The state has a vested interest in making sure your family doesn’t inherit your land. To have it sell every few years on high mortgages is way more profitable to the city than collecting tax yearly as they and the realtors take huge fees every time the property flips.

I’m just trying to survive at this point. 20$ an hour with an MS degree and 20 yrs work experience. Separation led to me losing everything. Business I tried starting to capitalize on tech trends failed miserably. Realized that even if you have great ideas and education, personal disruptions can upend everything and there’s not a soft landing. Economic downturn ruined my best laid plans. Father passing unexpectedly after my investments were wiped out is making it so I can’t even get what I need to admin his estate and start over. The world is cruel. Be thankful and focused on todays blessings because tomorrow it could all be lost. Shift your focus to family instead of chasing trends. Unless you’re a wealthy kid getting any traction in the new economy will be a struggle. As they pay for publicity and attention at a higher clip than most of us can afford.

It’s like we’re looking into the code of the machine that is the universe and each breakthrough takes us one step closer to understanding how our reality isn’t what we perceive.
