      I mean I did the math for you.

      Not having a car where I’m from is abject poverty. The nearest store to me growing up was a gas station 3 miles away. Absolutely no public transport at all. You had to have a car to eat and to work or to do basically anything.

      My first 2 years of college I car pooled with a friend and worked by sharing a car with my parents. Eventually I saved up and could buy a used car that was a decade old
