I live in an apartment which is part of a large co-op complex, so my share of any large home improvement project (and we have had some over the years) is little or nothing (if they use their reserve fund).
The only big personal expense I have had over the years has been the new car I bought 12 years ago. I do expect my aging car, which has been running fine, to last me several more years. If I do need to replace it, I have a slush fund I would tap into to pay for it, more like a third-tier emergency fund which has been around since before I ERed 11 years ago. Therefore, I couldn't answer the poll with any of is choices. "I just buy the stuff as needed" would be the best option, as others have agreed with.
