within the last five years our household income went from over 100K per year to +/- 35k. if you removed property taxes from the equation we could actually exist, because of where we live and how cheaply we got into our house. but if the property tax scale continues we will be taxed right out of here. it fits into my plans to leave this place, just not quite so quickly.
i would not be able to begin to express how two people would be able to retire, either in a retirement community or in regular housing. $24k per year in social security (assuming they get the max) and some retirement income (assuming they had it before most companies dd away with it) certainly doesn't add up to much. if the house is paid off then they might be able to do it...
oh, and don't get me started on gas prices. they're still over $2/gallon.
