Put the brakes on your car habit

Adeney evades the expensive cost of car ownership by cycling around his hometown of Longmont, Colorado, where possible. Even if you do own a car, he advocates being judicious about where you take it.  "Paying for parking is a sign from God that you're in an area not designed for a car," he says. "You are fighting the design of your city."

According to the 2016 Transport Affordability Index Report by the Australian Automotive Association, a  typical two-car Sydney household faces weekly transport costs of $424 – or $22,050 a year – ahead of Brisbane and then Melbourne at $19,409 and $18,575 a year respectively. Think about improving your health and wealth by car pooling, using public transport, cycling or walking where possible.

Was it skewed positive, or whiny?

Good basic overview!  It was interesting seeing an Aus perspective. Holy crap the transport costs! The food report linked in the article was super interesting as well.
