Things I have learned from not having a car

1. Nothing gets you back on your feet faster than not having a car
2. Everything is within walking distance if you have the time, a bottle of water, and a towel
3. Never buy more than what you can carry at the grocery stores
4. Addendum to rule #3: Don't wait until you have to buy more than what you can carry at the grocery stores
5. Public transportation may take more time, but gives you more time to do stuff too durig the commue
6. Public transportation teaches you to (a) manage time better, (b) socialize with with fellow passengers
