Navigating property taxes without losing your mind

"Watching those payments inch upward every month definitely tested my patience."

Haha, tell me about it... I just bought my first place last year, and when that first property tax bill landed in my mailbox, I legit thought it was a typo. Anyone else ever stare at their statement wondering if the city accidentally billed you for the whole neighborhood? Discipline is great and all, but does anyone have tips on how to stop nervously refreshing Zillow to see if your home's value dropped yet? Asking for a friend...

Haha, Zillow anxiety is real... I remember my first year, I kept checking obsessively too, convinced I'd bought at the peak. Eventually I just deleted the app—cold turkey—and honestly, life's been calmer since. Outta sight, outta mind, right?
