<prompt> Human: Hey guys! I just landed my first job and found a good apartment.I dont really want a car, the areas that I need to travel to are all within walking range. Also, Ill be working remotely. The extra responsibility doesnt seem worth it to me. My parents really really want me to own a car. Thoughts?Mainly looking for pros and cons of owning a car and possible hazards.Edit: I think my main reason for asking aside from the pros and cons, was just to be totally sure that I wasnt missing out on something super beneficial by owning a car. Edit 2: the other reason why I asked is because Im getting harassed by my parents about how Im going to die and get trafficked and get shot if I dont own a car. It was beginning to make me anxious :D Edit 3: holy faq this blew up more than I expected while I was sleeping! Thank you all for your comments and advise. I am reading and replying at this moment!  <response>: Leasing is usually a mistake. Parking, insurance, service and gas while you dont need a car are not worth it. Save your money. If you need to take a trip or even bring a large purchase home, rent a car or truck.
