers.
I'm sure that if you go to Orange County Pools they may allow you to "warehouse" one over the winter since they are still stuck with about 45 (or about $270,000 of inventory) to sit on for the winter months.
By the way, any good riding close to that area? I will be back up there in the spring.

We have some great riding up here! Aint no French Creek though, mostly flatter.
Warehouse one huh?
Fawk man..... our pay scale here is better but it makes me wonder if it's worth it.
Backing away from Property taxes for a moment, and back to the two jobs.
As an Auto tech I work five days a week, and for the bikes, either one or two days a week. SO I dont do the second shift, I just work near every day.
Back to Property taxs, Damn some of you guys are getting screwed on your taxes. Our new house the home payment is 890, total mortgage is going to be 1153. which includes taxes, interest, and Ins. And I picked my own provider for the Ins, I wanted better coverage than what the mortgage company was offereing.

How much is your house worth?
If more 
listened to country music, they'd know it's "seven to three...three to eleven...eleven to seven".

Yup...an a big ol' pile of it.
I love that song... the same way I secretly like Country.
140K is what it is closing for. which here in Cali is how you figure your Property taxes. 100% financing.
I havent seen tha actuall Appraisal though, I know we are walking into it with enough Equity that we dont ahve to have the Loan Insurance So at least 20% over what it is closing for
Thats good, at least you wont have to travel far. But damn 12 hours a day just sounds painful. How many days a week will you be working this schedule?
Good Luck Stosh
What are you doing on the 2nd job ?
