Kaotic Lazagna - Whoa, that's a long commute! That definitely adds up - (100 x 5) + 20 = 520 x 52 weeks = 27,040 (and that's not including an additional 100 miles for the weeks you work six days). Yep, I can definitely see how you can easily put on 28,000 miles or more a year! I actually wouldn't mind living far from work, because the property taxes in Columbus and the surrounding suburbs are extremely high. Once you get outside the city, property taxes are much, much lower. However, we get a lot of snow and ice here in the winter. Driving in the dark, with snow or freezing rain is not something I'd be brave enough to deal with.

Yeah, housing is just way more affordable outside of the Bay Area here in Cali. If I had to deal with snow though, I probably wouldn't drive that far as the risks outweighs the cost of living.

Kaotic Lazagna - Housing in the bay area is famous for being insanely high. I don't know how even the rich can afford to live there!

Beats me, that's why I moved out. I think you have to make $30/hour to just be able to RENT a 2-bedroom apartment.
