He estimates that the average American spends about $700 a month to own a vehicle. But, if you invest that money over 30 years, at an annual 8% return, you'd be a millionaire. Or in the short term, say five years, you'd have more than $50,000. Whether you're doing it for financial or environmental reasons, it just seems to make sense.
