I've recently learnt about lifetraps and it's made a huge positive impact on how I view myself and my relationships

Cars are way more expensive than you think, and getting rid of it will make you happier and way wealthier.

I don't think it will make me happier to spend 1.5 hour in the bus and train instead of 20min by car.

Yeah, a lot of the in the Americas it's not the fact that we'd rather be in a car it's that our public transit options are just so non-competitive with driving by design that it makes no sense to ever use them from a time perspective if you can afford not to.

If you live somewhere like the Bay area where you've got the BART or Chicago with the L, you can 100% use public transit as your daily driver because it's actually faster then driving in most cases and you can read or do work while doing so... sadly this is not the case in most places. Takes me 15 minutes to drive into downtown, if I took the bus it would take me 2 and a half hours.

Yeah, I'm generally anti-car in urban areas, but the bus system where I used to live forced me to get a car to go to work (it would have taken like 2 hours 40 minutes and involve walking for a fair amount of that. each way.)
