I lived 14 miles from my office and my commute would often be about 45 minutes in the morning if I planned to get in just a bit after 9, commute home was easily 90 minutes most days. Sometimes I’d stay till 7:30-8 and be lucky to get home in an hour. And that’s all in DC suburbs. Don’t ask me how bad the commute was when I was saving up money living at home 45 miles away.
