Well it's liberating for both my finances and well-being. I do my best to minimize the number of ongoing monthly expenses that I can, and not having a car is the biggest savings for me which gives me more I can save or spend recklessly.

Car Insurance is a mandated subscription cost when owning or leasing a car, whereas transit you can choose between pay-as-you-go and subscription ("monthly passes"), and it costs way less. Biking is a one time purchase, with costs only if you want someone else to repair and tune it for you.
