I discussed this thread with my 31-year-old daughter, and she believes the three major reasons for lack of interest in driving are:
High car prices
High fuel prices
Environmental concerns
With the advent of delivered fast food, groceries, packages,..basically everything. Why endure the expense of insurance, tag renewal, maintenance, etc? It's cheaper to call a Lyft driver to take you places.
Agree with above
Exactly what my son voiced, "After your house, your car is the biggest expense you have, and you only use it 1-2 hrs per day"
And with a new car costing $50-100k, maybe it is money better spent elsewhere
Exaggerate much?
No need to spend that kind of money on a new car, unless your self esteem is based on how much you spent on a new car. Or were never taught anything about money, budgets and needs versus wants.
My son's lack of interest in driving has nothing to do with the price of a car, it's my car and it's paid off. The price of fuel, I fill the tank. Nor is he brainwashed by the environmental whackadoos.
He's just not interested.
