I was looking at my odometer this morning, and realized that in the 6 years that my wife & I have had this car, we've driven almost 90,000 miles, & yet I'm still in the exact same place, doing pretty much the exact same job at the same university.
So what have I gotten out of those 90,000 miles?
And just where the hell did I go?
At thirty cents a miles -- close to what the IRS will give you -- that's $27,000 in driving I've done; $4500 a year, though probably a good bit more than that in reality, taking into account all costs for the vehicle, cheap as it may be.
How many hungry villages would that feed? And to think I used to ride my bike all the time, and only took the car out once a week or so for the larger shopping excursions... .The lack of biking may also explain the expansion of my mid-section, though it's not too bad.
