How Much Does It Cost Annually to live in Rincon, Puerto Rico?

kids electric cars cheap image

jtmasters

We have fallen in love with Rincon. Could some adults give me an idea of the total annual cost of living for 2 adults who want to live NEAR but not necessarily On the beach, have one car, and a relaxed lifestyle that would include air-conditioning if over 85 degrees? Please, no commercial posters respond to this posting.

Answer
Well...price will vary on te beach or near the beach. If your planning to stay all year long, look outside the places posted on the internet for guesthouses, vacation rentals.. It also depends what season your coming down since a fixed price per month will change. Example, there are a couple places going for $400-500 month away from beach, not incl cable water elect.. If you want to be closer to the beach expect to pay 2-3x more per month, if long term and renting from homeowner, not a rental property for vacation. *BUT the best search is to come down here, and drive around since most of these places do not advertise on the net.

Electric is very..very expensive, almost double, maybe even triple is some cases compared to some of the states in USA. Cars, another one, very expensive, since we have to import them down here, there is a tax on them that makes them expensive, and almost stays with the car. New or used your choice, but expensive. There is no such thing as a train station car down here that is $500, they almost all start in $1k+ mark, and they will all tell you low miles, down here that means, anywhere from 80-150 thousand miles.. I dont get it also, I seen a car that is a 2001, and has 132k miles and they still want $5ooo dollors for it.. and was beat up..It looked like heck.. kid ya not. The only thing that is good is that a used car the insurance in just under $200 year.. but that only covers up to $3k of damages, but there are places for extra coverage.

AC, I lived here for 9 years, and only used the AC a couple times, but I do live with fans, and a couple cold showers a day..

Now, your relaxed life style, either eating out, or stay at home and cook.. Food at the Econo or Selectos, Pueblo, prices are high, also.. its another import thing, expensive, but you have to do your shopping wisely, places offer different things at diff prices, like in the states. Local pinchos, bars, are always the cheapest with very tasty food.Restaurants, are expensive, especially in touristy places, and well from my experience, food is not worth the price.

AND to close this article, didnt know if your going to be buying a house, condo etc.. but, everything is negotiable,didntt be fooled and walk away, if the deal is too good, on buying a house make sure there is a title, and a clean one at that.

How much do I need to make to own a Tesla Model S?

Austin

I've been trying to determine how much I need to make to own a Tesla Model S and have money for other things.

I'm a senior in college, i'm a single man, and will probably be for a while. No gf, no kids, no trouble.

I understand I can't do it now, but when I find a job, what's a reasonable salary to own one?

They cost anywhere from $580-$800/month.

Thanks in advance.

Answer
expect to be earning around 150k per year with no debt to be able to comfortably and intelligently afford one.
they say that a car should never ecer be worth more than half of a years salary. with the tesla model S going up for around 70,000 (the basic one with little options and government rebates) around 150k a year means that you will be spending close to but not more than half your salary on the car. sure you can always finance it. but you will still be paying quite a lot more with interest.

you must realize that the tesla model s is not an entry level car. it competes with the BMW 5 series while providing new technology. early adoption is never cheap and with the added cost of the luxury in the tesla, its not a car for everyone.
I love the model S but honestly i want tesla to make cheaper cars for more people. (when tesla makes an electric to compete with a honda civic i'll buy it right away)

pigylover1

my friend is obsessed with keeping the enviornment clean and not polluting. what do u think?

Answer
your friend is right and you should follow the example
After all the Environment makes your life possible

It provides air to breathe water to drink ,soil to grow food and the forests maintain a climate comfortable to live in

And it is Home for all of us
do you have trash in your living room ??
No well then you should also not have trash outside which is the living space of everything and everybody

Besides a healthy Environment means that you an also be healthy

In Mexico poor people are forced to drink contaminated water ,knowing that they will get sick and maybe even die in the end .

Because they dont want to die of thirst imediatly and there is no other water ,because society has contaminated it all,and they are to poor to buy bottled water.

This happens also in Africa,China,and India that i know off

In my Town in Mexico the local Hospital has reported 9 types of parasites with the children and a whole range of skin stomach and eye complaints related to the dirty river

Ohhhh, so dems love them Obama stimulus bucks?

Gungy

$5 trillion added to the debt....why are Obama supporters ignoring this?

===> "What do Finnish cars, Mexican solar panels, and Danish windmills have in common? They were all funded by your tax dollars."

"Taxpayer money, mostly in the form of stimulus funds, ended up in the hands of companies overseas. Instead of creating jobs in America, the stimulus and other Obama policies created jobs or sent money to Finland, New Zealand, Indonesia, India, Mexico, Germany, Australia, Switzerland, China, Denmark, South Korea, the Dominican Republic, Thailand, Vietnam, Italy, Russia, Luxembourg, El Salvador, Great Britain, Spain, Japan, and France."

