from Living in Australia

In this episode, we break down the true cost of owning a car in Australia—and compare it with life without one.

We also explore alternatives like public transport, car sharing, and ride-hailing, and who they make sense for. Whether you live in the city or the suburbs, this episode helps you decide which option best fits your lifestyle, budget, and long-term financial goals.
