Many people around me want to buy a car,some have had a car .When we get to work, I think we can take a bus or taxis .Sometimes it is not convenient for us to get to somewhere you want to .But if you own a car, you will be worried about finding a parking space .what is your opinion ?

to me, the key is not the necessity. but the money. if i have enough money to buy one car, and then if i'll have enough money to afford it on and on?
but now, my next goal is to buy a car. therefore, i must do my best to earn enough money. i believe when i have a car, it will bring me lots of convenience and other invisible use.

Here the public transportation is good, so I don't think it is very necessary to buy a car. Even if you can afford a car, but the cost to have a car is quite expensive. The increasing gas price, tax, repairmen charge and parking fee etc. And sometimes it is difficult to find a parking place.
I love China

Hello friend,
Parking space is just a small problem compared to having a car for more conevience.Having your own car is more convenient with travelling and even with the fare expenses,the time effort,and the convenient of rush hour.

Good day mickly08,
Well for me I think it is not necessary to buy a car, one of the main reason is the high cost of petroleum products, such as diesel and gasoline which we used in order for our car to run. Secondly because of the heavy traffic, I think it is more convenient to sit on a bus while having a traffic, you can make or take a nap, than sitting at your own car, you can't rest or sleep a little because you are the one who's driving (not unless if you get your own driver) .
God bless.
Happy MyLotting .

Let me relate a real life story to you: Once my wife asked whether we really needed a fax machine because we're not doing any kind of business. I told her that we should buy it as we never know when it would come in handy. Besides, it could double as a house phone. We bought it, and never regretted buying it because now we discovered that the fax machine is really useful when you need instant quotations, reports or letters sent out or sent to you... and we're both teachers, not some company secretaries.
The same thing applies to buying a car. Unless you can't afford at all, it's really convenient to buy one, even if it's a used one. You wouldn't want to be caught in the rain, and you wouldn't want miss the bus, would you? If you're worried about the parking space, you might want to leave your house early so that you could get a spot. If you can't avoid being late, then you have no choice but to park a little further and walk to your destination.
We can't have everything our way all the time :)
