[quote=Anonymous]We actually traded in a small house for a larger house and longer commute and it’s the best thing we ever did. There were a couple of key factors to that working out. Our 2 kids were old enough to no longer need after care so there wasn’t that stress of needing to get to pick up by a certain time. Neither DH nor I go in to the office every day, he goes in 1x a week and I go 3x a week, and we stagger our in office days so someone is generally always home. Both of us have a good tolerance for driving. I throw on a podcast and I’m just in my own little bubble for 60-90 minutes. Both of us have flexible schedules, there is no mandatory you need to be at your desk from 9-5. I go in earlier so I can leave earlier and miss some of the am traffic, and DH tends to go in later to miss the traffic on both ends. We are not true city or city suburb people, we enjoyed it when we were younger but living in an area that is quieter and less dense has made us so much happier. [/quote]
