I live in a city with light rail and busses everywhere. Everything I want to do in this city is 20-30 min driving. Put the bus/train into it? Make that 1-2 hours or longer if I have to transfer. Then hope whatever I want is near a train/bus stop. I have traded money for time. The cost of my car buys me time. If I did not value my time I would use the public transportation more. The places near my work if I wanted to 'walk to work' cost nearly 3x-4x what I am currently paying. So I have to trade off some time for money. It takes a balance of what you want and can afford. It mostly depends on how you see time and the options afforded to you by where you live and can afford. But mostly depending on how you see these two sentences 'there are 24 hours in a day to do whatever I want' or 'there are only 24 hours in a day and that is not enough'.
