1. I can use the ride to drink coffee and wake up, so I wake later and am more productive through the day. Plus I can use the time to generally relax, listen to music, listen to a book, read news, and so on.

2. I spend zero time at gas stations, washing the car, servicing it, warming it up, changing to winter tires, or cleaning the windshield off. I also spend zero time doing driveway snow removal in the winter.

3. I have to find parking with my own car.

4. I am more likely to use my feet as my primary mode of transportation. This means I am less likely to need to schedule separate exercise time. And I can still listen to music, news, or an audiobook.

5. Because it saves money, budgeting is a little easier (especially if you are poor) because you aren't as tight.
