Darn right on the not being "cheap" part, I could get into the whole "frugal living" thing but it looks tiring. Heck I like my sushi, $3 coffees, etc. But, getting rid of the car means I can save as much as if I were dining on pigeons and dandelions and digging the Goodwill dumpster for clothes, and I can still live in a fun way too.
