#23: Owning a Car
The decline in car purchases by millennials can be attributed to various factors. With the rise of Uber, opting for rideshare services has become more convenient and often more economical than owning a car. The financial burdens of insurance, parking fees, and fuel only add to the allure of opting out of car ownership.
The trend leans towards embracing modes of transportation that promise easier access, minimal parking hassles, and no worry over theft or insurance – think shared rides and scooters. Moreover, their lesser environmental impact resonates with the millennial prioritization of sustainability, making them an attractive alternative to traditional car ownership.
