[quote=Anonymous]I live in an 80-year-old house, and yes, things break or wear out. I've replaced most of the appliances, all of the windows and the AC condenser since I moved in. I've also replaced most of the outlets, light fixtures and faucets and the inner workings of both toilets. A neighbor's tree fell on the house, necessitating a partial roof replacement, siding, drywall and flooring replacement and one very expensive bay window that had some wood rot discovered when replacing damaged siding. This is home ownership. If I bought a newer house, eventually the newer house would need all that stuff too. And at my price point, buying a newer house would have involved living at least 30 minutes further from DC, and I've BTDT. Commuting sucks. I'd rather have old house/great commute than new house/sucky commute. If you have the money for new and great commute, more power to you.[/quote]
