I realize these items are done on a per need basis and they can vary greatly.

I am trying to decide whether to work part time as to pay for these items or take it out of resources.

Still a wannabee.
1. New home - I would say close to zip. Older home - go for $200-300 annually. Until the wife wants to repaint and recarpet then think in the $3000-5000 range.

2. How old is the car? If you are talking just maintenance it is no more than what you pay now.

3. Cart Insurance. Mine is on my home owners insurance. I went down to check and see what it would cost for a separate police and it was about $125 a year.

4. Cart repairs - With my electric Club cart it was $48 every six months. With my electric EZGO it is $80 once a year.
