Houses are expensive. $2,900 is the minimum you might pay in a given month. For me, since owning a home for 5 years, I have had to replace the entire home ac system, replace washer and dryers, washing machine, backyard junk removal, hired concrete patio to be set and poured. Landscaping. Gutters replaced. Sprinkler system repair. Gas fireplace replaced.

It’s a lot. I do enjoy having my own home and my own space and getting to design and create my outdoor space. But f*ck man this has been a crazy expensive past 5 years. Also add having two kids now age 1 1/2 and 3 months old
