Your morning commute~

[HAULN-SS]

Right, that's my point. I can't buy around here on one income, so I sacrifice 2 hours of my day driving. I would probably still do that even if I COULD afford half a mil mortgage, because to me saving the money is worth more than saving the time. If i bought the same house around here, it'd probably cost 300k more. Also - for hours, i'd call it more like 3 * 200 = 600 hours. 600 hours times say...4 years that I stay there. = 2400 hours. So basically keeping the math simple, I'm paying myself 125$/hour to make the drive. Not including equity being built into the house.
