I talked with a friend tonight. He recently moved to Florida to work as CEO of a non-profit organization. We talked about tying flies (Fly Tyer Magazine) and swapped fish stories. He fishes much more often than I do and so had more and better fish stories to tell.

Because he lives near water, he fishes more frequently. It’s much more convenient for him. Where you live matters.

Then we talked about housing.

We’re in similar houses in terms of age, size, and features. But that’s where the similarities end.

His monthly property taxes are 4 times my annual property taxes.

In fact, his monthly property taxes are twice my total monthly PITI!

Where you live matters!
