Unless you live, work, and play in your own neighborhood and never venture outside of it, chances are you own a car or a truck. However, traveling via personal automobile is one of the least efficient ways one can get around – but what are the alternatives? While gas is not currently at an all time high, it is still expensive.

The only food available was at gas stations and drive-throughs. Based on the sweating while there and the slight soreness the next day, shelving books is a way better work-out than neighborhood walking! My husband and I don’t have any travel plans until the very end of September, so I won’t have any excuses to slack off from that.

We then looked at how much each item in that group cost us; gas, property and car insurance, maintenance, etc. On average, we spend more than $1,000/month on our vehicles, and that’s just to get to and from work. 400/month gas for truck. 130/month gas for car. We can carpool at least 2-3 times per week to work.

Unless you work from home, and your commute consists of walking downstairs (like mine does), you likely spend between five minutes and an hour or more getting to your workplace. If you drive your own car, you probably have to pay for gas. If you have to miss work due to injury, you might miss out on that paycheck. Valuable Time.

When I am travelling, I am often hungry; I think it’s because of all of the walking I do to and from different attractions. After all, you’ve got to eat!

The more money you spend locally, the more local jobs there will be, even if the company they work for has its headquarters elsewhere. You do not have to travel in order to source what you need; you have it right there, close to where you live. Convenience is a big benefit of buying local. Shopping locally also helps the environment.

So, instead of trying to cram my hubby, my grandson, myself and all of our travel things into my little Toyota Camry Solara (read that convertible with very little trunk space), I’m looking for a mid-sized SUV to rent for a couple of weeks. A full sized car would actually work well, except that the seats would be too low for my spouse.
