Purchasing a car is by and large the worst financial decision young people make. Especially if it’s financed. I’m not even sure it’s a decision they make of free will. It’s sold to them as an essential step along the road to adulthood. Car ownership is a prison. I’m sure many people will argue that cars are essential, and that where they live you can’t do without one. Which is mostly true of where I live. But the broader issue is that we’ve done this to ourselves. One of the ways to build a better more social living existence is to deny car ownership. I don’t believe the world was better in the olden days l, before cars. But I do believe it can be better in the future with less of them.
