I’d say that it depends. Commuting in any form adds stress and hassle to this job, but what are the other circumstances? Does your spouse have a good job and doesn’t want to move, are kids currently in great schools, do you have a good side hustle where you live,………and the biggest question…….are you happy where you live? I used to live in base and hated it. Couldn’t stand living in the burbs, family wouldn’t be happy living near any big city so we moved to the middle of nowhere. The commute sucks, but the family is happy and I’m where I want to be when I’m not at work. Met another guy who lived on a family farm in Kansas. He drove 2 hours to the nearest airport to commute, so basically 2 legs. He was happy as well since all he really wanted to do was farm and raise cattle. Bottom line is that it depends. If you’re someone that would be ok living in a city or the burbs and can move, then I’d move. If not, consider yourself extremely fortunate to be able to live where you want and have a job with flexible schedules, more days off than the office crowd, and that pays what this does.
