Everyone I know was polled too.
If you have an address, you’ll get polled. You may choose to ignore it, but you will receive the census questionaire in 2010.[/quote]At a $1billion price tag for us taxpayers, I better :)[/quote]
Continuing the hijack…Well considering it’s actually required under the constitution to determine congressional seats, we all better. 😉

Yes – I was polled in 2000 and 1990. It’s due to happen again in 2010.

I bought my house for shelter. Not for an investment. Not for a tax shelter…. but shelter for my family in the form of a roof. I’m 6 years into a 15 year mortgage and so my deduction is shrinking every year. My goal is to have a house that I own outright – no mortgage payments. Obviously – the longer I pay into the mortgage, the less interest, more principal I pay.
Unless you refinance frequently – that’s true for most of us… interest deductions go away over time.
If they give me the deduction, great… I’ll take it. But it was not a deciding factor on whether to buy a house. Long term stability was.
I don’t think I’m that unusual in my attitudes… well maybe in California I am… no one seems to pay off their mortgage out here… but my attitude is shared among my friends in other parts of the country.

ParticipantWait till your bundle intro price runs out. Mine just did and my bill jumped from $100 to $140… I called and am downgrading the stuff in the bundle I didn’t want, but took because it was cheaper to get the bundle… I have a landline and don’t need the phone… I have a tivo with cable cards and don’t need the settop. This will knock me back down to under $100 for cable and internet.
