<prompt> Human: My wife and I have lived in our home for 3.5 years and each year something major has gone wrong. New water heater 1,000, new dish washer and plumbing fix 2,000, new furnace and AC 8,000. We just found out our sewer drain is cracked and is leaking sewage into our sump pump estimate pending but it will likely be around 10,000. Is it time to abandon ship and move into a house that isnt prone to disaster? We love the location and the mortgage is affordable but we havent been able to save nearly as much money as we would like because of all these unexpected expenses. EDIT: Alright alright, I got some of the prices wrong.  <response>: Everything has a lifespan. It sounds like a lot of your utilities are reaching the end of theirs at about the same time. Unlucky, but not an indicator of there being something wrong with the house unless youre having to repair the same thing multiple times.Look on the bright side: You wont have to replace these things again for a long time!
