I swear, every time I think I've got my finances sorted out, something else pops up. This time it's the roof. I mean, I knew owning a house meant upkeep and all that, but nobody warned me how expensive just keeping the roof from leaking could be. Had a guy come out last week to check on a small leak—turns out there's more damage than I thought, and now I'm looking at a pretty hefty bill. Feels like every year there's some new surprise expense related to the roof—shingles, gutters, flashing...you name it.
Honestly, I'm starting to wonder if it's just me or if roofs are secretly money pits for everyone. Like, is this normal? Or am I just unlucky with my house? Curious if other homeowners here have similar frustrations or if you've found ways to keep these costs down somehow.
