i live AND work in temecula. i have a 5 minute commute.
before i moved, I was living a LOT further away and had to commute 75 miles each way… i spent 1.25 – 1.5 hours in the car EACH way. I did it for six months and aboslutely hated it.
all that time in the car is time i was away from my wife, kids, etc.
time on the road ups your chances of being in a crash and getting hurt. it psychologically tires you out too. by wed/thur I was beat…from all the commuting.
getting up too early to make the drive. if you have to work late, your kids are asleep when you get home.
not worth it … at least not to me. i know not eveyrone can live so close to work like me..but if you can cut down your commute…it’s wonderful. life is too short to spend it on the freeway…
