Do I Drive

No. I do not drive. I do not have a license. Simply put…I do not like to drive, and I do not have the money to own a vehicle.

I walk almost everywhere. I usually grocery shop with my mother or my sister when they are already going. I pay for gas when needed to get to places. I have been known to take the city bu on occasion.

Walking is the best exercise. I run most of my errands this way, with no problem at all. It is cheaper for me to purchase a new pair of sneakers two or three times a year than it would be to maintain a vehicle.

Does anyone else not drive?

About Shannon Buck

Hello. My name is Shannon, and I am a single mother of two adult daughters. I work as a writer in my home in a small town in Maine and at an inn where I do housekeeping. Writing is my life, second only to my daughters. I enjoy writing nonfiction, as well as fiction. I write in many genres. At some point, I would like to travel. It would be a true writing adventure.

  1. Sadly no. I drive a car and ride a scooter. At least both are relatively fuel efficient but as you say not a patch versus the cost of footwear.

  2. Yes you do. There are also many poor models on the market. A good scooter should be capable of providing you with wind protection, high miles to the gallon and fun transport.

Brightest Blessings!

I hope to help as many people as possible to live more frugally, whether they have to or choose to.
I am a freelance writer and a housekeeper, bedmaker and in laundry at an inn. Most of my articles end up on eHow.com and GardeGuides.com, as well as a number of blogs, and elsewhere on the web. All of this keeps me pretty busy.
I like to try to save pennies wherever possible, incorporating sales, coupons and dollar stores into my shopping habits. It is my desire to help other to be more frugal.
Warmest Wishes
Shannon
