2019 - Purchased house.
2020 - Cost $11,500 to repaint the house (house is half wood, so needs to be periodically repainted).
2020 - Wind damage, cost $7,300 to repair fence, side of house, and roof. Roof started to leak after this. Periodically patched it, and then...
2021 - Cost $32,200 to replace roof and skylights.
2022 - Gutters started to overflow and leak. Cost $7,000 to replace gutters.
2023 - AC broke. AC is 22 years old, so we're just replacing it. Cost $16,000.

So just in the past 4 years, we spent $74k just in big-ticket maintenance. Renters have it lucky.
