Teens are procrastinating getting Drivers licenses VOL. they BROKE

Gas isn't the only thing you're paying for when driving your own car.

The car note, insurance, repairs, paying to park, license plate sticker, city sticker, parking tickets

Who implied gas was the only expense?

The person you quoted and agreed with mentioned Lyft not being cheaper than owning a car due to how much a ride is vs gas costs

He said HIS parents didn't make HIM pay for insurance/inspections, so he acknowledges other expenses exist.

I was a lazy teen too but my parents made me take driving classes. Got my license at 16. Parents bought me my first car. Crashed it on the freeway like 6 months later lol.

I couldn't wait to get my licence when I was a teen.

Facts

 

[fluid hips]

Being a car guy, I couldn't wait to get my license as a kid

I grew up on Initial D

 

[stuntman mike]

i been letting my son sit in my lap and drive (steer) in parking lots since he was 3
he's only 6 now but by the time he's old enough, self-driving cars will probably be pretty widespread. things will definitely be different in 15 years.

Parents are letting their teenage kids take Uber/Lyft? I'd be terrified if I am a parent.

Right. That’s the new generation of parenting and why I said what I said before. When I was growing up you never spoke to strangers. Now we have our kids getting in cars with complete strangers? Unbelievable

Yet, at the same time I am not surprised. I see more and more teens who are not old enough to work at Baskin Robbins, wearing designer brand and $500+ sneakers.

Parents let their middle school age kids take uber. My friend drove for uber and lyft and said young kids would be getting rides. He makes them call their parents and he talks to them.

Pretty sure their parents are buying them or they are borrowing from their parents or siblings

Back in my high schools days cats were selling candy, snacks out the box to buy fresh gear. Not everyone were fortunate to have rich parents. But the hustle was definitely real amongst the sneaker head crowd.

Right, but back in those days it only went as far as $150 Jordans (for the most part).

man...i envy old guys that could weld, and do body work, or even cut hair and learned it from a early age.

with skills like those you'll never be poor.

I tell people to get into plumbling because da technology in that field does not advance and turn obsolete as rapidly as everything else.

 

[stuntman mike]

my uncle put his two daughters through USC and they had a bigass house and nice cars. he was a plumber and instead of going to college, his son became a plumber and took over the business. he has a big house and goes fishing all the time. his kids are in private school too.

 

[gentrification]

Didn't get my L s till I was 18 but drove illegally starting at 16. These kids are squares.

 

[alchemist iq]

Plumbers and electricians get big bucks.
Great trade if college isn’t the route for some people.

 

[mplsdunk]

Your math game has to be on point to be an electrician. But yeah they make money.

I know a company here that’s training inexperienced pipe fitters and starting them at like 25 an hour to learn and I think they make 55 an hour or so at full scale with all types of fringe benefits.

 

[agentorange]

I was embarrassed when I was a senior in high school and didn’t have a license. When she tell you “pick me up” and you couldn’t drive yet and had to have the homie 3rd wheel lmao.

But I know some dudes who didn’t learn how to drive until they were 22/23 like bruh cmon.

I am one of those people. I live and grew up in NYC though.
