  • Tbh we could probably cut all tax to individuals earning under $100K a year and it would still work while also not effectively be a tax on living in a high cost of living area as an educated individual. A quick check of zillow’s calculator (which I suspect is generous) says that with 60K a year, 20K down and 1K a month in bills you have a comfortable home buying price range of under 200K in the Northeast, which might get you a mobile home. Might. We almost jumped on a mobile home for almost that much and it was old and needed work and didn’t qualify for basically any good loans.

    100K a year but otherwise the same info affords 400K for a house, which is basically where you are starting for an FHA loan eligible house there.




  • I mean, it’s a hybrid vehicle that seats 7 people that is smaller in length and width than a new sienna, the same weight and the same towing capacity. It might be an inch or 2 taller than the sienna overall because I needed to add a 1.5" lift when I replaced my suspension at 195000 miles to give me the ground clearance to clear the rocks where I go camping when it’s fully loaded, but I still manage to get the 28mpg it was rated for 13 years ago. My previous 2006 highlander hybrid had almost 170K on it when I upgraded to the 2012. Hate on a Tahoe or Expedition or Wagoneer all you want because they are fucking absurd vehicles, but I bought literally the only used AWD, hybrid people mover/working vehicle I could buy, and when my 2006 hihy came out it was the only option at all 15 years before the Sienna went hybrid.
