Total direct and indirect cost: $180 to $240 or so. If saving money on shopping is the prime motive for travelling to the city, you'd have to spend a thousand dollars or more to come out even. OTOH, since we do have to go to the city for serviceswe can't get here, adding a shopping excursion reduces the cost of the trip.There are real advantages to being retired -- my time is worth NOTHING.To me, it's worth more than ever. Because there isn't that much of it left.Given that I run cars into the ground and I bought the Corolla on the assumption that maintenance costs would be negligible, all it costs me to go shopping is ~15 centsUS/mile. My shopping trip may be a 20-mile round trip (if I include Costco, no more often than once a monh), and I don't do this more than once a week, if that.There are real advantages to living in pretty places, though, and I wish I did :-(Commuting to work and shopping the conurbations may cost a couple of hours or more per day. That's why we use transit when we visit Toronto: you can catch up on your reading, or even have a conversation with your travelling companion. :-)
Conurbation -- now THAT's a word I had to look up! Sounds like Houston, TX. _______________________________________________ general mailing list general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/general
