re: Anybody here commute 45-60 miles each way for work?

I have been driving 100 miles round trip every day for over a decade. I hated it for the first year or so, dealt with it the next several years, and then after about 5 years, I didn't bother me at all.

I get paid roughly $15 to $20K more a year for doing this, and to me, it is well worth the additional cost of $3-4K a year in gas, and the little extra for vehicle maintenance.

I don't look at it as having to drive extra miles to go to work, it is more like they are paying me the extra salary for driving on the clock (easy money).
