I'm 46, the parts of my life where I haven't needed to use a car every day have been great for my physical and mental health ... now I live too far from work I use a little 125 motorbike to commute, and it's still much nicer than having to take a car. When I am forced to take a car, the one I have is small and economical.
I didn't start figuring this out until I was 30, maybe you need a few more years to mature enough to throw off the consumerist mindset?
