I have a love/hate relationship with the responsibilities that come with home ownership. I hate the feeling of having an ever-growing todo list and knowing that I am going to have to spend my free time on the weekends doing chores, most of which have significant costs that go with them.

But on the flip side there is a huge feeling of satisfaction and pride when you accomplish certain tasks or home improvement projects. You've bettered the property you own and often have learned new skills. It also makes the beer taste even better when you're finally ready to relax.
