The color of your car can affect your resale. Dangerous Dave talks about a study that says black and blue cars lose the most in resale. Plus, using your vacation PTO is important but some are still not using it.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is deeper in the den with dangerous day. Would
you facture the color of the car in buying a
new car? Somebody looked at the resale value of different
cars for five years. Two colors that kill your car's
value the most are black and blue. That's together, is
your car black and blue leg gets beat up? I
don't think that's what they mean, though. Blue cars depreciate

(00:21):
the most, losing an average of twenty seven percent of
their value the first five years. Black cars second twenty
three percent. Not clear why we're willing to pay less
for those two colors, but maybe it has something to
do with the Kelly Blue Book says blue and black
are two of the hardest colors to keep clean. Dark
colored cars tend to look filthier because it's easier to
see the dirt and actually harder to see the dirt,

(00:43):
unlike colored cars. Study also found the ones that retain
the value the best are white cars, losing just eighteen
percent of their value in the first five years. So
something to consider when you're buying a car. Uh, yeah,
my last one was blue, My new one is black. Oh.
Deeper in the two, Well, do you work for a

(01:03):
company that keeps insisting that everybody needs to take time
for themselves, only to make it extremely difficult for you
to actually take time off of work. According to a
new report, twenty three percent of employees did not take
a single vacation day in the past year. That's despite
the majority of them having access to PTO. Reasons why
workload is the top reason. Forty three percent of workers

(01:24):
have felt that they have too much work to justify
taking vacation, and thirty percent ever worried about falling behind
team culture. Twenty nine percent of workers feel guilty and
pressure to committed to their job, which leads them to
avoid taking PTO. Twenty five percent of workers say their
managers likely respond to discouraging manners when they ask for
a full week off and PTO expectations. More than thirty

(01:47):
three percent of employees say they didn't have enough PTO
to take a proper vacation. Some workers get unlimited PTO,
which actually makes it tougher to get away due to
unclear expectations of how and WANTAGE be used. Of course,
if your employer was actually invested, you know that there's
plenty of benefits to PTL and makes better people, more focused,

(02:08):
workers less risk of burnout and it's good for morale.
Also can provide more of a family vibe at the
workplace that they claim to offer. So take your vacation,
take your time off, you deserve it. To me again
for another episode of Deeper in the Den with dangerous
Dave right here.
