I did the same except I went a step further and saved monthly what I estimated having a car cost me (monthly payment, gas, insurance, up-keep etc.). This was a great incentive watching the account grow (with interest)especially when I was riding my bike in the rain but I knew I was going to someday buy my car with CASH and had NO monthly payments! I started saving this way at 17 years ol and then bought my first car (paid in full) when I was only 20. Not bad! Hope this input helps someone! Great advice!

Car-less is the way to go at College! My husband and I are 29 and 32, respectively and choose to have one car. It totally simplifies our lives in so many aspects. Niether of us had a car in college. Even with the car we bike, walk, and bus as much as possible. I couldn’t agree more! Car-less is the way to go at College! My husband and I are 29 and 32, respectively and choose to have one car.
