Picked the $30 bus pass over a $300 car repair this month

My car needed new brakes but I found a city bus route that gets me to work for way less. It adds 20 minutes each way but saved me $270 upfront. Anyone else ditch their car for a bit to fix a budget hole?

Wait, did you mean you saved $270? The math seems off if the pass was $30 and the repair was $300. That's a $270 difference, not $300. Still a great call though, that's a solid chunk of change to keep in your pocket. Smart move to find a workaround when money's tight.

Yeah, the math was a bit off but still a win.

Gotta love when the math police show up, thanks @sam17. Still saved enough for a nice dinner out!
