I got a super small crack on my windshield last night (top right corner and smaller than a dime). Insurance covers it and offered to send someone over, but not until 11/15. Will it keep expanding from now until then if I keep driving? Don’t drive much, but still need my car occasionally. Thank you.

You’ll be fine. The windshields do amazing work. If it’s just a small crack, it’s probably still good to go for years. You’ll definitely notice if it gets bigger, but it won’t just explode or anything. All good!

I’m not sure where you’re based but this is the time of year when cracks expand (cold in the AM and warm during the day).

I’ve had cracks filled but they eventually expanded and I had to replace the windshield. The service to come out to my house was way out but I could go in and get it filled much sooner.

If it’s a crack and it expands, they might still be able to fix it. I think you just need to avoid it splintering

Go get the windshield fixing kit from Home Depot / Walmart /whatever for 30 bucks. It won't fix your windshield, but it will fill it with resin and prevent it from spidering.
Can't speak for weather, but I did it in SoCal once and didn't have to replace the windshield for years until I sold the car.

I once watched a small crack spread across my entire windshield during a 5mn drive. But it had been there awhile and it was largely a function of going from being parked overnight in sub zero weather to warming up the interior. Insurance then handled a full replacement. You’re probably fine in October.

What car insurance do you have that covers windshield damage?

I have USAA.

If you hit a big pothole it could definitely spider

If you live in a cold weather climate using the defroster could cause it to expand.

If they said wait until next year I'd worry -- but not 6 weeks -- I'd drive it as is. Just watch it. You can also get some sort of little piece of windshield tape to put on it. They make it specifically for windshields although according to this little blurb on the internet...
Clear packing tape works best, but even basic adhesive tape can do the job. It helps prevent the issue from getting worse, though you should only rely on clear tape if it won't obstruct your view. This quick fix is extremely handy, especially when you don't have the money for a windshield repair right away.May 14, 2018

They will replace the entire windshield free of charge if necessary

Hi tax 🐠,

I have a question for those who prep individual tax returns. My parents claim my grandfather as a dependent on their tax return and due to their low income, receive PTC for the premiums they pay on his insurance (not eligible for medicare). However, would it be advantageous to have him file for his own tax return (he stays with my parents and doesn't have his own proof of residency via bills). If so, can he get PTC if his income is 0?

Thoughts on this offer? $145K base + 10% bonus + $5K signing (TC year 1: $165K). No stock. No RRSP matching. Role is BizOps Senior Manager (IC). Industry is Insurance. Is it too low? Thanks.

I'm a first yr attorney at an insurance firm and am in the process of interviewing for an in-house position at a tech company. The position is pretty much generalist, but I get the impression I'd be working mostly on SaaS and partnership transactions. I definitely think I would like the transactional work better, but I am concerned about the long-term earning potential vs. partnership. How common is it to eventually make $350k+ in-house/how difficult is it to transition back to a firm? Thanks!
