Aside from the gender dysphoria I was trying to suppress, I mostly liked high school. Lack of responsibilities, no debt, and spending time with friends every day.

I transitioned

“Optimal” in what way? On an average day, I use ~10-15% of my max charge, with a max range of ~200 miles, +/- a bit depending on outside temperatures. I actually have the “hilltop reserve” feature turned on so I have regen brakes available always, which stops charging at 87%.

Most people do not need their full charge capacity, it’s just nice to have for the occasional road trip. With improved charging networks, ~100 mile range would he plenty for the vast majority of people for the vast majority of days.

I’m using Zoho to host my emails for my custom domain (I pay like $15 per year or something). I do have DKIM, SPF, and DMARC configured, as they’re not hard to configure, as they’re literally just a couple of DNS entries.

Moving to another provider would just be a matter of changing these DNS entries along with your MX record to point at your new provider.

I don’t necessarily agree that you need to be able to pay cash for a car, but within reason. If you can’t pay way more than the minimum payment, you can’t afford it. Also, insurance exists for a reason!

I’ve got a small loan (~$14.8k originally) and I’m paying it off ASAP. After my 5 payments so far, it’s down to $11k. I’m paying over double what the monthly payment is set at, with all the excess going to the principle. I expect to have it paid off in ~18 months from now, if not sooner.
