[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree OP. I have thought this my whole adult life. I have only had jobs that are flexible enough that I can still exercise. Not surprisingly, I don't make a lot but luckily I'm married. However I think my DH health is suffering because he works at a demanding in-person job with a 30 minute commute. [/quote]

30 minutes is a demanding commute? I drove 53 miles a day round trip, 40 minutes in the morning, between an hour and 70 minutes at night, and before I got a job with a shorter commute, had two small children in daycare.  This generation is so incredibly spoiled.[/quote]

This sounds like a horrible quality of life. That much time in the car is bad for your health and bad for the environment. And let’s be real, kids shouldn’t be in daycare 10 hours per day while you work/commute long distances. I say this as a working mom who used daycare but always staggered hours with my DH (and had WAH/short commutes for hybrid days) so kids were there 7 hours max. Now I mostly work from home and my family only has 1 car. We walk our kids to school and have a short metro ride to our offices when we do go in (we live right near a metro station so no driving to get to metro).

Spending nearly 90 min a day in a car sounds awful, that is more than I spend driving in a week! Maybe even a month. Like truly truly awful way to live and you seem proud of it.[/quote]
