The IRS allows you to take a loan for half the vested value of your 401(k) account, or $50,000, whichever amount is smaller.
Both gas and electric stoves are in essentially the same price range, depending on the brand and model. Generally, you'll spend $650 to $2,800 for an electric stove, and $800 to $2,300 for a gas stove, according to Consumer Reports. If you buy a lower-end electric stove, you may save money upfront, but the costs of operating that stove will start to add up the more you cook. According to the California Energy Commission, most Americans currently cook on an electric stove, and they may not be taking advantage of the greatest energy savings.
At that rate, my calculations indicate that the cost to operate a Volt for 15,000 miles per year is not a whole lot lower than my 25 mpg four cylinder Malibu. On the other hand, if I install a second electric meter, the off peak rate for the charger will be $0.12 per kilowatt hour.n my analysis, I assume that I will put 20 miles of electric range into the battery on an average day. As such, given the EPA estimates of 36 KwH per 100 miles, you will need to put roughly 7.2 KwH into the Chevy Volt per day.
