Financial Picture Improves In Terry County
Local figures show Terry County families enjoy higher buying power than five to ten years ago as earnings rise faster than living costs. A typical $10 000 yearly household spends 2 hours 19 minutes on taxes and 1 hour 30 minutes on housing each day, with remaining time for other needs, while a round steak costs 14 percent more than seven years ago but costs less in work time due to wage gains.
