    I mean insurance? You can easily spend 167 a month just on insurance And if you have a car payment then you’re definitely spending over that

    Whether you drive it or not those fees are still there

      They said it was $2000/yr, then mentioned insurance and other things on top of that. And then mentioned that cost also didn’t include gas. I’m guessing car payment.

      I have four paid-off vehicles (minivan, crossover, and two motorcycles), and full coverage insurance for all of them is ~$152/mo. Granted, I have a large family and, outside of school busses, there is zero public transportation and no way to ride a bike to and from work.

      This did get me thinking though. One of my motorcycles is only 49cc, so I have to find alternative routes sometimes, which really shows the inadequacy of our road system. If a fully-licensed, registered, and insured motorcycle can’t get me to work and back without taking back roads that increase my commute time from 12 minutes (car) to almost 30 minutes - what good is it to have at all, you know?
