About This Book
How to Live Well without Owning a Car suggests taking a car-free path through life. Believe it or not, you can live a full, active life without owning a car. And without a car, it is easier to get out of debt, save money and achieve financial freedom.
You do not need to own a car. There’s no doubt that cars, trucks and SUVs are useful tools—and fun to own and drive. They provide instant, on-demand transportation at a moment’s notice. They can haul heavy loads and help you run errands. And they can whisk you out of town for a weekend away. This book does not suggest that you never use a car or never ride in one. Instead it argues that millions of Americans can get along just fine and save a fortune by not owning a car. When you do need one you can rent or use car sharing.
Living car-free in America is not difficult, but it does require some small lifestyle changes outlined step by step. If you do not wish to get rid of your car entirely, the book suggests ways to save money by using your car less.
