It would be so much we easier if they just admitted they were in highschool. Sure. The only thing I need a car for if groceries. The only thing this person needs a car for is 45$ of Mom's Costco membership worth of Doritos

You don't go to Costco to save money, you go so you have an excuse to buy a box of instant ramen.

@destructdisc this is pretty close to the reasoning I used to talk myself out of car ownership. The big thing for me was the realization I mostly used the car to go literally nowhere. Most of my driving was just aimless time wasting. I can waste time at home on my couch thank you very much.
Let green text guy live his own definition of an ideal life, but it would be a pretty pathetic life for me if the only place I ever had to go was the grocery store.
