Our nation's military is deemed "The other 1%" partly due to the size of their allocated budgets for disposable income.

Though "income" doesn't seem like the right word for that, since you can't access it unless you either dispose of the asset or pay interest to cashout.

25% for flood when creek rises, fire, non paying tenant, roof repairs, tree falls on duplex and insurance deductible is $2500, tenant puts toy down toilet and clogs main line, dog which you did not allow bites someone, disposal stops working, property manager 10%, property taxes increase because they see you did rehab or you changed the title, noise fine as tenant decides to become a drummer, trash bill, ants or vermin and you have to hire a exterminator, mold claim, planning department inspection fail, city fee as business, legal fees, CPA fees, insurance goes up, Imperial Beach business license and landlord permit/ annual fire safety inspection/gas co inspection $1500+, heaven forbit the Coastal Commission says you dumped foul water, to name a few
