What if you asked questions instead of making assumptions? See my other comment.

Novel idea. Thanks for not being crazy lol. I’m road tripping with my family right now so Reddit does not have my full attention.

Oh yeah, no worries! There are just plenty of sane reasons that higher earners don’t need to own cars. :)

We just bought a brand new van and made sure to do the finances with trade in and down payment to make it around $300/mo. Not opposed to car payments but man do I hate tying up income in rigid expenses. Something about that $500 mark (or half of one thousand in my eyes) is just so unappealing haha

Absolutely. And here in Seattle that probably means $1000 total cost for a $500 payment.
