Every two years as long as I can remember the Minnesota exemptions were increased. But guess what, this year – 2014 – the Minnesota Department of Commerce has announced that there will be no increase in the Minnesota State exemptions. Here’s a video I recently posted about this. Some day I’ll get the lighting right when I do these videos.
This is based on some statistics that they have showing that apparently there has not been enough inflation to trigger any increases. This would indicate that the cost of buying a car has not increased, the cost of buying a home has not increased, and the cost of household goods and furnishings and appliances has not gone up.
I am inviting your comments and feedback. Has there really been no increase in the cost of buying a house, the cost of buying a car or the cost of buying home furnishings and appliances during the past two years? If those costs have gone up in other parts of the county, have they not also increased in Minnesota?
Do you think the MN Department of Commerce is right, or have you experienced some price increases in the past two years?
