Our house was built in 1987. So it's getting tired. AND falling in at the foundation, but that's a local problem. Right here in a few square blocks, it's not just us. We had to pay those foundation folks a small fortune to save the back room from breaking off from the house some years ago, jack it back up. It's the subsoil, there's cracks in the driveway you can trip over, they weren't here when we moved in. We may be on top of a sinkhole.
We've done a new roof, a new HVAC system, new carpet downstairs, all to get ready for my retirement which we knew was coming. And now there's another thing. Convert one of these bath tubs into a walk-in shower, that's important. More cash outflow. We're trying to make the house outlive us.
I'm not real sure if owning is actually cheaper than renting. It's a rhetorical issue, but I'm wondering about the math these days.
