Condo associations plan years ahead with a reserve study. Do the same for your home: see what wears out, when, what it costs, and the one monthly number that covers it.
71-second explainer · sound on · captions on screen
List the parts of your home that wear out and cost $500 or more to replace.
Note each one's age. Snap a photo of its data plate for your house manual.
Start from published typical lifespans and costs, then change any number to your own quote.
Get one monthly amount, a 30-year schedule, and how funded you are today.
Untick what you don't have. Every number is editable. Yellow tags need your own quote (no reliable national figure).

The Home Reserve Plan is a homeowner planning tool. It is not a reserve study by a credentialed Reserve Specialist (RS) or Professional Reserve Analyst (PRA), not a home inspection, and not financial advice. Lifespans and costs are typical national figures; get local quotes before you budget. Method adapted from the Community Associations Institute National Reserve Study Standards: component inventory, condition, life and cost, fund status and funding plan.
