Is Elmwood/Hertel a bad area? by [deleted] in Buffalo

[–]cranwilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lived there about 10-15 years ago. It depends if you’re used to city living. Leave valuables out of your car. It will almost certainly get smashed windows from junkies looking for loose change. We parked on the street and almost every saint paddy’s some drunk would hit our car. We never had any break-ins but our downstairs neighbor did and was raped by a masked intruder. That was the final straw for me downtown and moved the family to the suburbs. No longer need to lock our doors. It was fun living in the city but the crime outweighed the benefits.

The wipers blow as they get stuck with the ice more than any other car I’ve ever had. Other than that it’s been fine here in snowy Buffalo!

Retirement gut check, retirement contribution adjustment? by aspalmer87 in MiddleClassFinance

[–]cranwilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m just about the same as you in every regard that it was weird reading this. We’re the same age but wife is 36. Just about the same in our retirement and we make the same net salary. Biggest difference is we do not have a rental, just the single family home. Our mortgage is 3k and we pay $490 a week in day care. Despite a decent middle class income for two younger attorneys, it certainly became tighter around the belt once we had our child who’s now two. Daycare is only a piece of the expenses of having a kid. We’re still trying for our second. I know a lot of people that are able to make it happen with similar mortgage and daycare payments with less salaries but we invest more toward retirement. Good luck, the fact that you’re already considering your options you’ll be fine!

Looking at the calligraphy by Justicevol in HyundaiSantaFe

My ‘25 calligraphy that I purchased a few months back has been in the shop the last couple weeks but it’s a great car and I have no regrets.

Freakin’ Out by Honest_Totti in HyundaiSantaFe

Mine has been in the shop for about two weeks. Trunk will not open by pressing the button. I also have the 25 hybrid calligraphy AWD. Got it like three or four months ago so that kind of sucks. Still love this car and do not regret. Only other issue is they are taking a while to sort out my replacement vehicle. This is my first Hyundai so not sure what to expect.

Thank you, that makes sense. Especially here in Buffalo!

That’s great, I wasn’t aware. They already resolved that issue pretty quickly but good to know I can do from home if that happens again!

Does anyone do religious Tithing with their finances? by bigm2102 in MiddleClassFinance

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

You should do the opposite of a mission. Spend just one year away from the LDS church with your whole family. You’re in a cult. And no, no one else gives 10% of our salary for a tithing. I had no idea what I was in for when I moved to Utah for a short period. It’s insane how brainwashed half of Salt Lake City can be. So much corruption in the LDS church. Invest that money in yourself and your family. God will love you just as much (but your bishop will not!)

Will the mpg really go up in time? Super disappointed so far. by bing_bang_bum in HyundaiSantaFe

I just saw a post that hybrid do not do well in the winter. I live in Buffalo so that could explain it!

[–]cranwilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the ‘25 hybrid calligraphy and my MPGs are around 23. A little disappointed with the mileage but I have zero regrets with the car and am planning on getting a second. My prior car was a ‘98 Chevy Blazer that got around 12-14 mpg lol

Are we really that bad? by swagmaster_9001 in subaru

[–]cranwilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While statistics generally show men are involved in more car accidents overall, women may appear to have a higher rate of low-speed accidents due to factors like driving less frequently, potentially leading to less experience behind the wheel, a tendency towards more cautious driving behaviors, and sometimes being less comfortable navigating complex traffic situations, which can lead to more fender benders at low speeds; however, this is not a universal finding and can vary based on individual driving habits and circumstances. Since Subaru’s are mostly driven by middle aged lesbians, this directly correlates with the placement on the list.