"How did this happen? Consider the example of Fisker Automotive. The company received $500 million in loan guarantees from the U.S. government to produce electric cars. Then they took their money and decided to produce their $100,000 electric sports cars in Finland."

Motorheads if an electric car could outperform a gas car in every way would you want one?

make kids electric car go faster image

FOOD FIGHT

If it were faster had better range and could be refueled faster and were cheaper to operate would you still want internal combustion.

Answer
No way. The biggest part of owning a hot rod is the sound of an internal combustion engine. Just hearing a V8 car with loud pipes gets me going.

Listening to a vacuum cleaner run does nothing for me. Sure, it's cleaner running and cheaper to operate than a gas engine, but you asked the MOTORHEADS what we think.

I love to build engines and tune them for power. I like them LOUD! I'm 41 years old, not a kid. I have done this all my life, and I'm not ready to quit yet. This would be like asking a surgeon if he would prefer to have a robot and a computer perform an operation. I doubt it.

Well, that's my 2 cents.

What happened to electric cars like the one a neighbor drove back around 1960?

Sassy Sue

While watching "Who Killed the Electric Car?" I was jolted into remembering that when I was a kid, a neighbor had an electric car! It was small and different looking, but worked great. He was a big guy, but could fit at least 4 kids in w him, and it went as fast as other vehicles, and I know he took us at least 20 miles round-trip, no problem.

Answer
The technology at the time used heavy lead-acid batteries. A tankful of gasoline plus the tank itself, in an intermediate car, weighs perhaps 90 kg (200 pounds), and would fuel the car for perhaps 600 km (350 miles). Lead-acid batteries of the same weight might give a range of 30 km (20 miles). Electric cars extended the range by carrying as much as a tonne of batteries, adding weight also to the car to support the batteries.
You can still buy some electric cars or car kits such as the "Voltswagen". Mines use electric vehicles, some powered by Edison cells (iron-nickel alkaline) which have low energy density but a looong lifetime.

Can anyonce please let me know Cost of living in KL, Malaysia. I have been offered monthly pay of RM8500.?

kids electric cars malaysia image

panks2506

Is this enough money for the family of three ( me , wife and kid 2Yrs ) so that I can save some ? Your inputs are really valuable for me to take decision, I'm currently in India.
Thank you very much Dante for so much of useful information !! It will definately help me in various ways!!!

Answer
http://www.expatforum.com/articles/cost-of-living/cost-of-living-in-malaysia.html

Thats a good article on cost of living in that area...

It says the cost of living for a house is around 100 to 150 euros now based on your said income of 8500 ringgits = 1,697 euros you should be more than ok.


But according to this gentlman it would seem somewhat more expensive...Decent (furnished) condo in one of the Damansaras or such as TTDI/Sri Hartamas (per month):-
One-bedroomed : RM2,000 perhaps less.
3-4 bedroomed : RM3-4,000
Electricity : RM80-RM250 (depending on # of occupants)
Water/Indah Water : RM20-RM50
Gas : RM30-40
Eating out at local foodstalls : RM5-RM10 per person per meal
Eating out at western restaurants : RM25-RM100 per person per meal.
Draught beer in a pub : RM8-RM12 per mug (1/2 pint). Look for "happy hours"!
Premium cigarettes : RM9 per 20-box.
Taxis from the named suburbs to city centre : RM15-RM20 each way.
Car hire : RM120-RM150 per day (but much better rates for long term lease)
Petrol : RM1.80 per litre

I'd personally recommend you look around in TTDI, especially if your wife and daughter join you, as this is close by the huge shopping complexes of 1 Utama and Mutiara Damansara, which will be convenient for your wife (no need to go downtown for anything). There are also international schools in the vicinity, and it's generally quite a pleasant (green) and safe area where good English is spoken by almost 100% of the residents and shop/business keepers.
Many ex-pats incline to Mont Kiara, but this is rapidly becoming an oppressive concrete jungle.
There are usually units to rent in Villa Flora or Kiara Park at (fairly) reasonable rates, both of which are well-run, secure condominiums, and a few minutes from the Kenchala (sp) link, which will scoot you into and out of town.

Apparently its all about location...Well, if you don't really mind the inaccessibility to foreign grocers, pubs or a decent Montessori, I'd recommend, since your office is in KL, to stay in somewhere like Sentul or Gombak. You can get a decent 2-room apartment for about RM700. Electricity, let's just say you have no air-con but you have a computer, fridge, hot-water shower, electric kettle and iron, perhaps RM100. Food I don't know how to quote, but to get 3 decent meals a day (and I'm talking about keeping it about RM20 per person per day) it would cost about RM2000 for 3 people. The rest for transport it depends, you taking LRT, car, taxi or bus? Let's just say you take the LRT, I'd give it about RM100. Well, I guess all in all, to just survive decently, you'd need about RM3000 for you and your family.


http://board.classifieds1000.com/Malaysia/Expat/Living_in_Malaysia

Its a multi racial country. Living in the cities you get everything that Singapore has but less expensive. Living in smaller towns, its cheaper. Travelling from North to South by driving takes 7 hours via highways with tolls. Cost of living: Heavy Breakfast RM4.00, Heavy Lunch + Juice RM9.00, Heavy Tea time RM 4.00, Heavy Dinner + Juice RM 10.00 and Supper RM 5.00.
We Malaysian eat hell of a lot. There are stalls, shops everywhere and every time is food. Even McDonalds is 24/7.

