Jebus got it right and I already yielded to other's use of cars. For me,
it's mostly only a mile to the grocery store. I also limit other
shopping to within a few miles. I like Walmart but it's an 18 mile round
trip. For that reason only, I shop there once every 2 years or so.

You don't need to be so uppity which you certainly are lately. I'm
admittedly lower middle class. I have learned to live frugally and I
accept it. And I'm happy. I don't resent at all people that make more
money than I do. I would certainly never criticize the people that make
less than me. Any job is a good job, Janet.

I drive a company van, all expenses paid. That's a good company benefit
over working pay. I have full permission to use it personally too but I
don't abuse that privilege. My personal mileage is only a few gallons
of gas per month. For this reason, I don't own a car right now. I
seriously don't need one.
