Top 5 Reasons To NOT Buy a Car!
Cars, Trucks, Vans, and much more are a common sight in today’s society. So common that we believe it to be a necessity. So common that it brings a great amount of stress to our daily lives when not having one. Have you thought about experiencing the feeling of not owning any sort of motorized vehicle? I know i have and today i’m going to pass onto you guys five reasons why you shouldn’t get a car.
1- They cost money. Not only does the actual vehicle cost a fortune in the present time, but the additional pricing of gasoline, and repairs have been roaring sky high within recent months. Not having a vehicle will save hundreds of dollars on gas, and possibly allow you to make some money by selling your car. There are thousands of dollars of savings when choosing not to get a car.
2- Exercise- Not having a car is a great way to get yourself in shape as you will either need to walk, bike, or run to wherever your destination may be. It keeps you outside longer, and keeps you outdoors. Not having a car really forces you to use your body versus sitting in a car stuck in traffic for hours at a time.
3- Good For the environment- I’m sure you’ve heard of all the jibber jabber about the environment and how global warming is affecting our planet. So what better way of preventing greenhouse gases then not creating any in the first place. Vehicles are a tremendous source of exhaust that is filling up the earths atmosphere. So take your part in preventing “the end of the world” and stop driving your car all over kingdom come. It also saves the world some much needed oil, as right now we are noticing a slight decline in the amount throughout the world.
4-Support Transit- More and more transit alternatives are being made available to the general public during this day and age with more routes, good pricing, and more destinations. By using transit you also take your part in preventing more greenhouse gasses from entering the earths atmosphere and by preventing traffic congestion.
5-Less Stress- Not having a car means less time in traffic, which eventually leads to less stress, and in some cases less road rage. Being stressed can lead to bad and in certain situations, life threatening altercations. Being in a calm manner can save you from going all out on your boss at work, or generally make you a happier person. I have seen to many stress related car accidents that lead to serious injury, sometimes death.
