could buy & sell you and your house & what ever else you have and still have money left to buy the neighbor out.
AND if they run short the go to the CHURCH and borrow just like you do from the bank.
This certianlly maybe true with a lot of the Amish. A few of the ones I am refering to are ones that I met initially at the hospital I was working at in that area a few years back. They had some pretty large medical bills and I sure they were struggling to make ends meet at times. Heck all it takes is one serious injury or illness and it could wipe out a life savings in a very short matter of time. I also know a of a couple of Amish farmers in that area that were close to losing there farms because the property taxes here in NY can be pretty high. The whole region has been pretty depressed for a while now and its impacting everyone. The area I am refering to is in Cattaragaus County.
