I’m making this work, sort of, in that I live in a one-bus-a-week village but swapped my car out 3yrs back for an electric moped.
Its so much cheaper and nice that a car isn’t lying around unused. I was ready to suck up the cost of hire cars/taxis but have maybe had 1 or 2 in that period.
Like you say, it has to work for you but I think most don’t realise how car ownership doesn’t have to be a thing
Oh, and the basic - don’t carry your cell phone/smart watch regardless of whether it’s switched off
