    A lot of things could go there i guess haha, here’s some things I’m thinking of at this moment:

    1. a dishwasher. I will never go back this is the best invention humans created since the wheel
    2. AC. Same as above it changed my life
    3. keybar. This is a nice tool to manage keys and some other tools in a swiss-army like format.
    4. a good usb-c docking station. I need to jungle between multiple laptops for work, this really helped doing that.
    5. Going full public transit, bike and carsharing (communauto). Less traffic, and between these options it’s rarely more difficult than a car. And muchhhh cheaper, with gas, maintenance, taxes and depreciation it’s a bit crazy how much you put towards a car. It really helps to live comfortably with my budget.

      No car/public transit was going to be my answer too. Sold my car about 9 years ago and switched to using the bus, carpool, or walking. At first it was a financial decision because I figured it would save me lots of money, and it did. I was surprised though how much more connected to the community I felt. I made friends and talked to people on my commute instead of sitting alone in the car. It also makes me feel more free to move around the city instead of just going from point A to point B and then home again.

        Walking/biking is really the best for this, I feel like i live in a city with a community instead of living in disconnected “places”.

      AC also changed my life. My doctor thought I was dehydrated, but I also had symptoms of over-hydration. Not only did everything about my time at home improve significantly, but I also started sleeping better than I ever had in my life.

      a bit crazy how much you put towards a car

      Recently these numbers are hitting over 1k usd pretty easily… i don’t know how this is sustainable longer term as most young people’s income are too low for rent and student loans as is.

      How are these people supposed to get to work? I guess boomers did always say you can’t drive a house but you can sleep in a car…
