I feel so old and SO naive

Okay, I'll qualify that it in MY situation it is super expensive to own a car even one paid off (my opinion) and it is more expensive owning a car than not (fact).

Okay, that's very different then what you said the first time and now you're 100% correct.

With 4 kids I can't go without a car but if I didn't have kids and lived in an area (like NY city) I'd probably skip the car myself.

Cool.

I totally get the infrastructure isn't in place for it to be cheaper not to own a car in your area and others. Though it works really well for me, it may not work at all for you.

For those who might be in a better position to be able to and want to, it took us years to slowly figure out how to live well without a car. For a long while we owned a car and tried all the little ways to get by without it.
