Never poor, but I also didn't get a car until I was 32.

 

Damn, cant imagine that lol

 

I'm not even in my 30s yet and that sounds rough.

 

How'd you manage to travel around? Bus/Bike?

 

 

I learned how to drive when I was 13, got my license and my first car when I was 15.

Bike and public transit. Much easier to get around Amsterdam that way, it's a nightmare to find parking space. I got my license when I turned 18 as that's the minimum age in The Netherlands. They let people drive at 15? I rented a car when I needed one, or took a taxi.

When I moved to Canada I first lived across from a 24h supermarket, had a bike and my parents in law helped out for anything out of reach. It didn't take long to start looking for a car after moving though. Can't cycle here half the year and public transport is very poor. On the plus side, driving a car in Canada is a lot cheaper.
