Just the clothes on my back and a hope and belief that its going to be alright . 

He'll fall for her and the next thing you know, he'll be marrying her and buying a ridiculously expensive "starter house" with a fat mortgage.And then come the kids, and the next thing you know, of course they have to get an even BIGGER house, and new cars every three years ("for the safety for the kids" of course).They'll end up with a truly insane mortgage they can barely pay with nothing left over for pity's sake and he'll spend the next twenty years trying to pay it down while raising kids who have to wear designer clothes and have expensive hobbies.

“[C]hoice of personal expenditures” seems rather flippant when buying food, children’s clothing, gasoline, or utilities taxes.All taxes have negatives, but you’ll never see state trooper salaries paid exclusively out of bake sale proceeds.The only legitimate question is: Is the tax system sustainable? 

I would never make a claim under $10k anyway there’s too big a discount for no claims.In 25 years I’ve made two claims (both over $30k for toilet supply lines that burst in two different houses) and I ate a $3k clothes washer flood.

I hate sounding like a chicken little, but damn it, I'm going to have all my clothes on once the tide goes out. 

Some just travel with clothes, while we typically travel with quite a bit more. 

There is no smoking going on at that point, just the residual that was absorbed by their clothing, hair, etc.

They would have to go out to the street to smoke.While this may disqualify some potential tenants, those that I have shown the units to say that it is really a big plus to them since they don't smoke and don't like to smell it from the neighbors.In my experience, even if you tell them not to smoke inside, the smell always comes in on their clothes, or they smoke inside anyway.

You are going to pay for your kids supplies/clothing/school ect all year any way....why not let the kids "pay for it" themselves with money that wasn't subject to employment taxes?!?

For our property in Panama City beach, we have cloth furniture. if we go pet friendly there, i would likely swap out for leather furniture. easier to get the dog hair out of it than from cloth/fabric furniture.
