What is your least favorite household chore, and to what lengths will you go to avoid doing it? (ani.social)

Mine is washing dishes.

If left to my own devices, I will let dishes collect for a week in my kitchen sink.

Fortunately, I have a dishwasher. And a wife, but she doesn't enjoy doing dishes either, but at least it's a shared misery.

I was actually really looking into a condo/townhouse for that very reason, but when I was home searching, the high monthly HOA dues and the fact that condo prices were practically the same as a house, plus the higher interest rate vs a SFH steered me away. We’ll see, maybe in time I’ll get tired of it and do the same as you.

Yeah, I wasn't happy that the condo is at 3.25%. The HOA fee covers insurance, water, internet, garbsge, heat, cooling, etc. My individual insurance is like $200/year. By the time I added all the things I was paying in addition to PITI, it was a, wash at worst.

I purposely wasn't looking at buildings with elaborate amenities because they tend to have higher HOA.