Cities Rent a room Rm300 per month, towns RM300 the whole house. No guns, only the government has it and the underworld drug dealers. Death to all drug peddlers. You can't find gunshops and very limited shooting range. Even rich people can't get guns. Excellent schools and hospitals. English widely spoken. Imagine Malaysian nurses can easily migrate to Australia, just pass the IELTS tests. That's quality. Learn more for those interested. Especially the British, UK the senior citizen should just sell their London home and live in Malaysia. Small homes in London cost 1 million pounds that's RM 7 million. Can live like kings and queens with full servants in Kuala Lumpur, balance of monies put into unit trust. Australia to KL cheap flights coming very soon estimated RM 1, 200 return.

Do you know why we cant find good jobs in America?

Building an emergency fund with little income?

kids electric cars for 9 year olds image

polished

I have a budget, but we squeak by every month. We now have $60 in savings that I've scraped together.

DH is a grad student and his future prospects are at about $40-50K, hopefully he'll be employed this coming fall. I am a SAHM. We have no payments beyond rent, electric, phone right now, although I do make very small interest payments on my deferred student loans ($5 every couple months). We REALLY need an emergency fund, start saving for retirement, would like to buy a house (someday??) and our car is 9 years old with almost 150K miles on it - and very testy. Where do I start? Should I just try to keep scraping a few dollars here and there together until DH starts working? Or should we take out one last student loan (unsubsidized $5K) to use as an EF? Or something else? I'm very concerned right now because the check engine light came on in our car today!

Answer
Polished,

First, you know this is NOT going to last forever. And good for you for thinking carefully and far ahead.

Here are some ways you can save money and put the difference into your EF:

Decrease the hot water heater temperature by 5 degrees.
Increase the notches in the fridge and freezer by 1.
Walk when you can with the kids (to the post office, etc.).
USE COUPONS!
Turn your heat on 68 and wear sweaters.
Showers instead of baths.
Candles instead of lights (after the kids are asleep)
Are you getting the cheapest deal from your phone company? MCI has extremely competitive rates, and they give you a full months credit when you have a complaint.
When you clean out your fridge, make stew (sounds trashy, but that was the best stew I ever made).

Put your coins aside in a box or something. At the end of the month, take them to the bank and put them in your savings account.

What are good stocking stuffer gifts for boys ages 12-14?

Signilda

Not too expensive, please. I can't afford all those electronic gadgets. Thanks

Answer
*They have the "lump o' coal" stocking stuffers at many retailers that have different gifts inside. Personally my oldest son collects cars. So what I bought last year was a pack of two that had the hotwheels inside.
*You can buy those small remote control cars ( I mean matchbox size small). Which seems to be a big hit with kids and parents alike b/c they are cheap and are not too space consuming. They can be found at walmart for about 3 or 4 dollars.
*Pack of Batteries.
*Finger Flashlights.
*One of their favorite cartoons or movies on DVD. I know it sounds expensive but relatively not. Walmart had ones like Spiderman 2 etc for 2.96.
*School Supplies( things you were going to have to buy anyway, its an even better idea if they are into drawing etc.) *You could get pencils, pens, colored pencils, etc.
*A Watch.
*Yo-Yo.
*Want to try something different and unique? How about going to a local museum or novelty store, you could buy some space food/drinks,lunar ice candy and funny gifts like talking pens or whoppie cushions.
*If they have a collection of some sort (rock, stamp, etc.) you could buy them something to add to that collection.
*You can buy those handheld games (starting anywhere from a dollar at dollar stores and walmart and on up. )
*Some cool Spy gagets/gear.
*If they like Harry Potter you could buy them some of those harry potter jelly beans in a bag for a dollar. They have many weird and different ones with burn toast flavor and many more. I bought several b/c they are very neat. They even come in a purple bag that can be reused. They also have choclate covered bugs, and Jelly slugs and range from 1.00-3.00.
*Socks.
*A Hat.
*I got Nextar 512 mb Digital MP3 players for 9.99 a few days ago.(TOYS R US)
*What about bath gift set ( or singles ) Like Axe or Bod. You can get body sprays, colognes, deoderent and body washes.
*Gloves.
*A small box of nascar shaped chocolate cars. (you can get their favorite racer if they are into nascar)
*Do they play a sport or an instrument? (get them something related to that, new knee pads etc.)
*If they already have some electronic gagets how about some accesories for it, like new earphones or skins.
*A book.
*A science experiment book.
*Video Games if they already have a system like psp, xbox, playstation etc. You could get them a new game or any one that you think they would enjoy.
*A new toothbrush.
*How about some nostalgic candy assortments like:
Candy Buttons
Candy Cigarettes
Wax Fangs, Bazooka
Jaw Breakers
Mary Janes
Candy Necklace
Cinnamon Fire-Pix
Atomic Fire Balls
Chick-o-stik
Sugar Daddy
Lemon Heads
Boston Baked Beans
Licorice Pipe
Root Beer Barrels

