Financial Benefits
Car ownership can be expensive and transportation
is often the second largest expense in a household
budget. That is why one of the most compelling reasons
not to own a car is financial. To help you understand
how much you are really paying to drive, AAA annually
publishes a guide titled “Your Driving Costs.” For more
information on AAA’s guide, go to the Statewide
Resources in Chapter 5.
The cost of car ownership may vary depending on your
personal situation, including the number of cars in
your household, how old your vehicle is, or miles driven.
Complete the Car Cost Worksheet to calculate the
specific annual costs of owning your car.
