Yea if you have money your not going to live there true, but lots of people with money do spend 90 minutes on the road one way almost every day who work in San Jose, I know and work with some of them.[/quote]I never understand why people would put up with 90 minutes commute. My limit is 5-15 minutes. In the past, when I was interviewing at GOOG and AAPL, first thing I did was scope out housing to see how much it cost for me to live 5-15 minutes away from those companies and have good school. They’re all well over $1M for your stand 4/2 1600 sq-ft place.
The way I see it, time is money. If you’re spending 3 hours each day in your car, if you live 5 minutes from work, you can either put that 3 hours each day working at your current job to get more work done and potentially lead to a promotion, spend more time with your family, or get another part time job. Not only will you save time to do more productive things, you also save $ in gas and car maintenance.
