22 Relatable Memes That Depict the Trials and Tribulations of Homeownership

Owning in this real estate economy (or this economy in general) is like winning the lottery. Housing prices are up, interest rates have skyrocketed, and it's still worse to be a renter. Last time this happened, it was 2008… But let's not get ahead of ourselves.

Though homeownership is the end goal for most people, it's not as easy as some folks make it seem. You can no longer call your landlord to fix the toilet when it won't flush, and all of the insects and vermin you find in your food pantry will be yours to deal with—and to pay for. Yikes.

Now, I am a renter through and through, likely because I have commitment issues. Also, I don't have enough money. Hey! City prices are outrageous… However, I also don't see a world where I'd want to be responsible for everything that can go wrong in a home. Many of you folks are likely handy by trade or by free time, and I commend you for that. Folks like me… We don't know how to do that stuff, and happily.

If you're a homeowner down in the dumps currently, here are a few memes to laugh away the pain.
