Trade offs. Everyone has a different situation, but for most people in the world $5000 in a car would enable so many different things they can do that it is worth it (or would be worth it if they could find that $5000 in the first place - for many if they had a car they could earn more than $5000 to pay for it, but lacking the $5000 to get the car in the first place they can't earn enough to buy it)

In what world does owning a car earn you 5000$ per year? A car is literally just an expense

>>amroch+mf
In any world where you use a car to get to work.

Using transit to get to work will save you thousands of dollars spent on a car

>>amroch+Ob1
Maybe. If there is transit, but most places don't have good transit options. Not just the us either.

>>bluGil+FL1
Wrong. Most people don't have cars and can get to work just fine. Yes, even in the US.
