Never owned a car, as my income increased considered getting one this summer as a luxury, mostly trips and stuff, but didn't have a license and it takes a couple of months to get one here. After thinking about it more I got myself a motorcycle - wanted to get one when I was younger but couldn't afford it - can still do trips, parking/mobility is better and I live in a place where I can ride 10 out of 12 months a year. Has been insanely fun so far although scary as well - an idea to consider if you're in this situation.
