It took a long time to find something better.  The wife had a gig that was only about 10 miles away.  When you have two peoples' jobs to account for it's a lot harder.  When I got into that situation, I couldn't afford a big truck or a land yacht like my dad drives. But somewhere along the way making my commute, I resolved that I would always own a small, fuel efficient car, just in case.

I’ll agree to that.  My wife and I have been looking for another place to live/land.  Her needs and my needs are vastly different.  At least on a commuting basis. Her and I both, in the past have traveled 60+ miles to work each day.   There are places we have found that would work for her but not me.  She’s used to an hour commute.  My business is more so locally.  I can’t be in Two places at once and run a business.   It’s either one or the other sacrificing or ditching our jobs.  Neither of us are ready to do that. In the interim, we’re both left without what we really want and stuck where we are.
