I seen this happen in Montana the taxes went up so fast that alot of folks on fixed income just could not handle it.. First go threw the bills again and cut evrey place you can.. Take more control of all exspences pay attention to utilaties and gas .. yes if you can get another part time job it will help.. But in the end you will probaly have to down size you home... Becareful and gaurd your credit scores so if you have to down size you will have high enough scores to get a conforming loan ther fore getting you the best APR avaiable at that time You are going to have to make some dissions think things threw carefully Good Luck

Poor financial health is the plague of the 21st century. Why? Because NOT ONE of us were ever taught in school how to effectively manage our money, or our time! This has caused snowballing debt, bankruptcies, business failures, divorces in record numbers and it has destroyed the retirement dreams of millions.

there are number of way to manage your cash flow. you need to find out what you can afford and perhaps refinance for lower montly payments on your house.
sometimes you can take adventage of 0% financing on new credit cards that may allow you to pay your prop. tax over time. be careful of finance charges that may apply, read the offers carefully.
of course, cutting back on spending also helps. (including utility bills.... A/C, watering the lawn and other stuff)
good luck.

Get a tent, move to the woods and tell everyone to kick rocks... or quit moaning about and do whatever it takes to make it. (Just like the rest of us!)