*Wallets
*Electric Toothbrushes
*Electric Razors (if its that time)
*Their Favorite magazine.
*Their Favorite Candies

I go to our Eveything is a dollar store, where I buy a huge stocking for both of my boys (you see these elsewhere for 15 dollars or more). They stand about 2 and a half to 3 feet tall. Not a bad deal for a dollar,and have good quality, they withhold all I pack in them and hanging up. Good luck and I hope this helps. Happy Holidays !

Does anyone know where i can get a jeep for older kids?

kids electric cars jeep image

Katie Luvs

My 11 year old sister keeps using my 4 year old sisters barbie jeep. My mom doesn't like this. Does anyone know where i can get my sister a jeep or car for older kids. It's her b day in a month.

Answer
Depends how much older you're talking about (nvm, just re read.). But at my local walmart, there's different kinds of cars that will fit, 2-5 year olds, maybe older.
They have jeeps too, and little corvettes and stuff , it's cute! :)
Good Luck!(:
EDIT: if it's for an 11 year old, i would suggest getting a bike, or scooter, they might like that.
Maybe an electric scooter.

is there a power wheel type toy for a 5 almost 6 year old?

Lisa Grego

My kids have never had one and we are finally financially well enough to get them each one. I am struggling to find one that my daughter will fit. She is only 40lbs at the moment but she is 3ft 10in. She is quite tall. If you could help me find one for her that would be great.

Answer
The top five Power Wheels vehicles are:
Power Wheels Fisher Price Barbie Smart Car retails for approximately $260
Power Wheels Fisher Price Stinger XS retails for approximately $250
Power Wheels Fisher Price A.T. Rex with Monster Traction retails for approximately $250
Power Wheels Cadillac Escalade retails for approximately $300
Power Wheels A.T. Rex Electric Ride On retails for approximately $250

The Jeep Hurricane is a good Power Wheels ride on toy, but it is definitely not the "best of the Power Wheels" line of ride on toys. The Cadillac Escalade will give you more bang for your buck.

The biggest problem with the Jeep Hurricane is that allthough it advertises as an "off road" vehicle, gravel and dirt really wears on the tires. After only 5 or 6 rides, the tires will start to crack and get holes in them if you are riding it off road. If you plan to only use it for street riding (sidewalks, driveways, etc), then it will be fine. If you plan on running it over dirt, mud, and grass, you will be replacing the tires on a regular basis.

What is the one thing you couldn't live without when your baby was born?

best electric cars for toddlers image

VillageGir

I'd love to hear what one (or more) thing (or things) you parents absolutely loved during your child's newborn weeks and the first year. I'm thinking about my baby list and registry. Thanks!
@Andrew: what exactly do you mean? Like, earplugs for dad? Yeah, um, that's not gonna work in our family. We're taking turns getting the baby.

Answer
My twins nursing pillow. I only use it for them one at a time, but if I was stuck on a desert island with them and could only bring one thing... that would be it.

Although without diapers it would get pretty stinky.

You can't take them home without a car seat of course.

For toys the doorway jumper KILLS SLAUGHTERS DESTROYS and ANNIHALATES all other toys. My guys are 5 months and been rocking out on them for 2 months.

ONLY the Graco is worth getting. I got the Evenflo - SUCKS. Worthless in comparison.

Graco doorway jumper cost $30, but worth $300 for fun.

I have all the stuff, all the toys, everything. For toys, Graco doorway jumper. I feel sorry for babies who don't have them.

I got the slings, I got the baby bjorns, I have the infant swings, bumbos, boppys, activity mat (okay, that one is IMPORTANT), I have 3 strollers, I have lots of bottles, pacifiers etc. gotta go with nursing pillow for feeding and for toys that doorway jumper.

I use prefolds and thirsties cloth diapers to. Much Much cheaper than disposables. For cloth get those, but if not using cloth that's fine to.

I change my guys on a waterproof mat on the floor. It is 1000 times better than a changing table. Because we do naked tummy time, play with them before and after changing... we do tons of floor time, and just change a diaper while we are down there.

I didn't have much help with the cleaning. Would have been great, but everyone who came to help me wanted to give them a bottle instead of helping me clean but I was breastfeeding so had to constantly tell them (my mom mostly) no. *sigh* Yes, help cleaning would have been nice.

