    PFD interesting bonus that would come in handy for sure, Kinda like Ontario's carbon Tax benifit or HST/ GST ., I think a wee guest cabin would look nice sitting amongst those pines and would bring in a bit of extra cash to you folks , Great idea .Sounds like you folks have some nice plans for around the outside of the home wont that be nice look forward to seeing what ya do. If we dont see ya before Christmas I wish you and the dogs all the best , Always enjoyed .

    Send some of that snow up to the Mat Su. I’ve gotten the PFD every year except one because I was working overseas for a job. It has only paid out a little over $40k to each person since it started. It doesn’t even make up for the high cost of living here.

    Wow! In the 80's we were paid $1000 per person in the family each year. I lived there from 1981 until 1987. I didn't know where the dividend came from at the time that 10:56 I lived there. It makes sense that the funds have decreased since the oil production has been slowed down drastically through the past few years. Your home & property look so inviting. And I love that yall have kept so many trees. Year round it makes the views beautiful. Your plans sound great! Have a Merry Christmas. I hope yall are Blessed during the season.

    Did you buy the mineral rights under your property when you purchased your land? I think our mineral rights are severed on our homestead. I was under the impression that mineral rights are separate from real estate here in Alaska, but perhaps ours is just different because it was originally homesteaded?

    • @gf3803
      @gf3803 10 днів тому +1

      I think the federal government reserved the mineral rights for any land that was homesteaded and if your land ultimately came from the state of Alaska, the state also reserves the mineral rights. I think it would be rare to get property in Alaska and also have the mineral rights with it.

    How long can you leave the state for before it affects your PFD amount. Was your check affected when you went down to help your brother rebuild after the fire? There was a family that went to the lower 48 for a time but still collected the check. They got in trouble and spent time in jail over it.

      You can be gone for less than 180 days during the calendar year. We were only gone 67days during 2023.
      We returned to Alaska January 31 2024 so only 31days gone for this year. Well within the allotted amount both years.

      On the side that you put the enclosed part of the Arctic entry, might be a good place to put a porch with a roof over that's slanted enough to put your solar panels on. Just an idea. All of the things that you're talking about the rental cabin, the gazebo, and the back porch all sound wonderful. It's nice to have those plans for the future. They keep you going don't they. Great explanation on what the PFD is . I don't think you moved to Alaska to make it rich unless you're panning for gold. Lol. I for one could hear how much you miss Chris. It doesn't get easier as the years go by. But we adapt and while we miss them just as much, we develop coping skills and the sadness isn't quite as bad as it was initially. In spite of it being your first year alone, I'm hoping you both have a wonderful Christmas. Who knows, maybe you get to be the kids this year or maybe just act like them I hope I can join you for the live feed. We shall see. Blessings to you both
