Well, how much does it cost you to rent a car for a weekend? I just checked and it appears to be over $300 for the tiniest clown car available near me. That is roughly triple the federal mileage reimbursement rate (assuming 10Kmi per year), so I'm guessing renting every week would be more expensive than owning. Moreso if you drive very little, because insurance, gas, and maintenance are less when you drive less. They're not pets; they don't have to be fed and walked when you're not interacting with them. But I would be more concerned about the cost of having things delivered. I'm not sure if the scenario you are thinking of is going to the store to get a week's groceries, or to the mountains to snowboard. I'm also wondering whether the context is "every software engineer makes at least $500K" or "all the people with $1000 in their checking account will be first against the wall when the revolution comes".
