I got rid of my first post college car 2 years ago. I had that car 15 years, so I definitely beat the odds. I've never understood the desire for a car to be more than a source of transportation. Some people seem insistent on extending their sexuality with a car. Others feel that having a different cars makes them a better person, but these are just externalities. I feel like the bigger reason students leave the US and shirk responsibility is because they can. They took a degree that doesn't pay as much as they'd expect, or maybe they are just poor planners that don't care about the future. These are exactly the types that you would expect to take on high risk behaviors for smaller rewards. There's nothing wrong with that, except for claiming that it was the only option they had. Certainly they (and many others) have plenty of options. Some have the habit of making poor decisions until they paint themselves into a corner.
