Can you live as a functioning adult in your area

Without a car?

Thankfully I think I can. It's easier to ride a bike everywhere than to deal with car insurance, car payment, car maintenance, gas, registration and worst of all, other drivers.

I live in DFW and we literally have the highest premiums because people here don’t know how to drive and it’s so dangerous.

If I didn’t have kids, I would totally be living that lifestyle of riding my bike because then I could also be getting exercise and I could save money by not having to go to the gym.

But yeah, car maintenance and the upkeep is something no one told me about whenever I got my first car knowing that anything at any time could literally break and I don’t know why I keep running over nails, but it’s like every 6 months have to get a new tire 🙄 not to mention how expensive oil changes are so if you are like me and you have a lot of kids, you have to get a vehicle that will fit your kids and usually that vehicle requires expensive oil changes 😩😩 I mean $90 may not seem like a lot, but it is a lot 🙄

@TurtlePink Yeah, that's a lot of bills and a lot of stress off my shoulders since selling it. This city has crazy drivers too
