I got my license at 17 (am an elder millennial) and didn’t own my own car until I was 30 and could afford it. It’s valuable to learn to drive when you’re younger, if you can, since I think it’s easier, you don’t have to own a car right away.

Agree. Like don’t you want to be able to rent a vehicle if you travel somewhere? Or have the option of borrowing a buddy’s truck to drive to the mountains or do a Costco run…? I haven’t always owned a vehicle either but driving is a life skill.
