There are maintenance requirements to home ownership, absolutely. And some are not cheap.
But there is absolutely a segment on HN who will act like home ownership is nothing more than pulling out a card for the next four digit expense every month or more.
“What are you going to do when (not if) you hot water dies? And then you need a roof? Oops your house needs painting and new appliances and now the AC is gone too, what about pest control, and hopefully your sewer line doesn’t collapse? Can’t handle all that happening to you? Can you realllly afford a house then?”
