“What’s wrong with this picture? 55 years old? Retired? A “fire protection supervisor”? A $1M house?!? That costs about sixty grand a year! The property tax alone is ten grand a year! ”

The UT almost always profiles people with absurd govt pensions. Haven’t you noticed that when they do their Sunday financial makeovers, usually on couples who both have lavish govt pensions. Walking through parking lots it seems half the cars have DOD stickers. Really, what percentage of people in SD work for some form of govt? I think their pensions and housing allowances are a huge contributor to the runaway prices. What about mentioning someone who isn’t financed by the taxpayer, who evidently are in the minority here.
