Lucid Motors drops the price of its cheapest EV by more than $8,000::Lucid Motors is lopping thousands of dollars off the price of its most affordable electric sedans as it looks to boost demand after a disappointing year of sales. The rear-wheel drive version of the base model Lucid Air Pure will now start a $69,900, down from the previous price of $77,400. The more powerful Lucid Air Touring model -- which offers all-wheel drive performance and roughly 50% more horsepower -- will now start at $77,900, down from $85,900.

When it comes to cars there are cheaper options available aswell than a brand new electric one. I would never pay that much for a car even if I could afford it. That's almost the price of my house.

Where do you live that your house is less than $100k? Many would like to know.

105k€, Finland. It's a tiny 70 year old granny cottage 10 kilometers from the city centre.

Spent about 70s on Zillow and found this 4 bedroom home for under $90k. Finding affordable homes is quite doable. You simply won't be living in the middle of a city.

And yes, it isn't a mcmansion or a penthouse apartment. It's a perfectly livable 4 bedroom home, with a garage, central air, and very affordable taxes.
