if you only want a car to see friends i would say no, if you need it as a backup to make sure you get to work on time when the t inevitably fails you then yes

Thanks. I was thinking of getting a car for friends, groceries, trips outside of the city. A car is part of the plan, but realistically I'll be living in Brighton for a bit and relying on public transit. These comments are helping me to understand I can do it :)

Using Zipcar, Uber/Lyft/taxi, grocery delivery will all be cheaper than a car. Not sure where you want to go, but the commuter rail gives you access to lots of places outside the city. Just takes a bit more planning than having a car, but very possible.
