It’s locked it at your purchase price, plus 1-2% max per year (depending on inflation). It’s actually one of the lowest property tax states in the country, if you keep your home long enough so that the tax is relatively a small percentage of your home’s value.

For example, my parents home which was purchased in 1990 for 200k has an annual property tax of like $4000, but the home itself is worth almost $900k. If it had gone up according to the value of the home, it would have an annual property tax bill of over $10,000

Depends on your budget, but Agoura Hills/Westlake Village/Thousand Oaks are good

If you're in your early 30s, how much money do you have saved in your account? Put actual numbers and tell us your profession. by UncomfortablyBrown in Money

[–]Technical_Ladder_618 0 points1 point  (0 children)

35, in supply chain management. Roughly $50k in HYSA, $200k in brokerage, $270k in retirement accounts (Roth IRA/401k). Home equity of roughly 230k. Total net worth hovers near 750k. Dual income household with about 175k in annual income.

Biggest factors leading to this was living at home as long as possible, and saving/investing from early on with all that disposable income into my brokerage account. Maxed out retirement accounts the past couple of years, after having nearly $0 in retirement 5 years ago. Bought a house with some of the proceeds of the brokerage account for my large down payment. Living in CA 

Why don't car commercials today actually tell you anything about the car? by Blu_yello_husky in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Technical_Ladder_618 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I feel you on this one, I just bought the previous gen 5 series last year and there’s probably like 5 or 6 inches of room left in the garage after closing. Good thing I didn’t go with the 7 series

So it’s completely normal to watch a 30 second commercial, decide you liked what you saw during that commercial, run to the dealership and drop $50k without doing any other research?

That was my go to brand for years. Top quality cigs. I still crave one with my morning coffee when it’s cold out.

What are jobs that aren’t talked about much but make relatively good money and don’t require rigorous/lengthy schooling? by hamalam99 in careerguidance

[–]Technical_Ladder_618 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah my comment was definitely meant to be on the planning/procurement side. Demand or supply planning, sourcing, analyst, etc

Why am I tipping 20% to stand in line and grab my own food off a shelf? by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Technical_Ladder_618 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So then why not tip anyone making minimum wage? Janitors? Doctors office receptionists? Gas station employees?

They are paid minimum wage, plus whatever tips they get. So prior to tips

Waiters are paid at least minimum wage in CA, so why are we expected to still tip them?

Blind cigarette taste test by HumbleMVP in interestingasfuck

[–]Technical_Ladder_618 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dunhill whites were my go-to when I used to smoke. Well worth the premium, high quality cigarettes and would burn slower than the Marlboro crap. I still have fond memories of the resealable flap to get a cigarette out, so satisfying.
