The Frugal Girl

While we were still renting an apartment, I researched areas with lower property taxes, scouted out my ideal neighborhoods, and waited for a smaller, less expensive house to come on the market. Definitely not worth the drawer space. We rented at first, but the rental situation in our new town was poor. Childhood joy.

Get a property tax assessment. Your tax bill could be incorrect. Your state or province may be overbilling you for the cost of your personal property.

Although we live in the Midwest US, every weekend (and weekday during summer months) we see folks in their pickups hauling boats on trailers.
