[quote=Anonymous]Property taxes, cable tv/internet, heating/cooling, security alarm system, landscaping help and grass cutting (and snow removal where we vacation), maintaining systems, painting, association fees, feeding and entertaining houseguests. And as others have mentioned, the cost of setting up a new household in the first year or two: beds and other furniture, vacuum cleaner, towels, sheets, dishes, you get the idea. (I'll swear I made 30 trips to the hardware store the first summer for brooms, rakes, hoses, buckets, etc.) We love our second home, but it a serious expense.[/quote]
