ParticipantNo, Ren, we aren’t on call. We refuse to spend 2 hrs a day commuting since we had kids. That’s why we sold our townhome in North RB – so we tried that for about 1.5 years (at rush hour) and rented since then in UTC. Never looked back. Been very happy. Even if we buy in PQ let’s say we’d still spend between 1-1.5 hrs every day. But we have to draw the line somewhere.
Actually, renting with sweet 15′-20′ minute city street commute is a HUGE incentive to NOT buy….when I remember those LOOOOOONG commutes…. I count my blessings every day.April 5, 2011 at 11:54 AM #683611ParticipantNo, Ren, we aren’t on call. We refuse to spend 2 hrs a day commuting since we had kids.

It is. Best of luck! I couldn’t imagine doing the commute from Temecula every day, especially since having kids. Are you a doctor? (just a guess, since you mentioned 3 yrs).

ParticipantWe have kids, but it helps that we both have flex hours. I get up at the butt crack of dawn, my wife gets to sleep in but comes home later, so at least one parent is with the kids for 6 waking hours/weekday. The savings over three years will enable us to buy a 15-minute commute and a second income property.
On a bad day (rain) I’m in the car 2.5 hours. Compared to that, it will be like Christmas every day of the year…
