It's easy to live without a car.

I've been doing it for 7 months now and I manage to get everywhere I need to be.

There are also advantages linked to this lifestyle:
😇 My mind is more worry-less. No need to think about car maintenance, insurance hassle after an accident, scratches,...
💡 My train rides allowed me to learn so much by reading and listening to podcasts. All while not having to worry about traffic
💰 The financial benefit of not owning a car is substantial

If you're living in a big city, there's no reason to still have one.

Is that sense of flexibility really worth the huge salary cut? The monthly parking cost? The search for a parking spot? The worries?

Yes, lockdown and homework are decreasing my need for a car. But that'll continue to be the case in this new normal way of living.

A sustainable way of living.
