As someone more than twice your age, let me share with you that the best decision I ever made for myself and my family was to work very close to home. Making that a priority meant working late wasn't a big deal, I had time for the gym, I could get to my sons athletic practices and games. I didn't have to spend $$$$ commuting or hours battling traffic. A no commute lifestyle gives you time to live your life. Go for it no matter what it costs in dollars.


+100. Amen.

Try to ditch the commute. Live more frugally. The expensive car, lavish house, lavish furniture----all meaningless.

75+ hours per week of work and commute? It's not worth it.
