25-40 minutes, depending on traffic. Which I don't mind--i like to drive my truck and listen to audiobooks.

2 blocks. 4 minute walk, 5 if I have to wait for the traffic light.

quote:that's like adding 8-10 hours a week of work already on to your 40-60 hours that you aren't getting paid for. Actually it's costing you gas and maintenance. Quality of life needs to be added in the equation as well.
Is it worth living a 40-50 minute commute away from where you work and/or children go to school if it's significantly cheaper and the school has a cheap tuition?
Living an hour in the suburbs removes you from the 'cultcha', but also puts you an hour away from actual culture like museums, restaurants, theaters, musical venues, etc.

1 hr to 1.3 hours if LA1 is sucking. Actually kind of enjoy the drive when there isnt a ton of traffic. No regrets.

Depends on the city. None of those things are an issue for me to get to from the suburbs.

I commuted for awhile from Metairie to lower Belle Chase and hated it.
But I also commuted for awhile from Metairie to Thibodoux and it wasn't too bad.

30coming into work; 40 minutes leaving work. Several reasons worth the commute:
-great ISDs for our kids when they start school
-very close to my wife's work
-we like the area (McKinney/Plano area would be best area but that commute for both of us would be killer)
-my work is in an area I would not want to live (Arlington)

27-28 minutes if I drive the Speed Limit, mostly controlled access (one traffic light).
Been doing it since Reagan was in the White House, someone recently told me that I should get a smart horse for the commute and I could just tell it in the evenings "Bozo*, To the Barn!" and then fuggetaboutit.
Kind of an Amish self-driving vehicle.

Takes about 40 minutes to go 20 miles in the mornings and about an 1 hr 30-45 minutes coming home. If I have to go to our corporate office, 40 miles, it's a minimum of 1 hr 15 minutes in the am and 2 hours+ in the afternoon.
Add another 30 minutes for either if it's Friday afternoon. I hate Atlanta traffic.

I lose this thread. My average commute is about 1 hour 15 min and I fly once a week.
I do have a company car and get mileage though.

25 minutes. But after dropping off two kiddos at two different schools it becomes 50 minutes
Posted on 8/30/17 at 6:50 am to Collegedropout
75 to 90 minutes depending on speed
Posted on 8/30/17 at 6:50 am to Collegedropout
13 minutes.
Posted on 8/30/17 at 6:52 am to Collegedropout
My commute is 20 mins on light traffic days and 25 if heavy traffic. 30-45 mins isn't that bad of a commute.

It worked well for a couple of decades.
