I drive a truck for work; the radio is absolutely a lifeline for me. Usually just local weather/traffic updates for whatever city I’m passing through, maybe the news if I stumble upon an NPR station in time for All Things Considered. I stick to my music/audiobooks all other times though.

Unless I’m passing through home. Listening to my hometown stations helps me get out of “work mode” at the end of my rotation.

Also, car shifter boots.

I’m in my late 20s. I live in rural Texas, but I’ve got friends all over this hemisphere. Only one of my friends ‘owns’ a house, and at the moment, he’s only been able to afford it by renting out all the spare bedrooms. I don’t know how he managed to scrape together a down payment. Everyone else I know is renting.

edit: plenty of my family members have houses, some even paid off, but I cut contact with nearly all of them years ago.

My mother did, a few years ago. She won’t tell me the offer she got (aside from it being “a lot” higher than what she’d initially paid, but I don’t know that price either), but she regrets it, now that she’s seen what her house was later re-sold for.
