[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work full time in an office, but make double your salary.  If you could make a lot more just by commuting, do it!![/quote]

Ugh, the commute is the worst part about living in this area.  In addition to the time and stress (which are significant), also consider the cost in transportation (Metro or gas and maintenance), in office clothes and dry cleaning, in packing lunches or eating out, in needing to take leave in order to be home for a repairman or similar issue, in needing to take more leave for appointments than you would if leaving from home rather than from work, in taking longer to pick up a sick kid from school or other emergency ....  OP is getting a huge lifestyle benefit and tangible financial benefit from not commuting.[/quote]

NP.  I don't [b]agree [/b]with what you're saying here, but I am happy to give up some conveniences to make $100k more.  However, I do agree with the general gist of all the pp's - OP has it pretty good.  It's hard to find a job that pays more that wouldn't be a lot more work and less flexible.  They exist, but are sort of like seeing a unicorn.[/quote]

That should be "disagree" - I don't disagree with what you're saying.[/quote]
