[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]wait is 1% of 800k 8k? bc no way do we spend 8k a year on repairs.[/quote] This is a good rule of thumb for most people, and is over the life of the house. Sure it might be high for some people, but not a bad rule of thumb. For example, your roof WILL need to be replaced, as will the HVAC system, water heater, etc. at some point. Those big one time charges spread over many years may come to ~1%/yr.[/quote] Please don't use the phrase "rule of thumb." It's offensive and has its roots in domestic abuse (an expression from the time when it was OK for a man to beat his wife with a stick so long as it wasn't thicker than his thumb.)[/quote] Good Lord! Ar you also the poster who won't let her daughter shave her legs until you've lectured her that it is buying into the patriarchal paradigm?[/quote]
