    Tesla cars lose their value even faster than a Maserati, study says

    A friend with a dealer's license says they can't get people to bid on them at the car auctions. They're so expensive to own that the money conscious middle class person should steer clear.

    Who makes coffee with an an Aeropress? Favorite brew methods?

    I've used mine everyday for the last 10 years. It's a great coffee making device. The paper filter insures a clean cup of coffee. Clean up is very easy. I still pull out the French press on occasion when I need to make a larger quantity, or even a drip maker.

    Lets talk the cost cutting measures in vehicles started years ago.

    Should gas stations be mandated to have chargers as well?

    I don't think electric vehicles are the future unless the federal government heavily subsidizes them. The middle class and lower middle class simply can't afford them. Inventories are building at dealers. Used ones often don't receive bids at auctions. Some EV models are depreciating $30k after...

    My 2023 Ford Maverick still hasn’t arrived at dealer.

    I have a Maverick. It's an AWD with 5k tow that gets 28 mpg. I have less than $25 k in it. There's a dealer in Iowa that's selling them under MSRP. It's decently comfortable and quiet and thousands less than the average new car. With 17k miles it's worth more than I paid for it. It's a win win...

    Would you consider retiring to a different country?

    My sister and her husband bought property in Uruguay but unfortunately he passed away before they could do anything with it. It has an ocean view. There's low crime, good health care, and low cost of living according to them. Me? No.

    54 week old LG refrigerator failure

    My sister is a customer service rep for a large midwest appliance retailer. We're building a new home and she said DON'T buy an LG fridge. We didn't. And we left the cabinet above the fridge about 8" from the wall to allow better air flow. I hope in 10 years I can boast about how clever I am.

    Fasting

    I'm getting close to retirement and plan to eat between 11-5. I dropped 17 lbs a few years ago with intermittent fasting but really struggle with this due to my truck driving hours. Some mornings I'm up at 3 an some at 7 with everything in between. Good job on the disciplined approach.
