Just at 9 miles one way. Once a commute becomes a certain length that job hourly wage or salary takes a huge hit in my book. I had a 40 mile commute for about 6 months after college and it became clear why “give” 2 more hours towards something I don’t want to really do in the first place. I have been fortunate to have been doing that 9 mile commute for 20 years now. I figured the savings in gas, vehicle wear, etc.. has been thousands of additional dollars over the years I could invest. |

Been retired since 12/2000 almost 20 years now. My shop is our Two car garage and it’s attached to the house. Everything is on wheels so i can still get our pick up truck in there if I want too. -- St Augustine FL, Experience is the sum of our mistakes! |

Distance and time are two different things here with DC traffic, my “regular” commute is about 40 miles, and can be 1.25 to 2 hours. For my further out locations, maybe 1 visit a month, 250 miles and 4 to 5 hours. -- I've decided 1 mistake is really 2 opportunities to learn.. learn how to fix it... and learn how to not repeat it |

Never really clocked it but it takes me about 9 minutes going through downtown. I estimate it is about 4 miles. My wife works with me but drives separately. When we buy used cars we can get a high mileage one and after a few years it becomes a low mileage version. Even driving my truck to appointments and such after 2 1/2 years I have yet to crack 20,000 miles. I am very spoiled. |

Thanks you guys. Some good points about time vs miles. It’s normally 18-20 minutes for me. |

Retired now, but my commute was ~5 miles. I used a bicycle to work about 150 days a year. -- Steve - Impatience is Expensive |
