But what about the car part...couldn't do without a car

My husband turned in his lease two years ago and since then we have been sharing one car.

Let me tell you what it is like for two people, both work, sifferent schedules, sharing one car.

IT FREAKING SUCKS!!!!!

I don't know where you live, but with the exception of an aged but well maintained work vehicle, we buy 'beaters'.

Five hundred cash or so, private sale, as is, paid for, liability insurance only, drive it 'till it drops.

We do not have emissions inspections in our area (which helps), but we don't drive 'oil burners', either.

If you are not out to impress, basic transportation can be had on the cheap. YMMV...
