"Not an arm and a leg unless you drive a lot."

I've been retired since 2003, so the only places I drive is to my doctor appointments, the grocery store once or twice a week, a visit every-now-and then to see my oldest son who lives 90 miles away, and once a year to visit my youngest son who lives in Indiana. I recently offered to visit my oldest son, but he asked if he could come here, because he works at home all week, and never gets to drive the new VW Tiguan he leased last fall. I leased for the first time in September of 2019, and only have about 5,000 miles on the car.

We're retired too and without a commute, our driving is almost nil. Our adult daughter lives 5 miles away from our farm.

I pity people with long commutes and/or those who have cars that aren't fuel efficient.

I spend more money on gas for my zero-turn lawnmower to mow 4 hours a week than I do on gas for my old pickup.
