The part about the expensive house cannot be overstressed! A large house means higher expenses as long as you own it and live in it. Property tax is where you find a genuine wealth tax (that you must pay every year), plus learn the hard truth that you are only leasing your house from the government- just see what happens when you don't pay that tax bill- "your" home will be auctioned off by the county, and the police will put you out of it and on the street. Thanks for reminding people of these realities that no one wants to advertise.
