smart move. the money saved is helping you survive biden's economy and the egg inflation.I had a car for a short time after I graduated
Sure it was more convenient, but really at the end of the day it didn't seem worth the extra cost given how I was moving
car culture is one of the worst things about the USA. it's not just the $$. sitting in traffic is soul-crushing. car infrastructure destroys cities. and every time you get behind a wheel, you take on huge liability. it's unfortunate there's only a few places you can live car-free here, and even fewer where half the city isn't devoted to cars (which triples the amount of time it takes to walk anywhere). driving itself is great, of course, but having to do it every day and at high cost is not.
since this thread is about saving money, no single move will save you more money in life than going car free.
