Home ownership has always been a goal of mine. I decided at age 15 that I would be a home owner by age 22. With hard work and with my dad agreeing to put his name on the loan with me, I met that goal. For the most part, home ownership has been everything I anticipated. I love knowing that I can paint, replace and repair as I choose. I love sitting on my porch in the evening, knowing that it's my porch.
However, I am quickly learning the downside to home ownership. In the last two weeks I have had the "bearings" replaced in the air handler for the air conditioning, the septic tank pumped, the electrician out to hunt down a mysterious power outage in my garage and then yesterday I broke my toilet. Yes, my toilet (I will save that story for another entry). Needless to say, home ownership ain't always what it is cracked up to be.
I am beginning to learn the lesson "grass is always greener on the other side." Of course as soon as you move to the other side, you fall in the money pit.
Have a Blessed Lord's Day!

My money pit are Fords. My current Expedition is the fifth Ford I've own and for the fifth time in as many Fords, I just dropped some change to repair it's a/c.
I love my 99 Honda Accord.
All I can say is I am glad I am a Chevy man, I don't think I could take another money pit.
