Downsizing to one car

Hi everyone!
We've got two cars now, but I'm thinking about selling my car and keep just DH's car. We live in semi-rural area , in small town. I work two days per week, in other town 10 miles away, there's bus service once per hour. Not fantastic, but ok-ish. In other days I run my cleanig business. Most of my customers are in my town, just two of them outside. DH starts work very early morning and he's home at the lunch time , so I can use his car in afternoons.

I use car to take my son to school, which is 1.5 mile away.

Do you think is doable? I admit car is useful, but it costs money.

    Why don't you try a week or preferably two, without it while you've still got it, just leave it where it's parked and see how you cope without it. That should tell you what it'll be like :)
