I still keep my independence, in my mind, and yet my DD still takes my to the Docs or whatever. In an emergency, I would not hesitate to jump in my minivan and drive, with or without a license. 
So, Kelly, my advise to you is to keep your car and license forever. You don't have to drive, but you can if you want.  It's called independence and it makes you feel good. 
P.S I'm glad you didn't say "a 70 year old little grumpy grandma". |
70's not old (in my book), Sally! Isn't it the new 40?
I don't have my car anymore. I sold it almost a year ago. Didn't make anything off it because I still owed money on it but the dealership had someone that wanted to buy it so I broke even. The payment, insurance and upkeep expenses were just too much on my new budget. I think if I had a car that was paid for and only had to have liability insurance I might could swing it. I won't lie......I would really like to have some form of transportation. I do feel "stuck" here without a car but if I had one at my disposal I'd probably use it all of once a week. And sometimes not even that.
I do still have my driver's license and it's good until 2016.
