[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Insurance and tax hikes are DEEEE stroying us.  They eat up any yearly raise and then some. My take home pay has gone e down every single year even after pay raises because of taxes and insurance.  It is an absolute onslaught.[/quote]

Same with us- health insurance has gone up by 150$ per month for 3 of us, so now is over $1000 per month. Home property tax increased by $2000 last year and now is $1000 per month. Our yearly HHI is only about $210K. We don't go anywhere out to eat except maybe 4 trips per month to Burger King ( for my child who likes it). We drive old cars ( 12 and 10 year old), so we will need to replace them in a few years for sure. I'm maxing out my 401K and my husband is retired from government, but works part-time. I buy groceries very strategically ( healthy foods though) on sale, use coupons,  promotions,etc. at Costco, Safeway, Whole Foods, Aldi. My salary went up but not enough to keep up with the rise of bills/groceries.[/quote]
