Going Carless In 2 Weeks - Bye Bye Benz

Anyone else carless? When I told my friends that I decided to not have a car, they thought I was crazy. The guys asked me how am I going to take the ladies out on a date. They also said all grown men should have a car

I'm single with no kids and I live in Philadelphia which is a big city. Public transportation is very accessible and there are a ton of Uber and Lyft drivers

My plan is to do more traveling. I rarely drive as I am making money from home (nowadays, anywhere with my smartphone). If I'm traveling more, then that's even less driving

I'm sure I will have to get used to being carless. Big part of it is a pride thing. Back then, as a young teenage, I was really looking forward to driving. Now, I don't even care. I don't care if I'm driving an old beat up car or a brand new Benz

I feel like I would have less stress when I go carless. No maintenance, no need to fill up gas, no car insurance, no worry about accidents or a breakdown in the middle of the road, no parking

Lyft and Uber have a car pool option which makes the ride cheaper. As technology advances and these car pool services improve, I think it will be more convenient and cheaper for me to just not have a car

I'm looking forward to doing more travels and vlogging. My Canon Vixia HF R800 camcorder came in. Amazon Prime offered me free SAME DAY shipping. Big props to their service. They definitely had a big negative impact on USPS, Fedex, UPS, etc. when they decided to have their own "Uber of delivery"

Drop a comment and let me know what you think! Are you carless? Thinking about going carless?

Sort:  

Roll by Vegas for couple weeks, u can stay in the extra room and I can make fun of u everyday lol

I will be there soon lol

I remember you getting this one 😊

Kai doesn’t like my hummer lol

You mean this one Fuchster

That will be interesting going without the car for awhile. I personally couldn't imagine doing it unless I was in Oahu, HI and I could only do it there for about 3 weeks or so.

In Tucson I would go crazy not having a car.

I remember visiting Oahu! Definitely need a car there but I was a tourist so I had a rental

The bus system is pretty solid on that island for being pretty spread out. I have never wanted to live in a super large city. I can't imagine living downtown Chicago, or New York or something.

@brianphobos I can't stand NYC for more than an overnight stay lol

I live in a small village, my car is my freedom around here. But in your situation i think you’re right. 👍

thanks for stopping by @tomber

I agree with you and I think that is a great choice, especially when you don't really need a car. All the money you will save which you can use for something you really like, like traveling or whatever is important to you.
