I'm not the person you're responding to, but I'm in a very similar position (married professional, two incomes well above the Alberta median, no kids). We don't even own a car and have no desire to. I'd much, much, much rather spend that money on life experiences (specifically travel) instead. Also, we paid off our mortgage in full before we turned 40 specifically because we saved so much money from not having to worry about car payments, gas, insurance, parking, repairs, routine vehicle maintenance, etc., etc., etc. Owning a car is expensive and really not worth it if you live in a walkable community where it's convenient to commute via foot, bike, or public transit.
