There is a big difference between life with a car and life without a car, isn’t there an old saying? It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. Although household expenses will inevitably increase after you have a car, the convenience it brings to you will also increase.

1. Increase in household expenses

Having a car is like having an extra child in the family, and all kinds of expenses are coming. It’s only 2,000 yuan a month, which is about the same as the cost of a child’s kindergarten. One semester is more than 10,000 yuan, which is more expensive than college tuition.

This kind of cost will continue to rise as the age of the vehicle increases. For example, the vehicle needs to be repaired accordingly, and the maintenance cost of the vehicle will be higher in the later stages.

2. Increase in the radius of life

Although buying a car will cost a lot of money and increase the cost of using the car, the most intuitive benefit that a car can bring to people is Increase in life radius.

For people, a 15-minute journey will feel very close, a 30-minute journey will be barely acceptable, and a 60-minute journey will not be willing to go. If it takes 60 minutes by bus, the living radius is only 30 kilometers at most. If you drive for 60 minutes, the living radius can reach 100 kilometers.

That is to say, the living radius after having a car is three times that before it was without a car. For surrounding tourism, it is even more possible to take a trip as long as you want.

3. Increased convenience of life

Having a car can help you get rid of the hard life, and you no longer have to be exposed to the sun, rain, wind and sun. Especially when encountering strong convective weather, I leave quietly just as I came quietly; I wave my sleeves and don’t take away a single cloud. ?

Like when all cities across the country encountered the new coronavirus in 2020, all cities across the country restricted out-of-home purchases. You can only go out once every three days. Having a car can not only reduce your risk of infection, but also help you achieve large-scale purchases of vegetables. If you can't carry the vegetables you bought at the market, you can throw them in the car and buy another batch. When I get home, I can lift it directly from the garage to my own kitchen, which is so convenient.

Do you think there is any difference between having a car and not having a car? Discussions welcome.
