Retirement Transportation

Second on our hit list of high expenses in retirement is transportation. Choosing a reliable, safe, and inexpensive car becomes easier every year.

There are plenty of options for inexpensive cars to choose from, Honda and Toyota being prime examples of cars which are easy on the pocket, and have great repair records and resale values.

Without the snow and ice of harsh winters, cars last a lot longer and need less maintenance in North Carolina and South Carolina, however with owing your own car, you’ll have the extra costs of insurance, gas, and repairs.

If you’re of the mindset, you may consider doing without a car, and living in a city or in an area with good public transportation. Be sure to check out the location of the services you will need in proximity to your home.  Many cities offer senior car services for as little as $5.00 a day or you may find living in a downtown and walking to the local market perfect for your lifestyle in retirement.

Remember, if you were to live in a city, you’ll need to compare the increased cost of housing and public transportation with those of owning a car.
