If you’re under 40 years old, you’re a Millennial by most standards.  If you’re a Millennial, there’s about a 50% chance you own a home, according to the most recent census data. Also if you’re a Millennial, there’s about a 60% chance that you regret buying that home, according to a large poll by Bankrate.com. One of the main reasons you regret buying that home? Not understanding the ongoing maintenance responsibilities and associated costs. Almost nobody I’ve met in my age bracket or below could properly tell you how to maintain a home. The problem with maintaining a home, like filing taxes, is that it’s inexplicably not taught in our public education system. Homes don’t typically come with user manuals. And if you maintain your home based on the same advice your dad’s dad shit out back in 1946, it’s probably hit-or-miss. It’s an issue. Today we’ll learn what needs maintenance in your home, how to check it, when to check it, and why. Welcome to - “How To Maintain a Home”   See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
