    Also, you can now buy a Lucid for $70k, which it's a lot of car for the $$ https://www.yahoo.com/tech/lucid-motors-drops-price-cheapest-140001997.html

    When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?

    If they price this under $50k, this should sell like crazy.

    I don't know about the lightning but our tesla will sit in the garage for a week and lose less than 2%. If you have the security cameras on, it tends to suck more energy

    When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?

    Did you get a chance to test the performance? It has to be weird to drive a pickup that's as fast as a 700 horsepower TRX but at the same time be quiet. I agree, if you do a ton of really long drives(especially rural), it doesn't currently make sense. Even more so with the non tesla charging...

    Tax Software

    I did it in both TurboTax and Freetax and it matched up exactly the same until I put in some investment stuff and then the difference was only $25. I noticed a couple of things this year. If you can't upload your document, the QR scanner thing works pretty slick with TT. So many of my...

    Tax Software

    My employer sent out a message "New Withholding tax calculation for 2024 W-4. Update yours now". By updating this, is it going to tax more or less out of my check for taxes? If I hadn't bought a Tesla last year, I would have had to pay like $3k. I don't want them taking out less, I'd rather get...

    Random Thoughts 18: The Year of Fire

    Everyone's experience is different but we had something similar happen and her mother refused to press charges. If her mother would have stopped it early, the girl may have straightened up. Instead, the mother is now broke, the daughter served prison time with a felony, and everyone's lives are...

    Random Thoughts 18: The Year of Fire

    My wife is going/won a trip to a sales conference near Monarch Beach, CA in May. We're thinking about extending it for a couple of days. We can fly out of anywhere in SoCal. We've only been to the Palm Springs and San Diego areas. I'd rather not get a car but that's probably wishful thing. Any...

    Tax Software

    In 2022, TurboTax selected file separate but on a combined return for Iowa. My wife and I made around $15k more in federal income in 2023. The taxes we are going to pay to Iowa for 2023, went up by $150. We are now forced into filing jointly. I'm not a mathematician, but I believe that's a...

    Hy-Vee's weirdest business decision yet?

    How big of a problem with theft do they have with the downtown des moines hyvee? I heard they are going to start closing a 6pm.

    Hy-Vee's weirdest business decision yet?

    Seriously, they can't make anything stick. I get why they want it to work, the non-food stuff has a LOT higher gross but some of this is just common sense. Grimes has only been open for a few years and they've already shut down the nail salon, Joe Fresh, DSW, and they were selling fitness...

    Tax Software

    1. It sounds like maybe this changed. I'm not close on itemizing federally. 2023 Iowa will no longer have its own standard or itemized deductions, incorporating the federal standard or itemized deduction instead. All taxpayers must now use the same filing status on their Iowa return as their...

    Tax Software

    Based on CF users, I thought I'd try out FreeTaxUSA. I'm still waiting on a few investment docs but so far TurboTax and FreeTaxUSA give me the exact same amount for both federal and state. I noted two weird things on FreeTax 1. It didn't ask my anything about what I paid in car registration...

    Financial Tracking options

    Zero issues besides having to pay for it. I connect to 3 banks, 2 401k,s, 2 investment banks, and 3 credit cards and I've never had an issue updating. Even my premier banking account works, which never worked with mint.