Oh wait, an infant scale. I found that reduced my worries when breastfeeding. If you start to doubt your supply etc. you just weigh the baby and make sure they are gaining properly. Well worth the money. Pillow trumps it, but it is still a great thing to have for $30 from amazon.com. It also is a standing toddler scale for when they get bigger. Regular scales don't weight things less than 50 pounds very accurately, and infants not at all!

The best gift I got was my double electric breast pump... and the Kiddopotamus swaddlers! That is a tie actually. No, swaddlers win. Those velcro swaddlers will give you an extra couple hours of sleep or so a night. You want those very very much. Just 1 is fine. Costs about $12.

How do parents feel about spanking the kids?

Whitie

I was raised with parents that spanked I feel some situations call for it but what do you guys think?

Answer
I think it depends entirely on the child and situation.

For instance, if you have a toddler, who really likes to test you, by doing dangerous things like sticking keys in electric outlets, playing with wires, trying to touch the hot stove, running into traffic, etc..spanking can be a good tool.
To a toddler, doing those things is not dangerous, its a fun game to play with mummy. They do not understand the consequence of being electrocuted, or hit by a car. A toddler needs to learn that those things bring pain, and a swift smack to the bottom, will teach them that.
I would rather smack my child's bottom, then have to rush them to the ER or possibly watch them die.

As they get older, spanking become so much less effective. At that stage, you can reason with them. Make them understand there are consequences for being naughty. Take away something special to them, and they will understand why.

If I have a child like myself, spanking will be a useless tool. I was stubbourn and spanking me only made me angry and more likely to do what I shouldn't.

So, as I said. It depends entirely upon the child and situation. Every child is different and the way you punish one, may not work on the other. As a parent, you are constantly learning. lol

I will end this by saying, I do not believe in using spanking as a way to take out frustration with the child, or in anger. I also do not believe in spanking for every thing. If you overuse it, it becomes moot. The punishment should fit the crime and everything is not spank worthy.

How much does an electric car cost?

best deals on electric cars image

Gina ;

I would rather buy an electric car that is environmentally-friendly, but is that affordable?

Answer
Yes, electric cars can be affordable, if your driving needs align with the vehicle's strengths.
*
One good approach is leasing. Both the Chevy Volt and Nissan Leaf lease for just $349 per month. And, once higher gas prices kick in this summer, you could be saving as much as $200 per month by using electricity instead of gasoline.
*
A $349 lease with $200 monthly savings adds up to a very good deal. When the 3 year lease is up, just trade up to the newest and best electric car.

If gas prices get to high would electric cars be more feasible?

Q. Gas prices getting high. Would it be more feasible to go electric on cars? Only problem is if they can make electric cars at affordable prices so the common person can buy one.

I would probably like a small leight weight electric car just to go to work and back. With the light weight of the car, it would zoom along and if it stalls, one could easily push it off to the side.

Answer
You could look at a Mitsubishi MiEV. It's only about $22,000 after incentives. That's not expensive because you will be saving $200 or so every month on fueling cost.
*
There are also some very inexpensive lease deals available on Chevy Volt - as little as $199/month if you shop around.

How familiar are you with using solar electricity to power a residential house?

kids electric cars repair image

skattered0

I was wondering how much the average person knows about using the suns energy to power the average residential home...

Do you know of any countries that already use the sun to power homes?

please tell me where you are from as well please...

thankyou!

Answer
Hey 0077, to answer your primary question, I am quite familiar with solar power. We've been powering our home from the wind and sun for 11 years now, and for the last 5 or 6 years, we've been going into the local schools and doing seminars on the subject. In some cases, the schools have loaded a bus with kids and brought them out to our home to see it first hand. As for your second question, the average homeowner knows about as much about solar power as they do about the furnace in their basement. Unfortunately, this is where the technology has fallen down. Lots of people want to build a new home, and talk to the builder about solar power. Frequently they are told, "Solar doesn't work," or, "Solar is prohibitively expensive." Generally this is all they need to hear, and the panels are taken off the house plan.

Solar is not for everyone, or everyplace. Just because a home has solar panels does not mean they don't have an electric bill, and that says nothing to the fact that a stand alone solar home that does not have access to utility power has to live with a finite amount of electricity. What do they do on a cloudy week? Most stand alone homes, like ours was, use both wind and solar. The reason for this is that the two compliment each other quite well. In the summer, we have long sunny days, but little wind. In the fall and winter, we have short cloudy days, and high winds. When you have a shortage of one, there is generally a surplus of the other. Trying to decide between the two technologies is like trying to decide between a 3 passenger pickup truck and an 8 passenger van as your sole family car. Each has its advantages, but it probably makes sense for a two car family to have one of each.

