The average commuter spends 200+ hours per year in transit. That's 25 full work days. Calculate what your commute really costs.
Calculate annual commuting costs, time lost in traffic, and the hidden price of living far from work. That "cheaper" house might cost more than you think.
Working from home just 2 days per week can reduce your annual commute cost by 40% and save you 100+ hours of travel time.
Many employers offer pre-tax transit benefits. Plus, you can use commute time productively for reading, work, or rest instead of focusing on driving.
Moving closer to work might mean higher rent, but calculate the total cost. A $200/month rent increase is often cheaper than a long commute.
