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.
Multiply the kWh/100m figure by the electric rate to get the cost per 100 miles. For instance, the 2013 Leaf's kWh/100m figure is 29. If electricity is 12 cents per kWh â the national average â it would cost $3.48 to go 100 miles.
