b]To have to pay an annual tax for something you own and paid with your own money to possess is ridiculous...[/b]
You have no idea what other ridiculous taxes there are. And it becomes even funnier when these taxes are stolen, spent on all sorts of unnecessary nonsense, and even worse when these taxes are used to control your life. It's funny, right?This evil rigged system never allows a middle class hard working person to reach too further on improving his life standards. If he doesn't have a large income, he won't reach anywhere. To be a disciplined saver along decades of his life isn't enough.
If you want improvements in your life, pay more taxes. 
The more property you want to have, the more taxes you pay. If you can afford to buy it, then you can keep it.Moral of the story: don't save money for more than one month. As soon as you accumulated some amount of fiat, put it into an investment and make it generate passive income for you, although you should avoid banking investments, since they usually pay below the inflation. Go for Bitcoin and assets when there isn't enough money to invest in something bigger. There is no assurance you will defeat the evil rigged system which smash common citizens, but at least you will be trying to overcome it...
Investing is good. Better yet, know what to invest in (what will bring income, not losses). So far, bitcoin is the most accessible to achieve this goal.
