If you are a DINK household, do you drive 2 cars?

Anonymous
Why?

DH and I currently share a car as we do not want an extra car payment.

How can you share a car? Weird.

Before we had kids we still needed two cars.

3. His, mine, and a sports car for fun. We like cars.

Yes. We already had two cars when we moved here.

Will probably keep two cars, a smaller fuel efficient car (or hybrid or electric) and a four wheel drive SUV or wagon.

Uh, yeah. If you're double income, won't both of you need transportation during the work day eventually?

We don't own any cars.

"Transportation" doesn't have to equal "car."

We did because we had the cars before we got married and saw no reason to consolidate. Mine was paid off, his payment was just 100 a month. But then I totaled my car and we didn’t get another. In fact we just barely became a two car family, and the kids are 13 and 9. I don’t like car payments either, OP.

We have always had to cars because we’ve always lived places where we each needed a car during the day. We also both grew up in suburban, car-dependent areas so this feels normal to us.

Uh, one for me to get to work and run independent errands etc, and one for DH to get to work etc. How is that difficult to understand?

Two cars because we’re two independent people who both need to go places, sometimes even at the same time.

Yes have 2 luxury SUVs. No car payments. We only pay cash for cars.

Yes because we live in the suburbs and drive opposite directions to our respective jobs. No car payments though, we bought used cars we could pay cash for.

I don't have the ability to share a car with anyone. When I am ready to leave in ready to leave. We both had opposite commutes ore kids. I hate the idea of being stranded or having to wait for a ride.
