I work 2 miles from home and my wife either metros to DC or works at home - I drop her at the metro or she rides her scooter.
If she changes jobs the 1 car thing is much harder, although I can ride my bike to work and taking an uber when the weather is poor is a lot cheaper than owning a car. One thing that is tough is that I usually go home at lunchtime and walk the dogs and if I have to pay for a dog walker the 3 days a week they'll be alone for 10 hours then we start getting into car payment money.
Not having a 2nd car means I'm putting an extra $800/mo into my index funds this year.
And, I dont need a garage. I just want a place to tinker with my old motorcycles and my bicycles. But, JayRay dropped some wisdom on me the other day and said I cant own a convertible (i.e. Boxster) without a garage. Smart man (with a leaky Z3)
