danielhart+FollowHoly crap, no one told me this!Okay, so no one warned me about the sheer madness of random home expenses until I jumped headfirst into homeownership. I knew there's a bunch of costs in the mix, but dude, my washing machine broke within the first month. Like how? Then there's freakin' HOA fees that just exist to stress you out. Don't even get me started on the cost of gutter cleaning—those tiny leaves apparently have personal vendettas against my wallet. Also, my lawn decided it wouldn't mow itself. Surprise! So I forked out for a mower, and I swear it's as expensive as my monthly groceries. But honestly, even though my bank account's hurting, there's something kinda satisfying about facedown wrestling with random unexpected house drama. Makes for some good stories at least! #HomeownerStruggles #StickerShock #FirstTimeHomebuyerTips728Share
