My water bill is $150 to $200 in Shreveport. Back in college my apartment rent was $275 and that included water and electricity! My property taxes are over $300/mo for a mid-sized home nowadays. (with homestead exemption)
What is funny is that politicians and media always quote inflation at 1 or 2% per year. Prices have doubled in the last 15 years easy..... I'd say that year in and year out, it is more like 5% depending on if you buy gas and health insurance and home insurance and medical insurance and stuff like that. Many of my bills have gone up 10% or more each year. How can they say inflation is 2% per year? LOL
