Title. I asked the same question on the car enthusiast community. Please share thoughts here for comparison.
- you save a lot of money. People easily forget how it all adds up.
- you save a lot of space. Cars take up a huge amount of space and are just sitting around 90+% of the time. Imagine what you could do with a garage if you didn’t own a car.
- you save a lot of time. A car needs maintenance, it needs to get cleaned, etc. All of that takes up time.
- less worries. About money, about it getting stolen or damaged, etc.
- you don’t need a driver’s license per se if you don’t own a car.
- you don’t have the sunk cost forcing you to use it. Say you buy a car and then you end up barely using it. You might feel obliged to use the car to go shopping or to go on vacation, because it would be ‘wasted’ otherwise.
