  Commuting costs. “Work clothes”. Childcare. Its not just daily expenses, but expenses spread out over time.

  It’s all personal. But for me I only run the air conditioner for 3 months and normally not every day. I also run the heat for four. But all that plus electricity costs less than gas, tolls , car payment and car maintenance.

    Yeah, I think its all relative and depends on where you live. If you live in the south you can probably expect to pay for AC all day, probably 6-8 months of the year. As for car related, this is also all relative. If you have a car and it isnt used much for 15 months then I would expect the car to not start when you try.
