We bought an old home, 1949 because we liked the old deco style, but mostly because it was all we could afford! We’ve replaced damn near everything. The roof, septic, plumbing, electric, most of the appliances. The joys of homeownership kinda gets less joyous as the time goes on.

And sidebar: That’s also something to factor in, how much is that fixer-upper going to cost, as compared to something new. I had a co-worker who drove a piece’a junk that was constantly having to go into the shop. “But I can’t afford a good car!” Oh, but you can afford to break down every three months…?
