I think what's cool about owning a home is that everything costs approximately $5,000 to $10,000 dollars. Fence? Insane amounts. New cabinets? Good luck buddy. Thinking about a new heating system? Bro, don't even try. - ThreadSky

Our furnace just crapped out on us and it cost 3.5k so I feel this so hard. You can't win. 😭

I like the part about buying furniture that no one sits on for the room that no one goes into.

Unless oil goes hard there don't change the heating system. Better invest in isolation.

Best thing is to do everything yourself.

New fence: 17,000
New A/C unit: 13,000

We haven’t even begun to work on our kitchen or bathroom. Probably won’t consider it for a while because we need a new roof, which is 20,000.

At least you own a home

colleague in his 50s casually forked out 30k for a new heating system and his reason was „it was time“

Had to replace my HVAC system a little over two years ago. $8500. I understand from people getting estimates now that prices have increased by up to 50% since mine was replaced.

I got quoted $25,000 for an install haha

How many square feet in your house? Mine is just under 2000. Someone here with a smaller house than mine got a $12,500 estimate this summer.

I love this era of Ryan skeets because they all start with "what's cool with owning a home" and it's always something that really sucks
