The touchless don’t do a very good job and use pretty harsh chemicals to do the cleaning which can wreak havoc on the plastics and trim.
I have a monthly membership to a touch, conveyor wash for $19.99. I go through it at least weekly, sometimes more often.
It just makes the fries worse. I want them to be better because of the freshness, but they just aren’t good. I do like a burger and it seems like a great company.
$5k for a tear off on that size roof is a ripoff. Do it right, get some more quotes and pull the old shingles off first. Also, please don’t put plain 3-tab shingles on. Spend a little more for an architectural shingle.
Max the 401k at $23,500
Max the HSA at $4,300
Max the Roth IRA at $7,000 (if your income is within the limits)
Pay off all your debt quickly so you can save more outside of the first 3. If the stars align, maybe you get to $1M by 50.
Keep in mind $50k doesn’t go very far if you are buying health insurance in the marketplace until you qualify for Medicare.
A diversified portfolio should historically allow you to pull 3% per year safely for your lifetime. Work backwards from that, so $50k needs $1.67M. Maybe you can draw 5%...
Also, you don’t need to pay for COBRA right away. You can pay for it retroactively 60 days or more after loss of employment. I’d take the severance and start looking for a job and hope to double up on pay.
I included cars my wife drove/drives that we got since we’ve been married so I could remove some if that’s the case. I need to put a spreadsheet together to see what these cost once I account for trade ins, sales and a total loss paid by insurance.
I appealed mine in 2019 myself. The appraised value of my lot went from $90k to $440k. They revised their valuation after I used THEIR comps that were all in a gated neighborhood with the lots on the golf course of a private country club.
It was still a frustrating process even though I got my...
Tesla has an aging lineup and only makes EVs, maybe the Model 3 and Y will change the trend. Oddly, sales in Europe were down among other brands too but nobody clicks when Kia, VW or Ford are mentioned.

I don’t think that’s correct. You shouldn’t pay SS tax on more than the max plus your employer share on your self employed half.
I worded that poorly but hopefully it makes sense.
A lot of Chiefs 3-Peat shirts will be worn by people in 3rd world countries and that makes me happy. I was pulling for the Eagles and bet them to win. I figured Mahomes would make it close as he always seems to but this was just a completely lopsided game.
