I recently moved out of new york to new jersey. don't have a car.

my options now are either buy a car, pay insurance, maintenance etc. north $1,500/mo for the convenience of going to the grocery store or, get a subscription for all these services ~ $200/mo. and save myself the time spent back and forth doing grocery shopping. I cook 90% of my food.

not all solutions involve owning a car.

You can't afford a bike?

Huh? Decent car payment at $300-500/month, insurance at $200/month, and I'm wondering what $1,000/month of car "maintenance" looks like, considering $250/month will get you a full tank of a gas a week.

parking is another $200.

not to mention the tolls.

my point is, ~$1500 is grocery for a month for us. why would i spend that much on just a car?
