BeUnique@lemmy.zip 6 days agoI’m happy you found cool stuff to do but the investment is expensive… I see an electric vehicle, a kayak, and an electric bike. That’s thousands for the bike alone… Oh and that skate park requires a skateboard. Last I checked that’s a few hundred dollars.
There are cheaper ways to do what you’re doing of course but there’s also storage concerns. Not many people that are worried about their finances have space to store an entire kayak…
I appreciate you trying to get it, but it’s pretty obvious that you don’t.

It’s weird that you don’t see your regular gasoline car that yall americans have as an expensive investment.
Also, no way a cheapest ebike is thousands of bucks. I bet you can get one for the price of a couple of months of gas. Or get an acoustic one even cheaper, it will be better for your health.
Also also no way a cheap skate is hundreds.

In many areas, a car is required. To get to work is an hour bike ride each way and there are NO sidewalks or bike lanes. Even with gas and insurance, it’s safer to have a vehicle so you don’t lose your job.
Many employers will not hire you without a car for transportation, it’s a fact in the US.

Oh, I know that, and my heart goes out to y’all. However, there is no requirement that it will have to be a gasoline car.

I paid $5,500 for my car 12 years ago. If they start selling EV’s for under $10k with less than 100k on them, it would be a possibility. Otherwise, most of us cannot afford it.
