I'm pretty lazy yet I almost find time to do some sort of exercise most days. I don't necessarily equate not doing anything physical to being lazy. Finding time to exercise is what I call "making a priority". I put off lots of things...I call that being lazy and being a procrastinator. I'm...

You can definitely extend your life by being more mentally AND physically active. Having said that, some people come up short on the genetic and "luck" factors which affects how long they live and/or how old they look. If you're unlucky enough to be diagnosed with cancer, dementia...

Do NOT give them money unless you consider it a gift and you won't be disappointed if it only helps them temporarily and they end up right back where they started just a short time later. This doesn't sound like a short term fix. Unless you have control over their spending (which you probably...

I can see not watching every little thing in the news, but ignoring it completely and sticking your head in the sand is NOT a good thing. Now is the time in our nation's history to be INFORMED about the truth.

I had it for about a year and finally got rid of it. I liked it because the speeds were good but the jitter was very high and so the connection didn't work very well for my phone over internet (I use Ooma). The phone calls would break up a lot and became very annoying and almost unusable at...

I don't like alcoholic drinks very much. I get hungover easily so I'm down to less than 5-10 drinks/beers per year. It's just not a high priority for me and I don't even think about much it anymore. Once a person gets used to not drinking, they usually don't miss it much at all. If I really...

We get it...you hate EV's. Nuff said. This forum was meant to discuss different EV models, not to continuously try to convince people who are interested in an EV, that they're not good. Why do you care so much anyway? Just buy your ICE vehicle and leave this forum to the people that actually...

Don't want one, don't get one. They're not for everyone. I don't blame anyone for not wanting one. I love mine. I didn't pay much more (and in some cases less) than a similar sized ICE vehicle (base model Chevy Bolt EUV - $28.690). I love NEVER having to go to a dealer to get my oil...

I have a very small leak in the front of my house that I only noticed because my water meter was going up about 1/100th of a gallon every 2-5 minutes. So I had a plumber come to my house. We know the location of where the leak is but not the exact pipe, etc. We decided to wait until later to...

I'm about 10-15 lbs heavier now compared to HS, now 5'10", 155 lbs. I was very lean back in high school (135-140 lbs) and I wouldn't want to be that lean/slim today. I was on the wrestling team and at one point during my senior year I dropped down to 119 lbs to "make weight". Do I wish I...

* I use a Tivo over the air DVR/4 tuner. I still use it a lot even with all of the streaming options. * I also have an Amazon Recast 4 tuner DVR (records over the air) which I don't use as much as the Tivo but still use it because I can access the recordings and live TV through my Amazon Fire...

I live in TX and I have 3 tax districts....1) School 2) County and 3) City. The school taxes make up at least 2/3 of the total when you add them all together. The school district freezes the valuation when you have an over 65 exemption when you turn 65. I turned 65 two years ago and since...

I'd bring the laptop since I can't stand doing more than a few quick lookups on my phone. The small screen drives me crazy.

Chevy installed my level 2 charger in my garage for "free" (ie. included with the new car purchase). I've had my Chevy Bolt EUV for about 18 months. Even though I charge it on level 2, there was not one time I couldn't have gotten by with just level 1 charging. I just don't drive that much.

Hilarious. OMG. So if people who are going to FIRE need $20 million, I suppose people that only have 1 or 2 $million are doomed. Add me to that list! LOL! Heck, 97-98% of Americans are probably doomed as well. Why should I start listening to her now? I never did before! LOL!

Yes...last December, a friend of mine bought a 2020 Bolt EV LT with replaced battery and only 12k miles that originally retailed for about $39k for about $15k....and he got the $4k tax credit on top of that. Heck of a deal!

Much larger dual monitors (32" and 27") and much better keyboard and mouse with my desktop computer. I have laptops as well, but my desktop is my "main" computer for getting things done. For me, it's difficult to do better and being more productive than having side by side dual monitors when...

As stated by REWahoo in a previous post, here's information about form 8911 on the IRS website. And here's a statement within that saying that we can use form 3800 under certain conditions. It sounds like since I bought an EV charger for my home I can use form 3800. And it sounds like I don't...

Thanks, didn't know about that. :)

Yes, wouldn't it be nice if people just didn't assume that everyone here knows all acronyms. :)

Don't keep track of it since my net worth is continuously increasing.

Before I bought my Chevy Bolt EUV, I was extremely interested in buying the Maverick hybrid but the wait to get one was very very long since it was in such high demand. It seems to me that Ford could have ramped up production on them and they would have sold in very large numbers. Over 40mpg...

I took gabapentin for peripheral neuropathy caused by meds I took for Multiple Myeloma. I stopped taking it after about 30 days because it caused me to get blurry vision. As for helping with the peripheral neuropathy, I don't think it helped anyway.

Question about an annuity and RMD's. I'm 67 and I'll have to start taking RMD's in about 5 years. If I buy a 10 year annuity in the next few months, in general, are there government laws/provisions with annuities to allow RMD's without taking a penalty? Or is that dependent on the actual...

I disagree that it should be the 2nd or 3rd vehicle...for some people that might work better, but not everyone needs more than one vehicle. I use mine as my only vehicle. Works for me and others as well.
