In my mid 20s I got rid of my car living in suburban Dallas and switched to using my $150 used bicycle. As a single person with no kids this worked very well for me. Right off the top I saved $1500 a year in taxes and insurance and another couple hundred a month on gas and maintenance which I was able to use to fund quite a bit of travel. Doesn't scale out well to having a family though.