There is also the fact that lots of people like to grow their own tomatoes, even if it is cheaper to buy them at the market. They have to learn all about watering, bugs, soil ph and weeding. People who live in a solar powered home have a similar curse, they can tell you just how much sun shined last November, and how much power the stereo uses down to the last watthour. Any self respecting homeowner wouldn't bother with the solar power, or the tomatoes, they would simply buy vegetables at the store, and electricity from the power company, and then sit home and complain about the price and quality of each. That used to be me, now I'm the other guy.

So no, the average homeowner does not know much about solar power, or furnaces. Most homes have furnaces, not many have solar panels. I wish they had both. In the 11 years we have had both, I can tell you that once solar power is installed, it is generally care free. We are on our third wind turbine here, and even though the last one is working better than the first two, it has had its moments. It has shut down 3 times, and had to be repaired twice. In all that time, my first solar panel has continued to make electricity, and I've never turned a screw on it or added a drop of oil. Yet, everyone I talk to about renewable energy wants to learn more about wind turbines it seems. They are neat, they move, they seem to have their own personality. They just require tall towers and routine maintenance. So does a car, and almost everyone has one of those too.

Many countries use solar power, almost all of them in fact, you just never hear about it, or see the panels in service. In the US alone there are over 100,000 homes and businesses using some level of solar power right now to operate at least some of their loads. That number is getting bigger as you read this by the way. I'll list some sources you can check out below if you want to learn more. Take care 0077, Rudydoo

If I itemize my taxes do I have to keep my reciepts for everything?

unwonted

I have some medical bills that I would like to claim on my taxes but I was told that if I itemize my taxes then I have to keep my recepits for everything. Even if I buy something at the dollar store, to eating out, etc? Or do I just have to keep the receipts for the things that I am claiming?

Answer
When you itemize your deductions on your tax return, you only need to keep receipts that prove that item is an authentic deduction.

If you claim medical expenses, then save all receipts from prescriptions and medical bills you've paid. When I pay a bill, I mark on my receipt...Paid 1/25/08 Check #754 and stick the receipt into a file folder. I also have my cancelled checks returned to me each month. If you're ever audited, you flip through your medical bills, attach the check to each...proof what you have paid.

If you're in sales...and will claim vehicle expenses and depreciation, client lunches, etc...then keep a notebook in your car, make note of your milage, gas, oil changes, repairs, etc...along with every receipt.

If you have a home office and plan to deduct part of your household expenses...then you'll need to save receipts from mortgage, electric, gas, water, taxes, insurance, repairs, etc...to prove the percentage of your home that is used for business...that you're claiming.

The IRS is only interested in seeing receipts for the exact item you're deducting on your tax return...so don't worry about keeping any receipts for personal, general purchases like lunch with the kids at Micky D's or cat food and munchies at Dollar General.

BUT...don't be disapppointed if you try to claim your medical expenses...and don't meet the allowed % of expenses vs. income. We've had some nasty medical expenses and never could meet their limit.

Hope that helps a little <:O)

When will the $7500 electric car federal tax credit expire?

best electric cars for 2014 image

James

I am seriously thinking of getting a Nissan Leaf but I have a few questions.
1. Is there a time expiration,
2. Is it limited to the first x number of people?
3. I live in California so I have the same questions about the $5000 credit for California.
4. Are you able to get a lump sum payment or do they spread the return out over a few years?

Answer
2014 or 200,000 vehicles sold by the manufacturer.

Congratulations on being so rich as to owe $7500 in income taxes. If you don't pay that much in income tax, you don't get the full credit. Year of purchase only. In other posts you said your family makes $55K and you have 1 child--that's a tax bill of around $3000 a year, so you'd only get an extra $3000 back.

California's rebate is first come first serve.

What is the difference between social networking and social engineering?

edetwi

Do you feel like it is becoming harder to tell the difference? With all the billions of ad dollars, can the network engineers possibly resist becoming social engineers to make people push the right buttons at the right time?
Silly Naguru. Describe it, don't parse it. Are you a computer?

Answer
Naguru never gives anything but a ridiculous answer. They are usually worse than this, way off topic, and so stupid you know he just wants the two points.

But capitalists who are advertising, like the one you see to the right side of this screen, are not doing 'social engineering'. Social security and Obama-care are forms of social engineering. So was the denial of rights in the southern states to freed slaves. And so, too, the government forcing us to use our corn for fuel, but cutting electric use by outlawing incandescent bulbs by 2014, so that it can also force us to use electric cars without creating any more electricity. Before you know it, we will be using candles as they did in the novel Anthem. That entire little book was about the social engineering of people to make them forget the concept of 'self'; after all, that is the best way to control people, by making them forget they are individuals, e.g., making them think they are immoral to have desires.

No, the capitalists who make us push the right buttons are simply using the technology of their day. In Henry Ford's day he made us by the Model T by designing it the way most people needed it. You could even jack up the back end and use the transmission to power your farm equipment. How convenient--just like the advertising to the right of you that targets your every need, whim, and desire.

