Re: Great news! No more agent commission
Ideally this will put pressure on the industry to become much more efficient. It seems crazy to me that such high fees are charged for sometimes so little work. Agents may appear to do “little work” but they have an array of expenses. Licensure fees, association fees, desk fees, continuing education, insurance, advertising and marketing costs, vehicle maintenance and fuel, and more. It can be a lot of work for little results at times. As others have stated, the part-timers and poor performers will certainly fall by the wayside, but more established agents may also follow suit. The industry will certainly change and the consequences may not become immediately apparent. All those expenses show how inefficient the industry is. I agree that mo...

Re: Extra Low Mileage Drivers: How much do you spend on your car?
We're at similar numbers for each of our old cars, with depreciation, by doing our own maintenance and repairs. We've thought about downsizing to one car, but there are a few times per month that having both cars is extremely handy. Uber/Lyft service isn't reliable in our city.
We decided the extra ~$120/month/car is worth the luxury of convenience to keep them both. (But, opening up space in the garage would make me very happy. ) I'm still waiting for the robo-taxis that make car ownership obsolete.

If your state taxes all dividends the same. And let's say you are in a very common 24% federal bracket, wouldn't you saving 'just' 24% - 15% = 9% on the qualified portion of dividends? This is minuscule even you assume half of the dividends are qualified and even if you don't take foreign tax into account? Isn't this just like 0.10% basis points of savings?

I believe you'll need to calculate/add the discount "ordinary income" manually. Then, you'll need to adjust your basis of the tax lot.
