Ah. If you install a home EV charging station, the tax credit is 30% of the cost of hardware and installation, up to $1,000. Tesla’s wall charger costs about $500. The the electrical work to get a 240v circuit where you want it can run $500 to $1000. So you may get 30% or $500 back. Google ‘home...

Yep. $7,500 for new EV’s and $4,000 for used vehicles under $25k. The catch is for 2024, very few vehicles qualify so far. See this site for all the rules. https://fueleconomy.gov/feg/tax2023.shtml#requirements

I updated mine to retired 6 years ago. I still get weekly emails for “retired” jobs. Lol

DW 64, me 61. My 20-yr $500k term policy expires next month. It served its purpose. Our investments should carry us perpetually as long as we don’t get crazy buying new houses, cars, extravagant life style. Males in our family can make 80’s but 90’s would be a stretch. Our only daughter will...

Wait! Sorry had to switch over to Prime Video to catch the Jets @ Browns (It’s over Browns 34-17)! So, quick glance and we had 143 orders in 2023. So $1.00 per order shipping to get it the next day in most cases is pretty awesome. So, the added $3/month takes our $.97 per package to $1.22 per...

I looked at Fidelity, my credit Union, Amazon, etc. Gave up. Paid the $89 for online TurboTx Premiere because I wanted to see real 2023 1040 projected tax forms in December. No regrets.

I’ll send my address info for the paperwork! Lol

I was lucky. Got my name attached (via dealer) to a 2020 RAV4 Hybrid 2 years ago when it was on a ship suck in the Gulf of Mexico when all the ports were closed. Had to wait 8 weeks back then. I love the car, the 38 MPG, (2) electric motors, quiet as heck. Like driving a large golf cart.

You dudes are awesome with these suggestions!

Heading to Tucson ina week for 2 weeks. Amy recommendations for Tucson Must-see places?

So, does that work the same way if she waits until 70? She would get half ($4092 / 2 or $2046 per mont), correct?

Can you post the budget first so those that know they can’t afford it save some time just being jealous without reading for days lol!
