The hidden cost of owning a home

I was prepared for the mortgage, the higher energy bills, the garbage and sewer bills. I even knew what I was getting into with yard maintenance costs and other home improvement projects.


I was not prepared for the onslaught of little kids with "causes." Jogathons, candy sales, magazines, christmas stuff, etc. I swear ther must be 8000 kids in the neighborhood. And how do you say no to a little 5 year old girl who wants you to sponsor her per lap around the track? You can't. That's why Rachel purchased mint meltaways from a kid last week. That's why I gave this girl $3 to run around a track. I'm going to have to declare bankruptcy by supporting the neighborhood children. It's amazing.
