My employer closed my office and forced us all to Philadelphia. Commute went from 20 min to an hour (some days more). I had to pay 300 a month for parking and city taxes were 250 more a month, not to mention more in gas. I was miserable and broke. Turns out it was the best thing that ever happened to me. I finished my degree while working. Found a job posting with in the company (big company with a pension so I wasn’t about to give that up) that required us to move 5 hours away. The job was something I was excited about and It was almost double my salary, higher pension band, more opportunity for OT. Got the job, sold my house, moved to the new city. I rented a house blocks away from work, no more parking fees, no more outrageous city tax. Absolutely love what I do.

Do you still commute?

I’m a medical assistant. My commute is an hour or so, bad days could be up to 2hrs. And honestly I hate the drive, but I love my job. And none of that matters if my health is not well. My anxiety, blood pressure, & blood circulation are all mest up (got some cool compression socks tho) I’m at a normal weight/height & only 22 years old. Honestly you just have to set up goals for that position, ask yourself how long you’re going to be there for ? Are you at least growing and getting raises ? Best of benefits ? Have you paid off your car loan, school loans etc ? Set SMART goals for yourself & make good connections is what I understood from this video. And no I don’t want to be in this positions for another 10 years. But I do want to go back to school, so that means I need to hurry up and pay off my student loans !!

Where does her husband want to be in 5-10 years? That's the key. All this talk about minor difference in base salary, insurance and commute is all smoke. And for the record, a 1 hour commute is not that bad. If his future lies in getting out of debt now then maybe the farther job is better. Sometimes you need to take a step back to make forward progress. If his future lies in some expectation that he will get a raise or promotion in the close job then he should stick with it.

And I would hate for her husband to take the position with the one hour commute, and then for whatever reason the company doesn't have the overtime available or something.

I commute an hour to work. Luckily I have a company vehicle so no expense out of my pocket. Yes it sucks sometimes but it gives me time to focus on my job while I’m driving there and some time to relax on my way home. The best part is that my “boss” lives less than 10 minutes away and I beat him there almost every day. He also leaves before I do 😂

Sorry Dave, but I think you got the math wrong here. She said her husband would be making upwards of 90K instead of 60K and the insurance would be cut in half from $800 a month to $400. That's a total yearly increase of 35K! This was only a temporary job that could help them get out of debt faster. With his skills he could always find a good paying job after this assignment was over and would have a better resume with more experience!

Exactly I drive 1hr to work every day for 55k. And it turns into almost 2hrs in a bad snow storm . The insurance cost a nill, just stay an be stable and don't ever count on over time

I would call the company back and politely decline. With this statement. "You're offering a job for me that is a step back from what I currently am: a supervisor. Thank you, but it does not meet my career goals to step back in roles." The fact that they had to offer you the old job back at higher pay after you already left shows that they didn't value you to develop you into a supervisor. The commute isn't the problem. Most people commute an hour to work at least. The red flag was not valuing you originally to make you leave for elsewhere to further your career.

An hour commute? Big Deal!!!

There are a number of tough choices out there. I worked for a well-known food company, offsite, for 2 years. As I am not really a people person and love my pets, it was the best thing ever. But, I didn’t trust it. I worked these 2 jobs for a few months. So, I also took on a job in the next state, working for a well-known hair and makeup brand - didn’t trust them either. Commute was 4+ hours/day total, working over 100 hours/week. I lost both jobs within months of each other. But, although the whole thing was a killer and I knew I could not do 20+ years if that commute, like other passengers I’d commuted with, the money poured in and I saved a lot. I’ve since found something with a sweet commute, great money, and working with people I actually like and respect - which was a switch. Having done what I did, without even knowing of Dave Ramsey at that time, I’m glad that it gave me an opportunity to build an emergency fund, considering that I’ve come to the realization that I need to be low/no contact with my family. As Dave often says, some of the things you must do are not forever. They are to get you to a more comfortable place in your life where things aren’t a horrifying emergency. That’s something I didn’t even know I’d need a year ago yet, something was either guiding me or compelling me, other than a reason to expand my portfolio. I was quite unhappy at the time and I’m glad that phase has ended. Onward and upward.

Feel sorry for americans making decisions based on insurance.

I drive an hour to work. It sucks balls. But it pay very well.

Where does he want to be in five years? Where is she TODAY?

The more and more i watch this show, the more and more I am convinced that when politicians talk about how hard life economically is nowadays...its because people have no common sense, absence of a proper upbringing in how to make good decisions, and not planning ahead.

@@lithium25693 With all due respect, thats none of your business. All anyone needs to know is that I am no longer that person. It took a great deal of reflection and personal growth on my part to recognize my financial situation was not based on economics, but my own low self-esteem and inability to know how to live above poverty level.

I got an offer of getting paid 95 per hr plus travel expenses plus hotel plus and extra bonus check per every month Monday thru Friday from 6 30 am to 2 30 pm but the job is 8 hrs away from my family but I will be making about 95 000 a year and right now I'm making 45000 year I will see my family every Friday night full Saturday and half Sunday should I take the risk being away from home wife kids ?

Why can’t your family move with you

Insurance does matter if you have a Chronic Disease :)

Dave is wrong on health care. Affordable Care is not Obama care. The latter is a slur. In the great Christian nation, I am stunned many don't see it as an obligation to help people with their health care. Where is the love?

Love does not come from government. It does not come from stealing via taxes from one group to give to another group. Jesus was not fond of tax collectors and never advocated for government to give stuff to people. He instructed people to willingly help the less fortunate. I have a constitutional right to own a gun, but don't expect the goverment or taxpayers to buy it for me. Same with food, healthcare, housing and clothing.

STAY

What’s wrong with doing the same thing at 40? Why do I have to want to climb the corporate ladder and be a better slave and work more hours and endure more stress and neglect my wife and child more, all for money… money is not my god. America is pagan.

that is nothing try 2 and a half hours

No

Sounds like Dave doesn’t like Obamacare. 😁

question... Should I commute an hour for a cheaper home cost?!?! YES/NO?! Opinions

I am running into this dilema- a house for the same price as a crackerbox condo i town. The house is a 40 minute drive from work. The condo is 15 minutes from work. The house is in my hometown where I grew up as a kid. My sister and mom would be blocks away from me at any given time when I am not at work. The crime rate is litterally ZERO in my hometown. The condo here in town...well it's a city and it draws riff raff from Chicago like flies on manure. Both new places are the same price, both have pros and cons. The condo also sits 100 yards from my wife's office at church where she works, has several restaurants, and amenities close by. My home town......we have two taverns, a post office, and a convenience store. Nearest town with a Walmart/grocery is 15 minutes away. BUT I'd be close to my retired mom (dad passed away a couple years ago), and my sister and her family. Tough choice, haha.

Dude dave is speaking truth, but is really rude.

Poor baby. I took the bus to work. It took 3 hours each way. I can believe these spoiled people.

commutes are hard

Lol a one hour commute... I commute 2 hours both ways then some times on Fridays it can be 3 hours... Good ole 405

Kameelah Brown-Spence actually you can do one-way and bring a small portable stove and sleeping bag. You can then stay at the office and come back on Fridays.

The health insurance does matter because they are companies that actually pay your health insurance I left one company they were taking 120 every check to a company they gave me free health insurance

Such vitriol here with comments. She called on behalf of her husband. She wants him to do what's best for the family. She said: "We have been discussing..." WE. this is a question for both of them, not what everybody else does.

1 hour commute is nothing

1hr is nothing.
