      Working for. That doesn’t mean paralegal. Reception, copy, courier, title clerk, mail room, etc

        That’s a fair point. But at the very least it can be said she should have had the resources not to be surprised by this.

            Not maybe. Definitely.

            She “knew the taxes could go up some”, and they had the resources to basically build an entire house.

            This is poor/no planning, and entitlement.

      Reminds me of when some dumbass i worked with was ranting about owing the government too much money. Turns out he was borrowing from his 401k to do a home renovation. Which of the 1000 things you have to check as read and agreed didn’t clue you into the fact that you will be penalized for doing that?
