I laughed at your comment about having a large garden. During the many years I made do with a postage-stamp sized garden, I told everyone I wanted at least 2 acres (almost impossible to find in SoCal and unattainable unless you win the lottery). Well, I finally got a 1/2 acre property 3 years ago and maintenance, not to speak of renovations, consume a massive amount of time, energy and, yes, money.
