Cars are now a family necessity, and many young people who have graduated from college have bought them after just a year or two of work. With a car, commuting to and from work will be much more convenient, and when it comes to the holidays, you can also take a trip that you can walk away. Life after buying a car looks very comfortable, but why do some people regret it after buying a car? With a car and without a car, how big is the gap?
Advantages of buying a car
1. The happiness index is improved. With a car, it becomes easier to get around, and you can drive directly wherever you want. In such a cold weather as winter, there is no longer a need to wait for the bus in the cold wind, and there is no need to compete with other people for seats.
2. Save time. Driving yourself to work and taking the bus to work are not the same time, you can drive yourself to the company faster, and you don't have to worry about missing the bus, resulting in being late for work. When traveling long distances, it is also faster to drive yourself than to take a train or bus.
3, if your home is in the countryside, and the traffic is not convenient, it will be more convenient to go out if you have a car. If someone in the family is sick, it is not easy to find a doctor in the middle of the night, you can also drive to the hospital for examination.
The gap after buying a car
Many people feel that after buying a car, their lives have also undergone earth-shaking changes and their happiness has also improved. However, some car owners feel that their quality of life has declined after having a car, and they can often party with friends when they do not have a car, but now they dare not go to the party.
Because many people are loan-buying cars, they have to pay back two or three thousand car loans every month. And every month to refuel the car, wash the car, maintenance, if there is a violation of the law, you have to pay a fine. His monthly salary is only more than 5,000, deducting the car loan and then deducting the cost of maintaining the car, there is little left in the salary, and he does not dare to participate in these social interactions.
The car is still a "consumable", and the parts on the car need to be replaced after a certain mileage. Generally, you can check the spark plug by driving 10,000 or 20,000 kilometers, and if the spark plug is abnormal, it must be replaced in time. After driving 30,000 kilometers, you have to check the brake pads, the thickness of the brake pads is less than 1/3 of the original thickness, you have to replace the brake pads, and replacing these parts is another expense.
The benefits of not having a car
It is true that no car is not as convenient as having a car, and there is no way to achieve a walk-and-go trip. But now that public transportation is so developed and ride-hailing is also very common, you can take a taxi wherever you want.
There is no car and no need to repay the car loan, the economic pressure is also small, in addition to paying the rent or repaying the mortgage, it can be used for social interaction, and there is no trouble with these cars.
In fact, on the whole, the difference between having a car and not having a car is very large, and for people who have actual car needs or often need to travel to other places, it will be very inconvenient to have no car. They can only choose to take a plane or a train to travel, but these public transportation vehicles are fixed-point operations, and they can't do whatever they want.
With a car, you can set the travel time according to your own plan, don't have to leave a day or two in advance, and stay at home for a few more days.
But for people who don't have a car need, buying a car has to spend money on maintenance. In addition to increasing expenses, the car does not have much practical significance for itself. In a situation like this, it is better not to buy a car.
