Nope we do our own pest (Sunday all natural 4 applications $75) we also mow our own because let’s face it’s a better job than any company (electric mower 4 years old paid for itself 5 times over)
Not all houses have a bond, I didn’t say plan on just SS, but some live on SS and invest their other income. 2007 was the first time we came to TV. Very well versed in all things to run a household including, 4 types of homes in TV, and the exact budget for each
If one needs to be concerned about amenities rising, I don’t think that is the only problem, one should be concerned about. Amenity is not the only cost that has risen since 2007 in TV.
