  • Yo try em all out. Look at the cheapest on the market. It’s really not worth getting a luxury car for 50 or 60k.

    Used can have really good deals. 30 or so for new crossovers or a lot less than that for older cars.

    Look at three numbers for each car: time for 10-80%, kwh/mi, and range - important in that order.

    If you travel a lot, look at the driver assist settings. Some, like the VW, are intelligently dumb - It’s all local, no ‘maps’ needed for advanced cruise or lane keep assist. Others, like GM/Ford are subscription based to be able to use it.













  • Hospital isn’t where it ends. I’m paying like 30 cents to 50 cents per diaper. Newborns can go thru like 8 of them a day, down to 3-4 once they are a few years old. Kids still wear them at night until sleep without peeing. Average it out to 2 a day * 0.40 * 365 * 5 yrs Or, 10 * 0.40 * 365 So around $1400 in diapers alone. Not including all the creams / wipes you need with that. Food. Medicine. Clothes. Toys. Sick days. Car seats. Strollers. Childcare for a thousand or two per month.

    Give 50k and maybe you’d break even.