Social networking is just the modern form of the phone. My little brother used to spend 2-3 hours a day talking to his girlfriends on the phone. Now, his children text and use Facebook.

Who here can tell me why the year 2012 is supposedly to be the end of the world?

Ace

I know about the Mayans calender, but surely this isn't the only evidence people have to believe so?

Answer
The people making up the wild and crazy claims about "doomsday" in 2012 are grifters and liars. Some want your money (BUY MY BOOK!) and some just want notoriety. The claims themselves are nonsense. It is INSULTING to anyone with even a High School education in science that these people are allowed to espouse and print such ridiculous lies.

If I claimed that tomorrow the Sun would turn pink and bunnies would take over the world, you might suggest that I seek psychological help, yet when someone like Patrick Geryl says that "streams of positive ions will push the South Pole over making the Earth flip" like a pancake... or a crepe (he IS Belgian), you hardly EVER hear anyone say "Is he forgetting to take his meds?" It is just silly!

So often in Y!A we hear people say "scientists say..." or "look at the evidence that civilizations collapse every 3600 years" when NOT ONE of these people have ever even taken a science class. That much is obvious. Please disregard any such statements and only treat claims with some citations as at all likely. For example there is a nice NASA site in astrobiology which debunks nearly ALL the 2012 claims very neatly... and don't forget Penn & Teller! They show, with a healthy dollop of humor, just how laughable all the hoaxers are.... I LOVED the guy with the styrofoam balls on the strings!

Don't worry about 2012. Worry about your kids growing up to be sociopaths or not growing up at all simply because you forget to buckle them in your car. Worry about the government selling mining rights to big oil companies that want to drill for Natural Gas within a mile of old atomic bomb tests. (If you live in Colorado... switch to electric stoves)

There are plenty of real things to scare you in this world, you don't have to make anything scary up.

how can i make a remote control car go faster?

kids electric cars prices image

warlooker

i brought a small remote control car about less than $20.00 hoping i can make it go faster.
how can i make it go faster i want to put a battery in so the motor can spin faster and oil my gears.
but is there any other way to do it.
thank you guys for helping.

Answer
For $20.00 you can't expect to get much more out of the car. It's not really built for speed at that price. Basically, this is a kids toy. There is a huge difference between remote control cars for kids and remote control cars for adults. The complexities of the cars have a very wide gap. Kids cars will run on just a few AA batteries. RC cars for adults feature full miniature engines. Lots of the popular motor kits run on fuel such as gasoline or nitro. Others run on large battery packs that are essentially beefed up versions of kids toys. These cars require just as much maintenance as a real car, since they have all of the same components (plus all of the radio transmitting gear!) to deal with.

So you may want to save up and get your moneys worth by opting for petrol, nitro or electric models. The fastest engine choice that you can find is a nitro engine. Nitromethane is an alternative to regular gasoline, and runs much better for RC cars. It is usually heavier, and therefore more cumbersome on the handling of the car. However, if you are going to be on a fairly straightforward and tame race course, it is a great choice and will provide a huge speed. The only down side is that nitro engines are known for wearing down faster, and breaking at a higher rate. If you use a nitro engine frequently, you can almost expect it to break after intense usage. It is a good idea to have an electric engine that you can swap it out with when the need arises.

The other parts of the car are equally important when you are aiming for absolute fastness. If you are you going all-out on a project, you should expect to spend quite a bit on components like wheels and axels. Usually you want to get wheels that are extremely firm and light. If you have the opportunity to go out to a hobby store and test out a few different components, you will be able to decide exactly what you want based on experiencing it first-hand. This is the best way to shop for anything, and the same goes for remote control cars. Since the parts are usually highly swappable, you can directly compare one with another by trying them in quick succession.

If you arenât a very technically inclined person, the thought of picking all of these parts might not sound very fun. However, you might not have to go through this process. It is possible to buy kits that include all top of the line parts, and are quite easy to assemble. With these you wonât get the high level of customization that you would get out of building a regular home-made car. Being able to choose all of the parts separately is a great benefit, although 90% of the time you can replace individual parts if you decide that you want to go for something that is of a higher quality or a little bit faster than what you had before.

All of these things really add up. If you have one part of a car that doesnât perform as well, the entire thing will be affected. Therefore you need to choose your parts carefully to have the best remote controlled car possible.

Do you think the V8 and other large engines for automobiles will be outlawed in the next 10 years or so?

Warl�ck77

Sometimes I worry about buying a car with even a small V8, with new technology being explored for optional power. Maybe something will be introduced into automobiles that will push the V8s into oblivion.

Answer
Outlawed? No. Not Made? likelyâ¦. Just when Hot cars like Camaro ZL1 & Shelby Mustang come back with horsepower, the price of gas goes nuts. Result? The days of the high school kid with a muscle car are dead. You will have to pay $40K+ To even sit in a hemi car. The v-8 wonât dissappear. Detuned on power & offered with the new variable valve timing systems like dodge uses. Then for ordinary driving it will run on 4 cyl. and when you floor it, all 8 cylinders kick in. Thus the best of both worlds. High power & good mileage.

