    The price of used vehicles is heading back up... ?

    I too am waiting for prices "to return to normal" before buying a light camper and switch out my truck for another TV. And yes, I expected to happen by now. Some of the high prices comes from dealers buying at auction "too high" and being unable to sell them. I mean, every 20th person that...

    Lead Acid Battery Recommendation

    If you are shying away from lithium (or cheap lithium) then I wouldn't go any lower than AGM. They say "it's a different formula" and not just a jelled acid battery. By my experience with supposedly "good" Walmart batteries (they won't replace a battery unless they first try to charge yours...

    Hot Topic: Social Security

    Yes it's weird they're saying it's going broke (from baby-boomers retiring, I guess) as they have already been paying into this 'fund' for 40 yrs or more. Shouldn't it have ballooned up "big time" just as they started to retire? And I don't see how "rich people" have anything to do with this...

It was very cheap compared to a laptop, and I just wanted to get away from windows and Microsoft this...

    Medicare vs. Medicare Advantage (open enrollment ends Dec. 7)

    I am on the cusp of my initial Medicare decision. I am leaning towards a national MA plan. I do intend to save ~$150/mo to cover co-pays and other charges (about the premium of plan G) so at least I can keep the left over (not the insurance company). I saw a YouTube video that compared a...

    Hello there! Not sure about getting into Van Life

    I don't know about Italy, but here in the US the schools fill the student's heads with all kinds of crap and doomsday scenarios. So first, realize that MOST of that stuff is crap and (mainly) forget it. That should lower your stress level some. Next, if your schooling is thru high school only...
