Quick Tips

  1. High monthly costs – Keeping a car can cost you well over $1,000 per month with monthly lease payments, gas, insurance, maintenance, etc. Thankfully, there are many alternatives to owning a car.
  2. Man power – If you’re willing to brave the elements and get around Flintstone-style, consider a bike or your own two feet. Just be sure to factor weather and hygiene into the equation.
  3. Carpooling – With sites like iCarpool and CarpoolConnect, finding someone to go to work with has just gotten a lot easier. ‘Poolin’ can cut down transportation costs and is environmentally friendly.
  4. Public transportation – Depending upon the city you’re living in, public transportation might not only be cheaper than owning a car, but also faster, as well.
  5. Short-term borrowing – For weekend trips, consider renting a car. If you only need to use a whip for a few hours, consider asking a friend or getting a Zipcar membership.

We’ve often talked about online dating, but let me be the first to point out the elephant in the computer lab when you’re cruising the corridors of eHarmony—you’re concerned that, logically speaking, anyone else on the site must be just as unhygienic, awkward, and depressed as you are.

It’s the same routine many of us go through every morning: Wake up, shower, get dressed, force down some juice and a few cereal straws. Get to the front door and tick through the mental checklist:

Wallet? Check. Keys? Check. Cell box? Check. Do I need an umbrella today? Hmm...
