It’s optional to buy new gpus and games that require them.

It’s optional not to buy a car but it certainly limits your access to things.

Limits your access to impound lots and repo men.

Jobs, social activities, entertainment, groceries, non-emergency medical care.

Don’t get me wrong, cars are a shitty necessity to have, but they are a necessity in some places.

If you want to argue that society should change so this isn’t true, I’m right there with you, but it’s not the reality of now.

I lived well into my 30s without a car. Saved me enough money to buy a house. Not a down payment. buy.

So I’m going to check first, you understand that there are jobs and/or situations that require a car right ?

I’d add that “requirement” is relative. My city’s bus system has stops near enough to cover my home and work, so you could say a car is not required for the route. However, using the bus system would turn my 20 minute (10 minutes one way) daily commute into 3 hours. That’s just too impractical to consider.
