The pandemic taught us that we can live with less. Many of us have maintained that life, while many jumped right back into the hustle and bustle.

My biggest impact has been not needing to jump on a flight to relax. I can drive to a neighboring city, stay in a hotel there, and have a very similar experience.

I live in So-Cal so I do need a car :/

I recently found work close to home so I don't have to drive far and I walk my kids to school when I don't work.
