[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd probably think about it, but we didn't buy a car until our late 30s. We got a used car from my parents for college graduation, and my in-laws gave us their old car as a present when we had a kid.

We come from generous parents, and I'd try to pass that along.[/quote]

Many take train and bus until save enough to buy car and teaches life choices about where to live and how to live. OP teaching live beyond means and parents will cover difference.[/quote]

Yeah, I took the bus for years, then literally walked everywhere for months before I could buy my own car when I got a job in a rural area with cheap rent. I walked 20 mins to buy groceries. All these "walking to school uphill in the snow" type stories sound like stupid legends to kids, but they are real and character-building. I worry sometimes that a lot of young people (and I include my own kids who have it SO much easier than I did) do not have these resilience stories. I know sheltered adults who don't have them, keep getting parental help into their 40s, and the difference in how they treat people and life and responsibilities is obvious.[/quote]
