You are not forced to drive, nor are you forced to drive an SUV. You can choose to live closer to work, near public transit, etc. The $500 you’re saving on rent or mortgage living further from work is just funding your death machine anyway.

Considering the car bill is 126 a month and gas is about 50 every two weeks? The extra 500 I save going toward my own mortgage rather than going 100% into the pocket of a landlord is going much further than you think.

Why not buy near work rather than rent?
