If you're ready to take the plunge of letting go of the convenience and privacy along with the cost, pollution, and upkeep of a car, carsharing.net might help. Car sharing services that are like rental places for your local driving are popping up in more and more places. And, the more people use them, the more likely it is that one will pop up near all of us.

You can check out carsharing.net for a list of all the cities in the world that have a carsharing service here.

And if you're still not on board, try this car cost calculator to see how much you spend on your car every year and how to put that money to good use elsewhere. After all, the average American spends 17% of his/her income on a car--that's the second highest percentage behind paying rent or a mortgage.
