Even short 15 minute Uber rides in my city (Seattle) can cost $40-$50. Going to the airport is an easy $70+ now days.
Between the two of us, going into the office just twice a month each would be $400.
Dentist appointments would be an adding $60. Same for doctors appointments. Mass transit would be around 90 minutes, and that is with good light rail service to the destination. (Have to get to the light rail station first...)
My 2 year old Kia cost me $15500 when I bought it in 2017.
Tires are my largest unexpected expense item, I lose one or two a year to potholes...

- scarface74 4y agoI just checked my Uber history from the one time I was in Seattle earlier this year for work. It was $57 including a bunch of fees and a 7.49 tip and the receipt claims that “driver compensation” was $39.22 including the tip. That was about a 16 mile drive to the airport. My Uber charge home from the Atlanta airport which was about 50 miles was $115. And I guess Uber is not forced to itemize outside of Washington Just some anécdata
