Fans win in baseball's new labor deal. Free agency brought millions to players. Even adjusted for inflation, Flood's $90,000 salary in 1969 would be less than $479,183 in today's dollars. That's about a fifth of the league average for players today and a small fraction of what players of his caliber get paid currently.
The 1 Percent Rule. One popular rule of thumb says that one percent of the purchase price of your home should be set aside each year for ongoing maintenance. For example, if your home cost $300,000, you should budget $3,000 per year for maintenance. That doesnât mean youâll literally spend $3,000 every year.
And eventually you will need to re-paint and do other repairs. You can estimate the replacement cost of your entire home by multiplying the finished square feet by average new home construction costs ($100-150/sq ft) and then depreciate this number over 25 years or so.ust for fun, I took all the items, calculated an individual annual cost and summed that up to get an idea of my average annual maintenance costs. It came out to $3,186 per year. Throw in a few bucks to cover smaller maintenance costs not listed and my annual house maintenance costs are $3,500 per year.
