the advantage of living closer to work

• better work life balance can be achieved when you have a short commute to work
• you get to spend more time with family – your spouse , the kids
• you can take your kids to school , take part in their school activities
• the shorter commute also means that you can walk or ride a bike to work
• of course , all this was true before the current covid 19 crisis – now people are just working from home
• in a two income family , if you are a one car family , it saves a ton of money on financing , insurance, maintenance , fuel bills , repairs … your net worth goes up as well
