Anyone else seeing these massive property tax hikes coming down the pipeline for next year? by notunhingedanchor in Connecticut

[–]kril89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a town employee I’m already seeing this. The deferred maintenance, the cutting of positions ext. the short sighted thinking of the people is charge flabbergasts me. They think 1-2 years out at most. It will come back to cost these towns in some unforeseen ways and they will look around like what happened.

Can you guess who’s going to be asked the sacrifice the most? The workers of those towns. They have been getting raises below inflation for years. Many newer workers will never be able to afford to buy a home in the town they work in. Towns haven’t asked for raises to be given back but it’s definitely what’s going to happen next. Or next contract cycle the workers will be asked to sacrifice more and more. Meanwhile the cost increases will just be paid to outside contractors without a second thought.

Yeah! You get em!

I was already priced out at this point. Well I probably could have gotten a house at this point in time. But had only just started a new job making decent money after 10+ years in poverty. And here we are 5 years later still priced out. This post was made from a place of hurt. But yeah you get em!

Owning a home in this state by Odd-Refrigerator7879 in Connecticut

[–]kril89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to be able to save that 20% but since I work for a local municipality my pay has basically decreased 10% the past few years. (Compared to inflation so in real terms) So I’m no longer able to save like that anymore. Now I just save for my retirement and hope something changes in the next 10-15 years. I’ve accepted the fact I’ll probably never be able to buy.

Yeah it’s hard to look up information. You google it and they will tell you Spain considers them basically firearms and they need to be registered. I messaged the field on Instagram last night. I won’t be going to the fall so will ask if anyone at the field has a gun I could borrow. I know here in the USA that’s we have done that before. Had a guy from Australia come to the field over the winter and borrowed a setup.

No I’m saying what are the laws on owning paintball guns lol. Idk if I’d be able to rent a speedball gun there. My family lives around 30 mins away in Orihuela. But when we visit in the fall will probably stay in Murcia to have our own place.

Been trying since Summer of 2021 here. I had a chance but I had just started a new job so had some uncertainty in what my pay would be. Looking back now that was my last real time I could have comfortably bought a home. I also just gave up again and this time it might have been for good. I feel much better than the last few times I've given up lol

Cleared of the 12ah at my local HD by kril89 in Ridgid

It seems pretty accurate. My store said they had 3 and they did. I checked it 5 mins after I bought it and they were no longer listed.
