I'm talking money. Stretching the paycheck. Incentives that truly work. Bozeman is rapidly running out of time to figure out how to allow us "normal folks" to live here. Let's get insanely creative and throw all the ideas on the wall before it's too late.
We all know that Bozeman is an expensive place to live, but is it the most expensive town in America? According to some information recently released, it could be.
We're in trouble. This isn't a "shake your head" broken record thing anymore. Montana towns are in deep, serious, fast-moving financial transformation. I've sugar-coated my personal concerns about Bozeman's change up until now. I can't do that anymore.
One of the most important lessons my grandfather ever taught me was to set aside money for retirement. After all, you want to be able to enjoy your golden years.
Home prices and property taxes are not on this list. However, in an age of constant internal Bozeman Bashing, there are still MANY things that I appreciate about living here.
With all the talk about Bozeman's housing prices, property taxes and the cost of living here in general, a few of us got together over beers to discuss long time residents not being able to afford living here anymore. (Socially distanced, of course.)
