No wonder so many people end up bankrupt. They over spend, and live above their means ....
I know many people who could easily quit driving and get to work by bicycle, bus, walking or a combination .... Some people are probably spending over $2,000.00 each month for their vehicles. I know people who have half a dozen vehicles, and some people with even more vehicles than that, all being used everyday, fully insured, licensed, maintained, operational. That can easily cost $3,000.00 each month for six vehicles!
What does quitting driving and getting to work by bicycle, bus, walking or a combination have to do with acquiring or desiring a big house, another house, expensive tv, clothes, furniture, eating out all the time, fancy restaurants, movies, expensive vacations, big screen tv, tv and computer in every room, monster speakers everywhere, expensive that and that .... ? Other than having no ability to bring the stuff home at your leisure.
Wow! The price of "vehicles" jumped from $2,000/month to $ 3,000/month in the space of a single paragraph. How much will you claim the cost is tomorrow?
