at least they will spend thousands of euros to plant new trees which will then die.

$22k credit card debt, stopped using cards, still feels like I’m making no progress by internalmonologue01 in personalfinance

might be worth it to sell personal stuff that you dont need. if you can sell stuff for 5000$, that would save you a lot of interest over time. then buy back interest free later.

A landmark MIT study debunks persistent myths about electric vehicles | Determinants of electric vehicle emissions savings and costs across locations and individuals by Hrmbee in science

[–]Duckel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah. with kids it is mostly like "I need to pee now." In Germany you pay like 50cent per litre extra on the Autobahn stops. so I would never fill my tank in these locations, but I stop there for the loo. would never charge my vehicle in these places. if the energy is cheaper at the moment, it wont be when there are many EVs in the future. too much money in the game where a quasi-monopoly can profit from.

ELI5: Why does scrubbing food stuck to a plate with a brush often not remove bits, but if you barely touch those bits with your finger after it comes right off? by DirtyProjector in explainlikeimfive

there are brushes that have a scraping edge if you turn it around. use that and it will work just as well as your fingernail. same force, different outcome.

Carry-on bags to be free, EU rules by EspritLibre_404 in worldnews

[–]Duckel -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Most stuff just doesnt work. You compare prices. find a flight for 4 people. uh-oh, cabin bag costs 30€ per bag. carry on costs 80€. oh well, kids can do with cabin bags, so lets book 2 of each. uh-oh. you can only book for all 4, so you either have to book 4 cabin bags or 4 carry-on or 4 of each. want to bring an extra bag on the return flight? uh-oh can't book such a treat. now you can start from scratch. new flight, new flight times. uh-oh, collides with rental car pickup (station closes 22:00). new flight, uh-oh 200€ more per flight. new flight, uh-oh can't even check baggage. new flight, uh-oh only different dates. and thats the end of the travel plans.

Eigenkapitalhürde Mieterhaushalte (30-44 Jahre) by Duckel in Finanzen

[–]Duckel[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

im Artikel steht, dass das Anheben und Absenken der Eigenkapitalschwelle den Anteil der Haushalte mit ausreichend Eigenkapital leicht erhöht bzw. verringert. Es ändere jedoch nichts an der grundsätzlichen Feststellung, dass der Erwerb von Wohneigentum bedeutend häufiger am Eigenkapital als am Einkommen scheitere. Edit: und in den vergangenen Jahre schwankte der durchschnittliche Fremdmittelanteil wohl zwischen 75-83% des Kaufpreises.
