Don't care about gray hair or balding. Don't have them either, yet. So... hard to say. But I drive a beater car and holes with shirts on the weekends. Likely won't care.

In this day and age, job descriptions don't matter much. You will be asked to do many things and you should probably just do them

Some combo of:
Fry's Signature (Kroger store)

Those are all within 1.5 miles of the house.

All buyers I have met with come in their car. I hand them the keys to mine and let them go for a drive. I usually sit right next to their car and wait. If they steal it... well, I have insurance.

Subaru Crosstrek. Great gas mileage, sits like a CRV, Doesn't create it's own extra oil, not a big hulk of a vehicle. The first year made was 2013 for reference.

My impression of NOLA was not positive when I visited for a business conference and stayed in the French Quarter.

Or a make-your-own rootbeer float station, with various brands of the soda and some differing icecream selections, might be good fun.

We did that at our wedding, was a HUGE hit!

Maybe some slushy type drinks would be good too?

How do you have a combined income of 800k-1.1mill but only have 2mill saved?

Could very easily be physicians who walked out with mid six-figures of student loans. If in a specialty, they are probably only a couple of years out of residency/fellowship.

When you think about it, they're not super incentivized to do an amazing job collecting.

I wouldn't rule out a WIFI enabled thermostat before checking with your utility company to see if they offer a rebate on purchasing one.

We have a Honeywell Thermostat that was free after power company rebates ($74.99 before rebate).
