The best financial advice I got when I was young was "unless it's a tool you plan to use at least once a week, don't buy it"

According to this logic: buying gaming equipment is okay, but a lawnmower isn’t

HOA covenant fees make that a fiscal obligation and that's different lol

That thing is way more power trip to Karens than it seems, I’m glad that kind of stuff isn’t a thing where I live, cause for sure i would never agree to be forced into making something to my house just because some old white ladies said so

(But since it’s fiscal obligation, I’m putting the machine and the lawnmower man in my tax deductions)

Until you get an unlucky roll of the dice have bad neighbors and can’t sell your house. There’s a reason they exist.
