My unwillingness to commute any more than I absolutely have to has cost me, conservatively, in the neighborhood of 3/4 of a million over the last 22 years, and I've been driving it for the last 16.
Tried explaining these numbers to a 30yr old new hire. My wag over a 30yr career its at least $1M. Not counting compounding.
Doesnt matter what carrier, its $, time away from family, and early medical issues from the stress.
