Take Advantage Of Los Angeles’ High Cost Of Living With An Estate Sale

Screen Shot 2014-02-14 at 2.46.01 PMThe cost of living in Los Angeles is outrageous. You have to deal with a lot of different taxes. You have one of the highest personal income taxes in the nation. There is at least a 10 percent sales tax on everything you buy. There is a fuel tax that is tied to the price of a barrel of oil, so the tax rises exponentially as the price of oil rises. It makes for the most expensive gas on the continental United States. Then there is the price of food and rent. It can all really add up and make it difficult to live the life you want to live. It is part of the reason they call this place “Tinsel Town.”

But there is a way you can take advantage of the high cost of living when it comes to furniture and housewares. You can have the nicest things money can buy for a steep discount.
