Re: A pipe dream I think you may find a correlation between the numer of 'parasite singles' and the size/cost of government. In the old days, it was possible to own a home, nice car and have the wife stay home and raise the children, all while having enough left over to save for the future. Oh, eh, income tax back then was less than one percent and property taxes... $12/year.  |

$12 property taxes....
less than 1% income taxes...
I own lots of things, and they are all debt-free. Personal responsibility and smart money management can be a wonderful thing.  |
