Tell my why you wish you didn't own a car
I live Downtown Toronto
Public transit is at my doorstep, I see cars stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic everyday, I know I'll pay ~$1000 towards car payments (including gas, insurance, parking and whatever...probably more) which will reduce my savings, I live in a condo so no space for storing winter tires. And multiple other reasons to not buy a car. For now, I don't have kid(s) and my wife and I can take public transit easily.
All that logic, I know.
BUT I really am leaning towards buying one.
So, please tell me what's the maximum out of the pocket cost you've paid as overhead just because you couldn't get away with it and now you feel that you wish you didn't own a car. Or any other reason.
Edit: Geez OK guys. Understood. Better off putting money elsewhere - renting a car, gifting wife a $9k purse (LOL), investments, leisure activities etc. Thank you from the bottom of my heart (or should I say brain?)
