Mark, I recently moved from a home to a condo and it is a lot more inexpensive. My taxes are halved, my water is a third, the HOA covers hazard, fire and earthquake insurance, plus all exterior repairs, such as roof, siding, maintenance of the beautiful grounds, including a pool, jacuzzi and fitness center, it also covers cable and internet. Financially, I’m way ahead. 👍

@@SeaTurtle515 I don't know where you live, but I've never been able to get earthquake insurance through an HOA. Nor have they ever covered cable and internet... just unheard of unless you're paying a ton more in fees. I went from my second condo to finally getting a house and I'm paying way less overall. It does help to shop around for your insurance and make sure you bundle home and auto insurance with the same company because of discounts!

Leaving her no money left to buy her own furniture. Also wisecracker remark about the bookends on the coffee table was just rude! Perhaps she was trying to turn them into some sort of abstract decor.
