Financial drain |
Cash-draining venture |
Finance-draining venture |
Do-it-yourselfer's nightmare |
Interminably expensive project |
Venture that drains one's finances |
House that drains finances, slangily |
Fixer-upper that never gets fixed up? |
House that sucks you dry, so to speak |
(Martin Amis, 1984) House that needs endless repairs (Stephen King, 1986) |
