I guess it depends if your family lives within 15 min. walk to some stores, services, park, safe routes for cycling and transit. That’s the benchmark used in the urban planning world for liveable neighbourhoods.

I’ve been car-free for most of my life…past 45 yrs. I didn’t like driving and gave up license when I was 21 yrs. I’ve been cycling as part of my lifestyle for past 31 yrs. In winter it’s transit, walking.

Grocery shopping includes a few key large ethnic supermarkets which are more cost-effective than same ingredients at a hipster store.

We do a prepaid plan from TMO, just over $30/month for two lines with unlimited talk and text & 3GB data each. We bought our phones outright and brought them onboard. I’ve been very happy with it and we save so much over a traditional phone plan.

Although it’s no longer a possibility for me due to moving further away from work, I lived without a car for several years and walked/biked/used public transit. It was great for fitness and the budget!

We’ve stayed in the 900 sq. ft. “starter home” my hubby bought in 2013. The mortgage is under $500 with property taxes and home insurance included. Utilities are fairly inexpensive as well.

I use the library for books, DVDs, eBooks/eAudiobooks, etc…saves so much money!

I have been pescatarian for over 8 years. Good for the budget, better for the environment, fantastic for animal welfare, and excellent for health.

So many other companies that INCLUDE 4G and 5G for $15/mo. Seriously check out mint they are on TMO. Although, I’m with you, when I was on wifi only it didn’t seem that bad. Almost everywhere you go there is wifi.

In reply to Paul. Yup, still with them! But when they moved to DISH it got all sorts of wonky and my wife couldn’t take it anymore so she switched to T-Mobile too, lol… She now pays 3x what I do (!!), however her calls and texts go through seamlessly now while mine like to disappear 😂