The threshold for gas guzzler taxes might be raised, and fuel costs may make them weekend toys and work vehicles only, but no. An 8 cylinder Corvette gets better fuel economy than a 4 cylinder Subaru STI. It just is NOT that simple.

Also, V8s donât get inherently worse fuel economy than 4 or 6 cylinder engines. There is more to it than that, and the big low-end torque of a V8 can actually help fuel economy if paired with really tall gearing. It depends on how the engine is tuned, the mass and aerodynamics of the car itâs in, and the transmission and differentials that it is mated with.

Yes, electric motors WILL push V8s into oblivion. They have even better low-end torque than a V8, so much so that the problem with using them in performance cars (like the Tesla) is that if you want to have multiple gears (most electric cars thus far are direct-drive) you need one hell of a tough transmission. An electric motor can hit a transmission like a sledgehammer making all itâs torque instantly, while a V8 starts off at nothing, itâs comparatively gentle.

Is there any pedal cars or any kids electric cars that are for older kids, like 9-11?

electric cars for kids 12 and up image

Vivian Wal

Is there any pedal cars or any kids electric cars that are for older kids, like 9-11?

Answer
The electric cars for kids are not new on the market and they are becoming more and more sophisticated with the development of this segment of the toy industry. You can readily get one of these for your kid. He or she will definitely love playing with it outdoors. You will also have the peace of mind that your youngster is perfectly safe while having fun. Still, most parents think that it is very easy for such a car to be chosen. The truth is that this is not the case - you can choose from numerous models with different specifications. Here are some tips that will aid you in making the right choice.

The voltage of the battery is essential. The 12 volt models are the most widely available ones. The battery can last for a couple of hours and get charged overnight, which is convenient for both children and parents.

then, is it possible using cable, or you want control it by signal?

if it is possible to use a long cable, just find something that can be rotating. Simply, make a piston-driven water gun by it, just like piston in car machine.

How good are electric cars compared to normal ones? How do they work exactly?

best new electric cars image

Awesome Po

I'm 17, I'll get a car soon, I'm just wondering how electric cars stack up next to a regular car...pros and cons?

Answer
Electric cars come in hybrid and pure-electric forms. Hybrids use gas engines in combination with electric motors, and may or may not have to be plugged in. Pure electric cars need to be plugged in, and the time it takes varies.

This explains the variation in charge times: http://www.plug-in.com/charge-times-how-long-to-fill-your-battery/

If you only plan on driving your car short distances between recharges, then an electric car will save you money in the long-run. However, since you're young and might want to take road trips or travel to college, you might want to wait until prices for electric cars go down.

Performance-wise, they can be pretty equal if you are willing to pay the right price. The available options are less, however, and you should put a little time into researching a car before you buy it. I'm sure you already know to be safe once you get your car. Congrats and Good luck!

How would the environment change if everyone drove electric cars?

jaredbiunn

Just having fun speculating and such, how much better would the environment get if the world drove electric cars.. would we physically see a noticeable change?.... I mean, this is obviously not possible in the near future, the whole word driving and being comfortable with electric cars won't be reached at least for another 50-100 years, but just to satisfy my curiosity.. how much will this benefit our planet?

Answer
How would you describe the change? It would be hard to fix an actual percentage. You might listen to the inspirational beginning of an EV world podcast: http://www.evworld.com/evworld_audio/gpastor_shanghai-to-paris1.mp3 You could read a nonfiction book on the subject: http://www.amazon.com/Future-Drive-Electric-Sustainable-Transportation/dp/155963328X or you might see a movie that featured electric cars or watch a youtube video interview:

Minority Report
http://www.youtube.com/siemens

But if you wanted to fix a percentage it would have to start with the pollution given out by the vehicles of today. How much does auto pollution presently damage our planet? You would have to look at each element of pollution separately. Also, are we counting all harmful substances or only those that will be metabolized in a fixed or variable amount of time? How do we determine how much time.

We can say with some certainty that approximately 60 to 70% of crude oil's refined products are used in transportation. The pollution will be found in the air, our water and our soils. Oil pollutes during its production1, exploration (the BP well was an exploratory well), transportation (tanker spills), refining (energy usage and byproducts, transportation and storage again (road and pipeline spills ) pumping (ground and water contamination at gas stations, and use (air pollution, water and soil pollution from "lost" oil 2) Of this we can probably attributed 50% to ground transportation that would be replaced by electric cars and trucks. (I would assume you may include trucks in you overall assessment.) This source determines the tonage per vehicle of greenhouse gas emissions: There are over 200 million vehicles on the roads in the US alone producing 1 billion tons of CO2. Refineries would add to this amount.
