Parking’s a problem in big cities and expensive!!!
I bought a car last year because my commute’s 45 minutes each way, I thought it'd skip the crowded bus. But it’s been a headache right now. First, parking’s a nightmare. I circle my office for 20 minutes every morning just to find a spot. And when I do? $30 a day. That’s $600 a month, which is way more than I budgeted.
Then there’s insurance ($180/month), gas ($50/week), and last week’s $400 repair for a random issue. It’s bleeding me dry. Before the car, I took the bus and Ubered when I was running late. It's way cheaper and no stress about dents or tickets. People act like a car’s a “grown-up win” but for me it’s just bills piling up.
Yeah, it’s nice for weekend trips, but in the city? It’s not convenience, it’s a weight. Do you think city cars are even worth it?
Totally feel this! The cost of parking alone in big cities is insane. I'd rather just stick to public transport and occasional ride-shares.
