I would suspect that if you own a home, you are more likely to be married. If you are married AND a homeowner, you really have less time for other things like hanging out with girlfriends because you want to spend time with your husband. You also probably aren't as obsessive about dieting and working out because you aren't as worried about attracting a man and hey, maybe your husband likes a little meat on you. The aggravation comes from the fact that when your husband wakes you up at 2:00 a.m. to tell you that the basement has flooded for the second time in a year (two 100-year events in 13 months! How lucky are you!) and your brand-new carpet, installed last July after the first flood ruined the other one, might be ruined, it is up to you and not the landlord to save it.

Could that have anything to do with it?
