I will pay roughly $50,000 in insurance in 20 years. It is a good thing that homes keep their value, or that would be a truly ugly number.
I have only ever had 1 claim, a few years ago when the town was backflushing the sewer. While my backwater valve stopped everyone else's burritos from coming into the basement, when my daughter drained the bathtub a bunch of ours were on the basement carpet.  
That cost them just under $40,000.00. I was truly glad to have paid that year. |
Forgot to mention taxes. In 20 years i will have paid nearly $100,000 in property tax on my home. In a town of 180 people. With no store, gas station police or hospital...
