Or buy a condo. Be a homeowner with none of these problems. My electricity bill is about $18 in the winter (I don't need to use or pay for heat). Give up a yard (and ice dams and shoveling and cold feet and so much more) for an $18 a month electricity bill.

And while in that condo, you can enjoy having your kids play boot hockey in your driveway, working on your car/toys in your garage/driveway, playing ball in your backyard with your dog & kids, sitting on your deck at night in front of a fire & some cocktails watching deer & other wildlife roam through your yard....oh wait you can't do any of those in a condo.
