Monthly breathing room changes how people live. I have seen that firsthand. Why Homeowners Rarely Question Their Taxes There is an interesting thing that happens to human beings. Once we accept something as normal, we tend to stop analyzing it. If you have paid twenty eight or thirty thousand in taxes for ten years, it becomes part of the fabric of life. You might not like it, but you stop questioning it. Imagine if you were asked right now to pay thirty thousand dollars a year for a subscription service. You would laugh. But that is exactly what many people pay without realizing the weight of it. You're paying an eternal 'subscription' to live in your current town. I am not saying it is wrong to stay in the town you love. Far from it. Some towns come with higher taxes but offer so much value that the tradeoff is worth it. What I am saying is that many people pay high taxes without ever exploring the alternatives. And that is why I wrote this book, to help you explore the alternatives. An Analogy That Helps Make This Clear Imagine you went to a restaurant you have always loved. You sit down and order your usual. You get the bill, and it is $85.00. You shrug and pay it. The next week you try a new restaurant that you had never considered before. The food is better, the service is better, and strangely enough, the total is $60.00. If those restaurants were next to each other, you would think carefully before going back to the first one. But if the cheaper restaurant were ten minutes away, you might never have tried it unless someone specifically pointed it out.
