It's obviously up to you whether you own a car or not. But I'm carfree, by choice. I gave up being a car owner in 1995. Since then, life has not just been bearable, it has been better.
Not owning a car means that I save money, stay fit, don't get fat, and have less stress. From time to time, when I need a car or a van, I hire one. It doesn't happen very often.
You can find out more about the reasons for not owning a car at my website, giveupyourcar, and I'm writing a book about it, called The Four Wheel Detox, links below:
And if you wonder what life is like when you don't own a car, see my blog.
