Is owning a car really worth it? This episode is about the financial and lifestyle benefits of deliberately choosing not to own a car (I'm in my early 40s and I've never owned one). Topics covered include:

• Why owning a car is often a waste of money
• The health and lifestyle benefits of living car free, especially walking and cycling
• Alternatives to car ownership including car clubs, peer-to-peer transport (e.g. Uber and Lyft), public transport
• The problem of car dependency and why it exists

• Suggestions for how to live car free
