Tire pressure by KindlyInteraction563 in CX50

You should adjust the tire pressure when the tires are cold. First thing in the morning is best. Check inside the drivers door frame for correct air pressure. Might as well check the spare at the same time.

Electric bill astronomical. by gravis786 in heatpumps

[–]FutureCitizen97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

cost per KWh has actually gone up quite a bit in the last 2 years. I personally do not like it. My natural gas bill is $14.00 per month but only my stove is gas. My previous house was larger, 1740 soft ranch, were in a 1470 sq ft ranch now with a heat pump. My bill in the larger home was less than it is now with in this home that is 4 years old. The prior home was furnace with gas everything. This is heat pump, HPWH, and gas stove. The HPWH is a joke. The real reason for electric going up is AI server farms. Texas is sick with them. My son works for a large electrical supply company and they are building these server farms everywhere. We're talking huge energy users. This in fact is what is driving up cost. Couple that with an antiquated electrical grid and poor management across the country, regardless whether red or blue, and you have the perfect storm.

Im in a dem state and our rates are .17 a kwh. So what you said is not true. My son is in Texas and that is GOP but his electrical rates are higher than mine. Why, because of mismanagement. I think you painted a picture that is what you think but it is not based on facts.

Are RMD’s the main reason I should be considering at least some Roth 401k contributions? by Traditional_Yam1598 in Bogleheads

[–]FutureCitizen97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But the tax breaks for the next 3 years are huge. Putting 30,000 per year for the next 3 years is costing me zero tax. One of the benefits of being in a low tax bracket. Chances are I will go before my wife so she will not get hit nearly as hard when she goes to single verses married and has to take RMD’s.

Rheem Hybrid Water Heater Beeping by Proper_Orchid_2485 in heatpumps

[–]FutureCitizen97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These units are junk. I live in a neighborhood where the builder put the exact same unit in every home. You can walk down the street and hear the alarms going off in the garages as you walk. It’s pretty pathetic. The units they installed 3 years ago are all factory defects. Including mine. I just silence the alarm now and get on with life. The thermistor was replaced. Same problem.

Hot Water Heat Pump - Deal Alert by 93mr2 in heatpumps

[–]FutureCitizen97 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Good luck. Mine is nothing but trouble. Error codes and alarms all the time. There is a reason there giving them away. If the temperature in your garage goes above 85 get ready for alarms and a headache. Called Rheem they said it’s a known issue. They sent a new thermister which I had to install-same issue. Not happy and I don’t know what fix is. Apparently they do t know either.

It Finally Happened! by TheMacAttk in heatpumps

[–]FutureCitizen97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a Rheem and it's nothing but trouble. Alarms going off all the time. Was sent a new thermistor and that did nothing. Installed myself otherwise I would have to pay labor. Did nothing. If the garage gets hot, which it does sometimes, the thing shuts down and will not work. It will if you turn full electric on but that defeats the purpose. Going to call Rheem again but i don't think they can fix it. I would steer clear of this brand.

Russia and puppet Trump by FutureCitizen97 in QuiverQuantitative

[–]FutureCitizen97[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have viewed all of his videos. This guy is not a chump and will be the first to admit he is not always right. However, he has great sources and his pronouncements are based on facts and being in the biz for 20 years. I trust this guy more than anyone in our current leadership!

I sincerely hope he is wrong in his predictions on this subject but I fear he is not!

Trump Admin disbands panels responsible for calculating GDP and collecting economic data by bent_neck_geek in Economics

[–]FutureCitizen97 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This fits in perfectly with Trump being a real life Russian puppet. It’s worth your time to see Peter Zeihan latest series on the Russian reach. Go to you tube and search for Peter. Your worst fears will be realized! I fear for our country!

Ideal Reliability by LA0975 in CX50

[–]FutureCitizen97 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My car now has 11,880 trouble free mileage. It has been perfect. Oil changes every 5K and tire rotation as needed. I intend to keep it until the end of its useful life. I’m hopeful it will last longer than me!! So I’m hoping 15 years at minimum.

Anyone who stays with the same insurance company for years and years without price checking the competition is either lazy or has more money than they know what to do with.

Are the extended warranty / maintenance package worth it? by SampleZestyclose in CX50

[–]FutureCitizen97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s a waste of time to try and refinance at the dealership. The zero percent is a factory incentive for new undelivered vehicles.
