Yeah, some of us are just too stupid to keep up with that stuff......I know every dime I've spent on maintenance and upgrades. It's not rocket science. Not to mention many upgrades get more than their cost back at resell. IIRC, a kitchen remodel can bring around 20% more in what it cost.
Bottom line - if you think a house is a poor way to spend your money, don't buy one.
Colin - talk to me about gold. Several people have mentioned it to me lately - enough people to get my interest up.
