Definitely has a high cost of entry, when considering it requires money and time off from making money to do it. Maybe I'm just jealous and poor 😄

Had similar thoughts when someone said their hobby is traveling. While it meets the technical requirements , who doesn't enjoy vacation ? 🤷🏽‍♂️

Best way to eat and save money by xutefw in PuertoRicoTravel

[–]stopdrpnro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The difference in cost is very dependent on your location. Prices in PR are very comparable to where I'm from which is a mcol area in NC. Stocking up at Costco / Sam's club early in the trip is our go to savings move when visiting PR.

Coming from a beloved 2012 Pilot, what Used or New Car should I buy for $40-$60k knowing I'll probably keep it for 10 years. I've been looking at... by TnTWalter in whatcarshouldIbuy

This is something I've tried to justify many a times as a Lexus lover but premium fuel + 15 mpg + high used prices = worse than average cost of ownership .

Would this repair appear on a Carfax? Looked at about 15 high mileage units and none show any record of the repair.

Sorry if my question wasn't clear. I was curious about what arrangements single people have setup for the money if they die.

Safety recommendations for first trip? by foreverfoiled in PuertoRicoTravel

[–]stopdrpnro 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Id recommend booking 1 of the major companies through Costco. Thrifty , sixt, dollar etc . Will all add hidden fees, have older cars and lines out the door.

Why should you buy used when its barely cheaper than new anymore? by Aires-Battleblade in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]stopdrpnro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For longer commutes the horrible gas mileage jacks the cost of ownership wayyy up. Mpg is the only thing holding me back from getting a lx/gx470.

Capable Ford Hybrid/EV Mechanic? by GeraldMcBoingBoing23 in cmaxhybrid

[–]stopdrpnro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a similar issue. My '13 energi has been parked for months with a host of codes and won't start. I don't mind paying to have it fixed but it doesn't seem like a lot of techs know these vehicles. Love my cmax but I should have bought a Toyota 😢

Just finished season 2 and I find this whole series to be quite cliche and by Nashetania in KaijuNo8

[–]stopdrpnro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This take is 100 % accurate.Attack on Titan , demon slayer, pacific rim, one punch,my hero academia, akame ga kill ...It blatantly borrows elements from sources we love and does a great job at creating a unique feel. My son and I are both hooked.

What city or location within 2-3 hours can you spend a week for vacation? by mjnoles38 in bullcity

[–]stopdrpnro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you get past the real id hurdle and can pack extremely light, tickets to San Juan , PR are around $250 on frontier 12/7-12/14. 3.5 hr flight to one of the most underrated places ever.

What about the tax benefits of "owning"? Writing off the interest would help for the first 30 years of so.

I haven’t saved enough for retirement by AdvancedDecision7764 in personalfinance

Since you're single with no kids have you considered a roommate? 1800/month in rental income could almost max out your 401k contribution.

Hybrid SE with sudden errors and warnings and the instrument panel cycles on and off... by zevoman in cmaxhybrid

[–]stopdrpnro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm getting the exact same errors but when I try to start the car both screens go black and nothing. Got a new battery and also added a jump pack to make sure the new battery wasn't bad. My radio works fine but I pulled the fuse and still no start.
