@RoaringKitty@Smartnetworth1 Adding a second income if the household is already above $100k ends up getting nullified by higher tax rates and extra spending.
@THEDAYTONDUDE Trump told a large part of his coalition that we weren't in the coalition anymore, he didn't want or need our votes, then spent $30m to primary our favorite congressman across the river. We were inclined to acquiesce to his request.
Don't blame the economy.
It hits the sweet spot of "It's worth repairing" vs "It's expensive to repair".
BMW loses it's value because everything needs done at the dealer (stealer). You won't want that in a few years. You also won't want to fix a shitbox if you don't like it a few years down the road.
Repairs can be more expensive, however it's worth doing it. Most things you can do yourself if you are inclined, however your less-expensive independent mechanic will also appreciate it. Aftermarket parts are widely available.
For example, I needed a new PCV assembly on mine. The part alone at the dealer was $250, so looking at a $~500+ repair bill if I took it to the dealer. I found an aftermarket part for $18 and a youtube video showed how to change it. 8 bolts. The whole replacement took 15 minutes. $482 saved.
On second thought, don't get the XC90. Increased demand will just drive up prices for my second one. ๐
@BrentGD I really just hate the switching. Permanent DST was tried before and failed each time. I pick permanent Standard because it's the only permanent one that has a decent shot of sticking.
