Expenses for the first month of home ownership

Today marks the one-month anniversary of home ownership! Although not paying mortgage for the first month is nice, the initial expenses are still a bitter pill to swallow. Just have to remind myself that there's an "entry cost" associated with any long-term investment.









First month expenses:

Professional movers (2-day move, labor plus tip): $1414
Locksmith (change deadbolts): $480
Radon mitigation system installation: $845
Plumbing - replace defective tankless water heater under warranty (labor only): $360
Electrician - install non-GFCI outlet in basement for freezer, ground CSST piping: $110

Total: $3209
