Our son is 27 and has never had a car.  He's never wanted one.
He figured out from watching other people that cars require
a lot of care and feeding and he'd rather spend his (few)
dollars on other things.

I expect when he gets his doctorate and a real job that
this will change.  Maybe.  

But my point is not everyone even wants a car.  And
life is still good.  You can be an independent adult
without one.
