America’s housing dilemma: rent or own? Do what works for you

Pam Wanner4 years ago4 mins

Dear Editor, Buying almost anything today is expensive because of current supply and demand. Prices are too high on everything. Inflation is going through the roof. Speaking of a roof, everyone needs one over their heads. A place to live is a common need and growing dilemma. An elderly friend says she has had other elderly friends ask if they could move in with her. Her response is always, “I don’t want anyone else living with me,” and she seems very happy. Having to move in with family or a friend is less than ideal and is usually a strain…

It seems we are heading hell-bent down the path to Marxism since President Biden took office. Everything his administration has accomplished is to the negative.

Someone asked her how much money she made. “Nine dollars an hour,” she said. “I’ve worked here over two years and the pay has been $9 an hour. I’ve asked for a raise. I work hard.
