    Average 401(k) balance for 65 and older is $272,588. median $88,488.

    Well I’m 60 and have a bit more than that in my 401k, but I put 8% into my defined benefit pension for 25 years on the fire department and was able to retire at 52 at full benefits and health insurance for the rest of my life. I actually take home a little more now than when I was working as WV...

    Tesla has the highest death rate of any manufacturer

    Full self driving will never be a thing, unless the vehicle is on rails like a train. There are just too many variables to overcome especially due to construction zones, bad weather and odd variables that a human will perceive that no program ever will.

    Tell me about fog lights

    They are very effective. I had a dolt tailgate me on the WV turnpike in bad weather with his high beams on and a quick on and off of my rear fog lights and he got the message.

    Amsoil Euro 0W-30 10K mi, 2017 CRV 1.5T - FUEL!

    Bought my daughter a new 2016 Civic with the 1.5t engine to go off to college in. School was in northern WV and she sent several pictures of it totally covered in snow drifts for weeks at a time. When she brought it home with less than 4k miles on it the oil level was an inch over full. Talk...

    Insane Veterinarian bills

    My Bernedoodle suffered a severe vomiting attack when she was just two. Scans showed nothing but inflammation of her entire chest cavity (thinking cancer). She was fading fast and we opted for exploratory surgery. They got in there and found that her gallbladder was black and basically rotting...

    Why do we let China have anything to do with our FOOD and DRUGS?

    Real Estate whether it be land, farm land or housing has become a hot commodity for the investment sector and is driving prices and rents up. JD Whatever his name is this week is one of the investors in AcreTrader which is a player in this space. The American economy is literally the best in...

    Tire (or wheel) SOUND mystery

    Most wheel bearings will be noticeable above 40 mph when first noticed and become noticeable at lower and lower speeds as they get worse. Jack it up and do a push pull at the top and bottom of the tire to see if there is any play. I found the front driver side wheel bearing was bad recently by...

    Tire (or wheel) SOUND mystery

    Rotate front to back. If the noise stays up front you are probably looking at a wheel bearing at that mileage.

    is it normal for tranny to shift slow/a bit jerky when cold ambient temps?

    I’d say it’s the ECU/TCU using a different shift approach due to the slightly colder conditions. In my area below freezing for weeks is nothing unusual and all my vehicles shift differently than in the summer. My old F350 diesel was a whole thing to get going in such weather. Even pulling the...

    Cracked Washer Reservoir

    I stupidly volunteered to replace the wiper fluid reservoir on my wife’s friend’s Nissan Murano. Literally had to remove the front passenger tire and wheel well liner, bumper and grill. It was a nightmare. It seems they designed it to fill any nook and cranny the was left available in the...

    2017 Camry-Sticky Front Brake after replacement, stumped

    It’s either rust on the caliper piston or the inside of the brake caliper hose has pulled loose and is bunching up preventing the release of pressure.

    Rear Differential Fill Level ?

    I'm still hung up on the small picture caption in the upper right. Where is the fill hole in that view? It’s on the other side from where the guy is sticking his finger in. I’ve never seen one there. If it’s been emptied you should fill it where he is sticking his finger in till it runs back...

    What pet is better in your opinion: dog or cat?

    I much prefer dogs. Being retired they keep me busy lol. Additionally they are better than any security system. This one is a 90lbs bundle of muscle and a sweetheart but you wouldn’t want to meet her while breaking in the house.

    AC blows HOT after tightening steering rack bolts

    I would check to make sure the blend doors are working correctly. To blow HOT one day and cold the next would indicate to me a blend door problem in the dash.
