Just got an email informing me that I’m getting part of a settlement from a class action lawsuit because of some issue concerning LinkedIn advertising.
I just have to click on the link to get my share of the settlement.
My share: $1.04. That’s right… One dollar and four cents.
Oh, I can’t wait to click on that link to see what happens next. 🤣
Today, 50% of U.S. businesses are home-based businesses. That number increases to 60.1% when looking specifically at non-employer firms, or companies that don’t have any employees.
Add the number of employees that work from home and it changes the perception of a home. Buyers are now overwhelmingly looking at how their home can function as a business.
When selling a home, consider how that home will meet the buyer’s needs to operate a business there too.
We bought our property with that in mind and are getting ready to launch our home-based business in our new town Lake Placid, FL.
Our need was to have a property big enough, pretty enough to operate an art studio, hold occasional events, and have amenities already in place for our business.
We found it on Lake Huntley, a 1.2 acre lakefront home with 2 dozen oak trees, dock, and a shed we could convert.

SmartAsset scanned IRS data from 2019 to see what each state’s biggest earners had in common, and what made them stand out from everyone else. They adjusted their 2019 findings to 2022 figures using the data from the BLS’s CPI for urban wage earners and clerical workers.
Key Takeaways
• Being one of America’s top earners is the hardest thing to do in Connecticut, where you’d have to rake in more $955,300 to join the one percent club. If you’re looking for a compromise, earning more than $336,900 would put you in the top five percent.
• Earning upwards of $275,000 would make you among the top five percent in New Hampshire, Maryland, New York, Colorado, Virginia, Washington, California, Connecticut, New Jersey and Massachusetts.
• The top one percent earners have an average tax rate of 25 percent in the top 15 states.

A brother and sister rented a Tesla and found they had to stop six times in one day to charge it.
Xaviar Steavenson and his sister Alice drove from Orlando, Florida to Wichita, Kansas.
They said other customers with rented Teslas had called Hertz with similar charging problems.
Xaviar and Alice Steavenson wanted to find out what it’s like to drive a Tesla, so they rented one from Hertz for a road trip from Orlando, Florida to Wichita, Kansas.
They knew that the electric car would need charging en route, but what the siblings did not expect was just how often they’d need to plug it in.
They realized it would take longer to charge the car after the weather turned so cold in late December.
However, it got to the point that the “battery would drain faster than it would charge,” Xaviar told Insider.
When they set off they could drive for at least two and a half hours before needing to charge the Tesla. “We ended up having to stop every one to one and a half hours to charge for an hour, then an hour and a half, then two hours,” he said.
“So beyond the lost time, it also got to the point it was between $25 and $30 to recharge. Just in one day, we stopped six times to charge at that cost,” Xaviar said.
Hertz said on its website that renting a Tesla was “always cheaper than gas,” according to Xaviar, but he said that claim was far from the truth.
