Owning a home has rarely been this much more expensive than renting in c/news@lemmy.world

Replace central air: $8k Deadwood 40+ year old trees: $6k Remove & replace concrete driveway without killing the 80 year old pine who's roots are buckling it: $8k Remove particle board siding and replace with vinyl: $12k New water heater (+ new requirements for not having a pressure bomb in the house): $3k

Owning a home for three years has been more expensive than renting for a couple decades. Sure the mortgage is $500 a month less then rent, but the loans/credit card + interest for all the above is killing us.

Seriously considering one of the brand new apartments in the up and coming district for only $2k a month if we can sell the money pit with outdated everything!!

Putting on makeup in public; specifically thought of refreshing lipstick at the table in a restaurant while waiting for the check.

Unnecessary inventions guy... Now a TikTok ad? (lemmy.world)
 

Been on Lemmy since day -5 of the API fiasco. Was excited to recognize the unnecessary inventions guy while scrolling, only to be super disappointed when I realized it was a TikTok ad! ☹️

You have a very interesting phone collection and I appreciate you sharing! Unlocked memories I didn't even know I had! 😃

So true! ☹️

PHEV is the answer! Give us options, doesn't have to be one of the other; Chevy Volt had it for a bit, but it must not have been profitable because now I can't find a PHEV that gets more than 30 miles on a full charge!

I loved my Volt... Charged overnight in a normal 110 outlet got me the 43 miles to work and back (after about year 5, not quite the whole way) but I could still decide to go on a 600 mile road trip spur of the moment. Had to give up the 2014 in 2023 when a full charge wouldn't go 20 miles. ☹️

There is no PHEV comparable now, though! Made the switch back to full ICE and I hate it.
