How do people afford sending their kids there?

Let’s stay on topic with this thread. The discussion about driving old cars has been moved to its own thread.

What’s the longest you’ve driven a car?

Are we related? My current main vehicle is about to turn 20. I bought it 4 years old and have had it ever since. During the time I’ve owned this van, I’ve towed 3 other cars to the junk yard to collect my ~$300 salvage fee. The van is running on a ghost of its better days, and I’m thiiiiiiiissss close to replacing it. The only thing stopping me is I haven’t gotten a new vehicle without experiencing the death of a current vehicle. And because the van hasn’t died yet, the voice in the back of my head keeps whispering, “it might last till November 2022. Do you really want to give up all that free driving?”
