I never said owning a home makes you rich but most people don’t go into owning a home without building in maintenance costs. If you can’t afford $40 a month, what happens when an appliance breaks, or there is an HVAC or plumbing issue?

You bought a house but can’t afford $40 a month? That’s so reasonable.

“You get the government you deserve” 🙄

Because it wasn’t funny. I like XKCD but they can’t all be winners.
