electric cars for big kids image
dickery
Few years ago we had horse powered cars, then came the steam powered engines, and now we have fuel powered engines.
There are some cars in the market that work with electricity today, or solar energy, but none of them have yet addressed the needs of the market, what are your thoughts? Are we going to see or more probably our kids are going to see a new set of vehicles propelled with some sort of energy that replaces petroleum based fuel?
Answer
I think plug-in hybrids like the Chevy Volt will be a big deal.
For the short trips, it's all-electric. No gas needed.
For longer trips, you have a small gas engine to generate electricity for the electric engine. And that engine doesn't have to be gas either. E85, biodiesel, butanol, etc.
The possibilities are endless.

How does an average household spend their paychecks - i.e., how much money do they spend on food, rent, etc.?
curious st
How much does an average household spend on food, rent, entertainment, utilities and other big expenses. How does this vary across states and urban/rural areas.
Where can I get more information on this topic.
Answer
I'll give you the averages for Texas and Florida for a family of Four (two adults, two kids)
Texas:
Rent: (2 bedroom apt) $800/month
Groceries: $750/month
Electric: $150 - $350/month (depending on time of year)
Entertainment: $100-$300/month
Daycare: $800/month
Florida:
Rent (2 bedroom apt) $1300/month
Groceries$750/month
Electric: $200-$400/month
Entertainment $150-$350/month
Daycare $1000/month
And don't forget your other expenses like Car note, Car insurance, wether you have to pay a Gas or Water Bill etc etc.
*Moved from Texas to Florida last year. The area REALLY makes a difference. The Texas rates I listed above were from Houston, but living in Central Texas in a small town, it was considerably less (so was the cost of living). We are now in the Ft Lauderdale Area, and everything is more expensive here.
