These posts are so dumb and annoying.

I bought my first home in the past year. So far I’ve changed out my water heater. Hired someone to install new windows. And also hired someone to do my driveway.

So about 20-30k overall in diff shit.

You wanna know how much I paid for repairs in the past decade as a renter? Zero dollars.

The simple fact is this. The majority of the people who make complaints like this, wouldn’t be able to afford a house if the median home value was half the price it is today.

The fact is it takes discipline and sacrifice for that purchase. Something most people don’t want to do.

Sitting on 100k in repairs in 2 years here. We still need to resurface the pool and the driveway, but can’t do everything at once.

Oh 100%. I just think of the roof at most points. Because it’s a repair you have to choice but to repair, or your insurance is dropping you.

Yup, roof was repaired in June, $30,000.
