inm Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 (edited) Think of it like this: If you stay where you are and just drive the 45 minutes everyday, you'll spend $X on gas. If you move, you'll spend $Y, but also pay $Z for rent. If (Y + Z) > X, then stay at home and enjoy the drive. I almost made this mistake a while back. I had a 40 mile drive to work, 40 home. 80 miles a day, 16mpg, figured for $3/gallon, ended up being something like $700 a month. The apartments I was looking were like $1100 a month, PLUS it was still about 10 miles of driving per day, so gas still ended up being like $100 or something. $1200 > $700, so I just stayed at home and dealt with the drive.

Baydestrian Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 Bassface is right, I make $12/hr full time, just turned 25 a couple weeks ago and still at home. Need to be out by next August according to my pops plus I want to be of course. Need to find a second job and a buddy with a job, which I only have 1 of. OP, just wondering what city the Toyota dealership is in?

mw02civic Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 Id say stay where your at and enjoy your commute. At times I wish I had to drive further to go to work just to jam out for a bit. I live 8 miles from my job. 70 mph on open road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
