[quote=Anonymous]We had two cars but just before COVID got into an accident and totaled one of them. We never replaced it because there was nowhere to drive. We were discussing the other day whether we should buy another car with school starting and some return to the office planned. I really don't want to because I have enjoyed the simplicity and savings of having only one car, though we can afford to have two. Here is our situation:

-I will be working at home indefinitely
-Spouse will be working from home 2-3 days/wk and 2/3 days in office that is 30 minute commute
-Kids both go to the same school
-We are in the suburbs near the end of a metro line, not really close to a bus route but there is Lyft and Uber

I think it would require some planning but would be doable. The only hiccups I could see would be that if a kid has to come from school early because they are sick, etc. on a day my spouse was in the office, my spouse would have to leave work and bring them home since I would be home without a car. I also worry what would happen if the car broke down. But these seem like not good enough reasons to spend money on a second car. The reality is that with one person working at home everyday and the other working from home half time, a second car would really not be used most days.

Thoughts?
