Taxes Get Top Billing
In Houston Budgets
Where does the money go? How much are
Houston County families spending these days, and
for what?
Now that the recession is a thing of the past and
the rate of inflation is somewhat lower than it was,
local residents are in a better spending mood than
they have been for some time.
Their incomes are higher than ever, their
savings are substantial and their debts are less
than usual.
In budgeting themselves, however, before they
can determine how much they have available for
discretionary spending they have to provide for
their basic costs--for food, clothing, taxes and
shelter.
According to a recent study by the Tax Foun
dation, a non-profit research organization, taxes
are by far the biggest item in most household
budgets.
In fact, its figures show, it is not until the
average worker has been on the job for four full
months of the year that he makes enough to pay
his many Federal, state and local taxes.
Applied to Houston County and to the level of
earnings in the area, it means that about one-third
v .
reading textbooks the
teachers and aides made
use of a wide range of
materials and programs
designed for remedial
instruction, and programs
which were also of high
interest to the reader. Pre
test and Post-test data for
individual participants is
expected to yield evidence
of measurable success.
The summer program of
remedial reading was
funded by Title I of the
Elementary and Secon
dary Education Act of 1965
- Public Law 89 - 10 (as
amended) in the amount of
$67,737.00.

of the average family’s annual income, or ap- 1
proximately $5,650, is going for taxes.
Related to the 8-hour workday, the overall
findings are that taxes take all the money the
average worker earns during the first 2 hours and
39 minutes.
As for the rest of the 8-hour day, 1 hour and 32
minutes on the job is to pay for housing and
household operations, 1 hour and 5 minutes for
food and beverages, 39 minutes for transportation
costs, 29 minutes for clothing and 25 minutes for
medical and dental expenses.
The remaining 1 hour and 11 minutes is
available for other purposes, such as luxury
spending, savings, education, personal care and » <
recreation.
As a whole, it appears that the average Houston
County family is devoting 5 hours and 45 minutes
of each working day, or 72 percent of it, to
meeting its bills for taxes, food, clothing and
shelter.
On an annual basis, related to average family
income locally, it means that some $12,330 a year
is going for these basic necessities.
