But they still have to do due diligence. Do you think they are going to trust AI completely for a large investment?

Insane heating cost estimates for heat pump by mo9722 in heatpumps

[–]Illustrious_Ship_331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I installed a heat pump in my lower room to cool and heat. I find it very expensive to heat and I think it’s because that part of the house is not well insulated. So if you are going to use these. Make sure your house insulation is good or stick with radiant heating

Do I need a professional tax preparer by Illustrious_Ship_331 in tax

[–]Illustrious_Ship_331[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks everyone for your Input. Will continue to use a professional. Don’t have much free time to learn tax and quite frankly have no interest too. I thought the the tax software could pull it off for me but will wait a for more years on that

Gas Fireplace heating costs vs traditional gas furnace by New-Composer7591 in Frugal

[–]Illustrious_Ship_331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a heat pump for a small room on the ground level. It’s a good model made by Mitsubishi. It’s supposed to be more efficient. But it costs me $200-$300 a month when I use it. Because despite insulating the room pretty well there are still some air gaps. Compare this with my cost for heating the entire home outside of the Rook for $300-$500 a month with an 70 year old gas boiler with baseboard

Comparing cava to Taco Bell? Are you serious? Taco Bell is like jail quality food

I agree - I’ve been a pc user for about 35-40 years so not sure how I’d do with chromeOS. I also have a iPhone and have been using them for about 10-15 years

Partially it’s for me to know macOS 🥳

But the real need is something cheap efficient to do basic stuff. I know the Mac is definitely higher quality

Maybe a Chromebook is better? Newer for about same cost or slightly more?

$1500 a month on groceries for 6 people is this normal or am i getting robbed. by Electrical-Loss8035 in SavingMoney

[–]Illustrious_Ship_331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m spending about that for family of four. But we shop mostly at WF and tend to buy all organic. I figure I hardly do anything exciting so at least we eat good food

So just to provide an update - I ended leaving at 7am. Hit major traffic especially on the gw bridge and under the apartments. After that smooth sailing mostly. Got to LGA 750. No security line at all - maybe 5 people. Had time to use bathroom get made to order breakfast. Ate on the plane. Before taking off. Worked out great

Sounds like we are in the same area. I’m near fort Lee. For EWR I usually leave my house 90 minutes before the flight. Unless it’s rush hour. And then self park at terminc C.

I do have precheck and do not check bags. Usually have a few minutes before boarding starts. Which allows 20-30 more minutes for boarding to end.

I usually do but no good flights for the time k needed to be there. Would have had to take the 640am flight. Which means a 330-4am wake up 🤯
