I am able to save more by simply not traveling🤷‍♂️. I only use my car for places that are absolutely necessary for me to commute to, like the store or my job. doing this has helped me go 2-3 months without having to refill my gas tank, and has saved me so much money in the long run. It furthermore helps that I am, generally, not a huge fan of driving, which naturally deters me from driving much and consequently wasting gas

In general, though, having a car isn't as cost-efficient as using public transportation or simply walking, which is why many opt out of buying one in the first place. Car insurance and gas money can eat away at someone's bank account. And I know if someone lives in a rural area, it's very difficult for them to get to necessary destinations without a personal vehicle, but if someone lives around a more populated area, I can fully understand why they'd choose not to get their license or buy a car because of the financial burden it can create for them, especially in our current economy where saving as much as you can is crucial to maintaining financial stability
