> I can’t think of a year where I didn’t have $5K of crap that needed fixing/replacement/improvements

For a contrary anecdote, I've been living in my current house for well over 20 years and not once have I spent 5K in a year in maintenance. Rarely have I spent even over 1K.

I can't think how I could even spend that kind of money in maintenance every year. What's there to fix that costs you so much?
