New York Rips You Off

 Hello all well here's the story for the week. Stay away from New York!! They are getting crazy and I will tell you why. I needed to replace my old gas stove with a new one. I went to Lowe's and Best Buy looking for stoves. Lowe's is cheaper they are selling stoves for around $500 compared to the thousands that I saw in other stores. Anyway, the salesperson in Lowe's told me that with gas stoves in New York they can deliver them, but you need a permit to get it installed. Say what Now??? That's the new rule you need a permit to have a gas stove in New York city and if you live in the outer broughs.  The permit you need cost a couple hundred dollars. Then you need a plumber to hook up your gas stove which is another couple of hundred dollars and finally the delivery charges. So, my $500 gas stove is now over $1,000, That's crazy!

What happen to buying a stove and having the delivery people install it.  Them days are gone. New York City has a racket going. Where now I have to get a permit for a gas stove. Now if I wanted an electric stove, I could get it delivered, hooked up without all the extras that I have to do to get a gas stove.

It's Crazy right. So that's My story What Do you think?

Uncle Sam Darn You!!!

  Hello all well here's the story so far. Uncle Sam and the State got me. I did my taxes yesterday and the account told me that since I made less last year. I only get to pay $4,000. Compared to the $10,000 I paid the year before. Really Uncle Sam. You know a Sista trying to buy other bills with that money. I used to love doing my taxes because I knew I was getting a tax return. Not so much now.

I did learn a lesson from my accountant. I told him about my house that I was putting on the market for sale. He broke down for me the taxes I would pay on the sale of the house. I was shocked. It's a lot. I would come out with some money but not as much as I thought. I have to sell it anyway. I am not going to be a landlord again I don't like it. Beside the second house is costing me money. So, I have to get rid of it.

         Happy Spring, I am so glad it's getting warmer now I can get out more and do things.

                                      So that's my story what do you think?

Contestants

Hello all well here's the news for the week. I have finally nailed it down to two real estate contestants. I will be calling them this week and hopefully my house will be up for sale by the end of the month. I need to sell it need the money for medical and Retirment. I told you about that.

Also let me tell you how sneaky some real-estate agents are. A guy called me and told me that he was a real estate agent and wanted to see the house. I made an appointment with him. When he showed up, he had his partner with him. Which was a real estate agent I had previously interviewed and did not care for. I guess she wants that house and wanted to have her partner pretend it was a first-time interview for their company so that I would agree to see him. And if I liked him. I would give his company the listing for the house. Sneaky right.

Right now, the springtime is calling my name. Winter is over and it's time for the dreaded house improvement chores. The ones that cost big bucks. Like getting my house's foundation fixed. New windows. new garage door. Might need a new stove to. I hate to spend money. But things are needed. So, what can you do?

                                         Well, that's my story what do you think?

Interviews

 Hello all well here's the story for the week. I am doing interviews with real estate agents so that I can get my house back on the market. I told you what happen to the last Real Estate Agent that I had. Well Interviewing is not easy. The Real Estate agents that I have interviewed say the same old thing. I live in the neighborhood, I can get you cash buyers, my commission is worth the work I do, Sign right here etc. Some Real Estate agents do their homework like showing me the comps on houses in the area, and other stuff don't.

All I know is that I need a good Real Estate agent that is hungry to make a sell. I do have someone in mind, but I will keep you posted. Looking at my life it goes so fast and there were so many things that I wanted to do but was too afraid to do them. Like move to Las Vegas to gamble and live.  I wanted to go on a road trip in a RV for 3 months. Just to travel to states where the food is tasty, good and cheap. Life is so short if you have a dream do not wait do it!

                                             Well, that's my story what do you think?

Never

  Hello all well here's the story for the week. Never, I mean never get sick because it will cost you more than a mortgage payment sometimes.  I have some health issues that require me to go to specialists every 6 months to 1 year. Which if it wasn't for my insurance (Thank God) I would be broke and homeless already. I still pay out of pocket but it's not nearly as much as they ( New York Doctors) are charging for their services. For example, I got a statement yesterday from my medical insurance that my heart doctor is charging $2000 every 3 months to monitor the device that is planted in me for heart issues. That's crazy expensive. If I had to pay that out of pocket, I would be broke and on the verge of homeless in a month.

As of right now I am doing all I can to make money so that I can have a medical money cushion for the future. Again never get sick it's just too expensive.

On to other news I am in the process of interviewing Real estate agents so that I can sell my house. So far nothing.  It seems like they all have the same speech when they talk to you. I will keep you posted of what's or who I pick.

                                                 That's my story what do you think?
